Sharing recipes with friends
I am the main cook in the family. Both my husband and I are trying to loose weight and so I am adapting recipes to be lower calories. I create them in my profile and then I add my portion, he then has to copy it across as a meal and adjust for his portion. It's clumsy. It would be much easier if my friends were able to…

Recipes vs ingredients
I added a recipe to MFP, and it calculated 30g total carbs. However, when I look up each individual ingredient in MFP using the same measurements as the recipe, my calculations total 20.3. Anyone know why this discrepancy?

Is Variety the Spice of Life?
I'm the type of person who doesn't mind eating the same breakfast and lunch most days, and having different various meals for dinner. Honestly, I probably wouldn't even mind the same dinner most days, if it was something I really liked. I only mix things up to make sure I'm getting all the nutrients I need, and to keep…

Add a Details Section to Recipes
For whatever reason there is a details section when I add new things to the meals section of the app, but not for the recipes section. This is very odd considering people are more likely to need to add notes to recipes they create more so than when grouping foods into a meal. Can a details section (just like what is…
