My Easter Brunch: Cheesy Egg Bacon and Broccoli Casserole (pics) (customizable)

I made up a new recipe for my Easter Brunch, based on this post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10888158/breakfast-fried-rice-definately-adding-this-to-my-rotation#latest by @DJill68 and I wanted to share how it went! I guess I'm calling it a…

Hello!
Hi , I'm Mare , 64 and pre-diabetic. Looking to change my ways and get healthy. New recipes and encouragement would be lovely. 😊
Making recipes?
Ok, so I've been watching TikTok and finding recipes to use from there and I've been trying to track my macros and calories on here, but how does one know what's the appropriate amount of calories? For example, tonight I made some "Italian chicken cutlets". Italian bread crumbs, parmesan cheese Fry it in a pan till done…
Does MFP have any advice for website owners on making recipes maximally importable?
I've been looking around the web for a clue on how the recipe importer works so I can try and make my website recipes as easy to import as possible. I haven't been able to find any. I have found the docs for the REST API at myfitnesspalapi.com, but a quick scan led me to believe there is no advice in there about making…

SCAVENGER HUNT: A FITNESS-BASED PARTY
I like to write fun works of fiction and now I'm going to relate fitness and fiction. You have an exquisite estate and you're known for throwing the best parties in town. Is your scavenger hunt for the party planner only, or will it be an event for all of the guests? Please respond to the prompts however you'd like: How…
Allow fractional servings when creating a recipe
When I create a recipe I want my serving size to equal 100 grams. This allows for ease and accuracy when measuring up a serving. An example: if the recipes ingredients total weight is 1268 grams I will round up to 1300 and divide by 10 to get the number of servings, 13. It would be more accurate if the input field allowed…
New(ish) Member
Heya :) ) I just recently started a more serious and thought-out weight loss plan after dropping about 75lb. I decided to take advantage of that original weight loss and implement cardio and weight training to secure the health and physical well-being I want the most. I am not entirely sure how the friends feature works…
Vegan Support
Hi. I'm Cindy. I'm looking for active members who are vegan so we can encourage each other. Most people on my friend list are not active. I've lost way over 100 pounds so far. My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit now. Still losing though. Is there anyone interested ???
New recipe dumps me out after four ingredients
I'm trying to enter a new recipe and when I add the fourth ingredient, it dumps the first three. I tried changing the order of entry but the same thing happened several times. What is going on?
Recipe notes
Consider adding a notes field when creating a recipe.
Recipe Pet Peeve.
My apologies in advance. Mini rant: You know what is an awesome cooking tip? Only rating and praising an online recipe after you've made and/or tried the recipe. It drives me insane when scouring blogs, forums, websites, etc looking for a recipe, to read the reviews on a highly rated recipe, only to see comment after…
Vegan low calorie high protein foods
I am finding it hard to consume enough protein without blowing calories and fat content. (It’s incredible how much fat there is in food like a homemade vinaigrette, an avocado, nut butter, etc). I would love to know your favourite low calorie, high protein foods and recipes!
Portion size in My Recipes?
Hi all, when I create my own recipes it asks for number of servings. For something like soups, if I forget to save the individual portions in the fridge, I can’t recall how much makes up a serving (ie cup, ounce, etc) is there a way to add that to the recipe?
Gluten Free, bc the IgE
TL;DR: What are your favorite GF meals that don’t necessarily rely on the processed replacement foods? I couldn’t think of a decent title, lol. As of my daughter’s doctor’s appointment yesterday, she is to go on a GF diet for the next 4-6 weeks. Given our budget, this means we’re all going GF. I’m already overwhelmed at…
enter recipe
I would like it if the personally recorded foodstuffs were displayed first when entering a recipe. When cooking, you tend to use your personally preferred foods that you have saved.
New to the group
Hello everyone! I am new to myfitnesspal. I am using the tools to track food and exercise. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I know from past experience that if I don't track what I do things get away from me. I used the WW program on and off for many years. It took a long time to stop looking at food and…
Gazpacho made with Love for my Husband
Hi there, I would like to share my Gazpacho recipe with you and hear if you tried it and what you think. My husband just loves it! I'll leave the measurements of ingredients up to you. One can of diced tomatoes. Spicy Vegetable Juice and Zesty Italian Dressing for the broth. Use the dressing sparingly as to not overwhelm…
Recipe Bank Servings and Calories
Hi! I have been using the My Fitness Plan recipe Bank and have really enjoyed it! My question is are the Calories they list per serving including the sides too? For example the Slow Cooker Tiki Chicken says to serve with 2 cups of cooked Brown Rice along with the chicken. Are the total calories for that recipe INCLUDING…
Breakfast Fried Rice - definately adding this to my rotation
Eggs, bacon, Riced Cauliflower & Shredded Cheese. I made a double batch so I have a meal ready to go tomorrow. Just need to dump in a skillet to warm it up. Tasted great and very filling. I would eat this even if I wasn’t dieting. Cook crumbled bacon (2 slices) remove some bacon grease if desired. Stir in 2 eggs and…
Losing weight after menopause
Good morning! I'm Keri, and starting again. My hubby and I are going to try weight watchers, 1st time he has really wanted to try anything. I'm excited and hope that we will stick with it. I'm 195 goal 150, and I'm 53 years old. My nest is almost empty, and I'm the main caretaker of my Mom who lives with us. I'm hoping to…
Sorting of search results for ingredients to be added in recipe
Please add sorting option by name, by calorie, or by created/updated date after searching for an ingredient to be added in a recipe. Alternatively, add user option to either add ingredients from personally created/added food or through search from ingredients added by other users. This suggested feature is not yet in…
Time to dust myself off!
Hey everyone. I'm not new to MFP but I fell off the wagon and I rolled all the way to the bottom of the hill. Lost about 20lbs and thought I could do it alone but ended up gaining all of it and some back instead. Any help and motivation appreciated. Starting over on Day 5! New motivated friends welcome.
