Units of Measure for Create Recipe
The Create Recipe function is great. But the output is limited to "serving size." I would like to be able to select grams, or even add other units of measure as well. The only way to make it work is by doing a confusing workaround where you must manipulate the serving size.
PCOS & Pre- Diabetic
Hi, I’m on here trying to get help, and am honestly clueless. Around 2 years ago I was a completely healthy woman, perfect weight, and organs, I didn’t eat the best, but I didn’t eat the worst. I ended up randomly gaining 60+ pounds within the span of a year. I was still doing the same exact thing as before and was so…
My Recipe Box Display
Can we PLEASE have a way of sorting items in My Recipe Box. Either Default or by Name would be fine. As it is now, the default is by most recently added. I can't imagine this would be very difficult to do. Thanks for considering my suggestion.
Going with out cold storage for awhile!!!
Hello, I am planning a weird trip and cold storage is not going to be readily available. Stores and cooking equipment will be. I work a lot so prepping is ideal however storage is a small issue (or just an unsolved problem for now). I am not wanting to revert to my old ways of just eating whatever. I am looking for some…
Oatmeal... I ain't doin' it.
I WANT to like oatmeal. It smells amazing but the texture of wet oatmeal gets to me. I like protein bars with oats in them, and lord knows I love oatmeal cookies. So for this reason...oatmeal? I ain't doin it. My go to is usually eggs, and while versatile, I eat a similar egg white omelet every day. Days when I have time,…
RECIPE ingredients
Expand the number of items listed when selecting an ingredient, currently only received 5 choices, none of which was the ingredient I was looking for.
Can I access Recipe Discovery and Workout Discovery from an iPad?
Hello! I am new to MyFitnessPal and have searched for an answer but have not been successful in finding one. I believe I have the most recent version of the app and the iOS. When I google the question, I can’t find an answer that is less than a year old. Thank you for your help!
In the android app there is a menu planner option. Is this on the desktop site?
In the android myfitness app there is a plans feature. I can see the meals entered into the diary but I cannot see the meal details on the desktop site. How do is see the meal recipes on the desktop site.

It would be great to have for personal recipes the same fields that are available for community recipes: 1. Photo 2. Directions 3. Time to make 4. Time to cook
college student needing affordable and easy recipes
heya!! if anyone has any reasonably affordable and quicker or easier recipes to share, it would be greatly appreciated! Don't worry about how many servings it makes as I will often make a family-sized meal and portion it out for multiple meals in a week. Thank you kindly!
Getting sick of Chicken breast and thighs
Looking for simple recipes and techniques here. I eat Chicken breast or thigh almost daily for lunch and frequently for dinner. My kids are complaining too. I love spicy, and I prefer simple somewhat quicker cooking. I work from home and have full use of my kitchen plus a gas and blackstone grill. I have switched up some…

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

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…
Looking to Gain Muscle

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?
