One-Pot Spaghetti With Cherry Tomatoes and Kale Recipe
This is my go-to fave of the moment! :) * The actual recipe is behind a NY times firewall but, will post the link below. * You'll also see the ingredients and a pic of the finished product. * To lower the calories, I switched the olive oil to avocado oil * Also added shrimp to make it a meal or, you can leave it out. *…
Calculate a Serving "Size"
Greetings, Nearly all recipes you find are quick to tell you the number of servings a dish was designed to provide, but they never tell you just how much a serving is, whether in standard or metric units. Maybe MFP could have a bit of code that helps calculate this information based on the amounts of the ingredients in the…

Can I edit recipes in existing foods
Hi - I've looked for answers to this but it seems inconclusive; others have asked similar questions with no answers and I've seen a tech support comment elsewhere around this but with no clear solution: Is it possible to edit an existing recipe within the system? For example, I scanned a bar code on a marmalade item that…
Copy Recipe or Meal to Change Items
Greetings, When it comes to recipes, I have several that are essentially the same thing, but one ingredient has changed; for example, I have two salad recipes where the protein changes (one has chicken, one has pork). I'd like the ability to copy recipes and meals with new names so I don't have to re-invent the wheel every…
High-ish protein, low effort pre gym snacks?
Hey y'all, I'm looking for some ideas on the above - high protein, low effort - pre gym snacks that isn't gonna break the bank. I've looked into a lot of protein bars and snacks and they're just ridiculously expensive for one package. Any homemade recipes would be greatly appreciated! Ideally those without adding protein…
Heart Healthy Diet

I didn't log anything for the last couple of days due to the fact of feeling disappointed and scared for not controlling my bad habits. I don't blame anything but myself control. So for anyone who has been on a heart healthy diet and…
I’m New
Hi - I’m just learning the ropes and would appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.
Hello all!
This is my second time on myfitnesspal, which is a great app. I've never had a big problem with my weight, but I do find myself slipping up every few years. Five or more pounds can creep up on you if you're not paying attention. ;) I use it mostly to get my weight back to what I consider my best level. I'm fairly petite,…
'Save As' for recipe creation
I like to have multiple versions of the recipe's I create. For example, same recipe except for a different meat. It would be great to be able to create recipe's by saving and editing an existing recipe rather than having to create from scratch.

Great minds think alike - so let's be friends!
Hi, my name is Jessica (26, f) and I've been working on my fitness, weight and overall health over the last one and a half years. I thought it would be nice to meet more people with a similar mindset! My family and friends are supportive enough, but generally don't really understand why I am doing what I am doing. My tool…
Add Recipes to Recipes
Greetings, I would like to have the option to add existing recipes to new recipes. For example, when we have homemade meatloaf, I use the leftover meatloaf in a sandwich later in the week; so I'd like to add a measured amount of the meatloaf recipe I already have as an ingredient in my meatloaf sandwich recipe. Cheers
Create recipe from my foods
Currently the only way to add ingredients to a recipe is adding through the web or bulk. I’d like to see an option somewhere that allows me to use food items that I’ve created (in the My meals, recipes, and food section). This will save me time when creating my recipes as I won’t have to look through a long list of search…

Gousto or hello fresh integration
It would be great if there was a food box integration. Where it could sync up with the meals you had delivered that week from Gousto or HelloFresh. Also the breakdown of the items in it. Currently I’m just doing quick add and putting in the calories.

2 Part Question - Blog Recipes and Plans
Good morning, I just joined one of the MFP Plans for high protein and it suggests recipes for me to make, but the Print option doesn't work. It just takes me to the top of the screen and if I print the whole page it includes all the ads and makes the printout very long. Am I missing something? Also, how do I access My Plan…
