Yes, I see what you are saying. Thanks for the detailed answer. Chip

Leitchi, Just to be clear, in my example above you wouldn’t weigh the noodles separately, the sausage separately, and the veggies separately. You put them all together and then weigh? Also, why do you like the Meal tab better? What does it do for you that the Recipe doesn’t? I’m still trying to figure my way around, so any…

@mtaratoot I should have been more precise. I do have them sorted, as you mentioned above. I meant on the Recipe Importer tab. There isn't a way to sort your recipes there.

@mtaratoot - thanks for the reply. For as many people that use MFP - paid and free (I pay) - they seem to be lacking quite a lot of functionality.

Thanks @springlering62 for the screenshots. That’ll help. And thank you @AnnPT77 for getting Spring… to answer. Chip

@Corina1143, Your recipes must have L O N G names. Thanks for the response.

@springlering62 I knew I'd seen someplace for notes before, and it was driving me nuts because I couldn't find it. It's in Meals. I'll give that a try, because I, too, like to see the micros. Thank you!

I didn't until this discussion and I made two changes as a result.

kshama2001 - This was helpful. I am a premium user but it's not available to get Net Carbs. (Assuming I'm still using MFP in 12 months, I'll definitely be $80 richer because I won't be going premium again. But . . . that's for another post.)

What’s the difference? I’m looking at the numbers by meal.

Hi AnnPT77, When I'm making something just for me, I do it like you do - add the ingredients in to the meal of the day. But there are three of us in the family and that's what I'm trying to figure out. But, I may have to look at using meals more for things I make for myself, typically breakfast and lunch items, on a…

@AnnPT77 - I was so focused on what I couldn't do that I lost sight of what was there. I also have the Macros of Net Carbs, Fat, and Protein in the top box, so I don't need them below. I, too, use the premium version because I want to know the macros by meal. I think the dashboard is lacking in terms of personalization.…

lynn_glenmont - Excellent advice about putting the PB jar on the scale and taking out what I need. Thanks.

Lietchi, nsk1951, and avatiach - Lietchi, nsk1951, and avatiach - Thank you all for your calm responses. I was in the heat of the moment when I posted. I’d spent a lot of time trying to get my recipe right, and I was upset when it wasn’t there. Let me ask you four questions. I’ve entered 21 recipes into the app and used…
