Entering a recipe into my foods

I make most of my own recipes from scratch- anything from bread to sauces. Is there some easier way to add it into my food diary then adding all the ingredients and dividing by the percentage I had? Or without loosing information like I would if I added them as a day, then added the caloric, fat, and protein info into a new food. Am I missing something, or could this be a potential improvement to the food diary?

Hi, ducky406,

My Food Diary doesn't currently have the ability to pull it all together the way you describe, but these are great suggestions -- I'll pass them on to our developers.  Thank you!

Thanks! It would be a huge help.

I have this same question - if you look at caloriecount.com, they have a tool where you can build your recipe and then log a serving, and it's pretty cool.  That's the site I was using until I decided I really liked this one better for the most part - but missing that one element is making things a little tricky.  But for now, I'm using the recipe tool in calorie count and then just adding the info here.  A little bit of a pain, but it does work...
