Saved recipe section
A separate section where I can build my recipe for say a soup or pasta using the food selection but then be able to say I ate 1/4 or 1/6 of the recipe as a total.
So if I made a pasta using 1lb of chicken and 120g of dry pasta,1 cup of spinach, and 433ml of Alfredo sauce from Classico. I can enter this full recipe and then record in my diary that I ate 1/4 of the recipe and it be able to calculate the macros I actually ate.
Then if I have more pasta tomorrow I can easily record how much of the original recipe I ate maybe I at 1/2 of the original recipe today vs the 1/4 I ate yesterday.

You can already do this. I just created a recipe with everything I use, then at the bottom say it's 6 servings (or whatever) then you eat one serving

Having this function would make it so much easier when I’m cooking with what I’ve got at home I can portion it out easier

Agree with this, but make it weight based, ie, total weight of recipe in grams (say 500grams for the whole recipe), and then eat 300 grams of the recipe and know what the macro count is. (This is a feature available in every other macro app and critical for our users to keep them using the app instead of going outside of Trainerize).

Yes!!!! This is exactly what I’ve come to the search for. This would be very helpful. To be able to create a recipe out of ingredients I have on hand, then have the app be able to tell me what the numbers are if I only eat a cup of the soup, or a tablespoon of a sauce, etc.

Omg, without this the app is useless!! Because the whole point is for us to prep our own meals from healthy ingredients. I need to see the macros for the meal as I build it and then work out my portion sizes. I input the ingredients for a whole recipe yesterday and if course it f***ed up my days calories because there was no way to say I only ate 1/6th of this! My usual food tracker can do this AND has loads of UK foods in its database... It's much more useful than this app... 😣

We need the ability to enter a whole recipe and then select eating a portion of that recipe like 1/12 of a casserole. It’s way too time consuming to figure out all the macros for a family recipe!
