| One more hint - it can be kind of a pain to change or remove one of these later because it lists all of the ingredients. So, after you've entered the ingredients like I described before, you could go to a day when nothing has been added yet, add a serving of your grouping, and then get all the info for one serving of your recipe - it will be the only thing tracked because nothing else is checked off or added. Then you could just create an entry for the serving (as a group or with "enter a food you don't see." I tend to plan, then change my mind if I'm out, and it's easier that way.

Absolutely - that's what the food grouping is for. Once you've added the ingredients, it asks you to name the group. It is then saved under the groupings tab of "add a food" so you can just add them all at once.
Just remember that it's the whole recipe in there, and when you add it to a given meal, to add a portion of the recipe that gives you a single serving
I also made a group for my coffee so that I can add "morning coffee" instead of coffee, sugar, and cream individually.

| Once you add your own recipe at SP does it save it for you? So next week if you make it again, you can just click on the recipe rather than adding all the ingredients again?

I make SP do it for me! Go to "add a food grouping" and just add the amounts that the recipe calls for - don't bother trying to figure out the single servings.
Name the grouping "lasagna recipe", for example, and then all you need to know is how many servings it makes.
If the recipe makes 7 servings, for example, anytime you want to add one serving to your meal tracker, just enter 0.14 (~1/7) servings of the grouping, and voila - SP enters the appropriate amounts and values for all of your ingredients.

I'm doing Weight Watchers. I'm on the CORE program. I like keeping track of my nutrition of the CORE items. It's amaizing.
I use MasterCook to get the breakdown for my recipes. I then add the recipe for one serving into the favorites at this web site with all the neutrition information from MasterCook. MasterCook isn't expensive ... around $10.00 for the software (at Target or Office Max)

Honestly, I do it by hand. (for cal and one or two other nutrients...)
I start with a copy of the recipe.
I use the 'add a food' to look up the nutritional infor for the amount in the recipe, then write it down.
I continue to do it for all ingredients -
Then total the numbers when I'm done.
Then divide by the number of servings...
Hope that helps...

Hi,
It breaks it down in Weight Watcher Points. I do not know the info for this site.
Thanks,
Karen

| Why not enter it in the WW site, get the breakdown and then add it to your receipe info when you post it here? family recipes are sometimes the best! Looking forward to seeing it.

I wanted to add a family reciepe. How do I do it and find the breakdown for it. I belong to weight watchers and at their site I can add a reciepe and see the breakdown.
Thanks,
Karen
