Editing recipes created by CM in "Recipes & Meal Plans"

Help! I can't see how to make changes to the recipes provided in Carb Manager Premium. That's really necessary to adapt recipes to avoid food allergies! How do I do that?

  • I can’t figure it out either. Or to create my own recipe without importing from a website.

    To create your own recipe, go to the menu on the left hand side of your screen. The first thing is My Daily  Log, the second is Foods.  Select Foods. On the menu bar, select My Foods.  On the grey menu bar below Search, select Recipes.  Below that gray menu bar, select Create a Recipe.  once you have saved a recipe that you have created it will be in your My Foods list.  To edit a food in your My Foods list, on the right you'll see three dots.  Select them and a menu appears, view, edit, delete. Select edit. I don't know if this works on downloaded recipes, but you can give it a try.

    You can also use Custom to create custom foods such as frequently eaten meals (home or restaurant), and foods that you cannot find on the food list.

  • Thank you, but I don't think these instructions address my issue. I can easily create my own recipe and the other things you mention. What I can't do is edit one of the Carb Manager Recipes. They are the main reason that I paid for premium. But if I can't edit them, they don't do me much good because I almost always want to make changes.

    The first part of Moondrake's post tells you how to save a carb manager recipe to your account's my food page where you can edit and save your own version.

    Then you use the version in my foods when you need to include it in your daily foods.

    Select a recipe, add it to my foods, edit and save.

  • Awesome! Thank you for answering! I don't know why I didn't figure that out. Whatever I was trying to do didn't work, but it's actually super easy!

    Your welcome--I usually save with a name that includes something like  "mine", "my recipe", or "no salt"  to indicate that I've customized it.

    I just added my own recipe, entering the total amount of ingredients for 8 servings.  When I  add one serving to my log, it adds the total amount, not just one serving.  I can get around this by adding 1/8 serving.  Am I entering something incorrectly?  I would expect to be able to add 1 serving (out of the 8 servings recorded).

    I entered a recipe today and it worked fine--I even changed the number of servings a few times and it always altered the macros on it for me.

    Maybe the number of servings didn't stick--try changing it to something other than 8 and back again?

    goplay  I re-entered  the same recipe, same quantities into a new recipe.  This one works as expected. ???  I'll be deleting that first one.

    Glad you got it to work out.  Must've been a glitch in the first one.

    Moondrake I’ve done this but I can’t seem to add anything from “my foods” in the meal planner?

    Gentlen Sorry, I don't use the meal planner.   I just directly enter My Recipes to My Daily Log, either in advance or after eating.

    Gentlen Ok, I just went and checked it out, worked fine for me.  I went to the drop down menu, chose Meal Planner.  Chose tomorrow, December 19. Chose Lunch, Add Foods, My Foods, Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos (one of my personal recipes). Selected Add Tomorrow.  Closed Find Foods, went to My Daily Log for tomorrow and it was there.  I am a paid member, so that may be a factor.
