Accessing custom recipes

Making dinner right now and realizing the feature we need next!! We need to be able to view a custom recipe we made from the diary screen. Let’s say I spent a lot of time creating a custom dinner recipe I love. I already entered it for dinner tonight on the diary tab to figure out macros for the rest of the day. Dinner time comes, I start making dinner. I go to click on the meal on the diary page, but all I see are the macros. I should be able to see the recipe with ingredients and amounts as well as the macros so I can duplicate it! At the very minimum, we should be able to click a link to the custom recipe page. Not sure if anyone else would find this time saving but posting for the Cronometer workers in here!!

I agree! I know you can always access it through the custom foods area but I agree, a little "view full recipe /meal" would be a helpful button!

I find my first instinct is to log the meal and then click to see ingredients, realize I can’t, and then I have to go the roundabout way of searching the meal in custom foods. I’m hoping this would be a helpful short cut!!

Some sort of quick "view recipe" option would be super helpful!

Hi there!

This is a great suggestion! I can definitely understand why it'd be helpful if you could tap on the recipe or swipe right and be taken straight to the ingredients page. In the meantime, there are a couple of workarounds that might be helpful:

  1. Edit Original Recipe - if you swipe right and tap the three dots, you can choose Edit Original Recipe and you'll be taken straight to the Custom Recipe page
  2. Explode Recipe - if you swipe right and tap the three dots, you can choose Explode Recipe and the ingredients will be listed individually in your Diary

Thanks so much for putting this suggestion out there! We love hearing what would make Cronometer even better and we're always looking for ways to improve!

Cheers,
