Why can’t recipes include products, only ingredients?

Modified on Fri, 24 Oct at 3:46 PM

Quick Answer


Currently, recipes can include ingredients from our database, not packaged products. Log products separately; we’re evaluating product support in recipes.


Context


Recipes are built from base ingredients to ensure consistent macro calculations. Packaged products can be logged separately alongside recipes in your diary.


How it works


1. Create a recipe and add ingredients from the database.  

2. Log packaged products as individual entries.  

3. Combine both in your daily log as needed.


Good to know


We’ll consider adding product support inside recipes in the future.
