Support single use recipes with servings
For most meals I make up recipes on the fly, based on what ingredients I have on hand. I'd like to be able to enter the ingredients just as in a normal "recipe", enter the number of servings, and then add the item to a meal. I'd also like to be able to edit an improptu recipe that was already added to my meal. There's no need to save the recipe, although an option to save it after the fact would be a nice addition. The overall effect would be similar to creating a recipe, using it, then deleting the recipe but it would be a LOT more convenient for me.
Here are some of the advantages of adding this feature:
I’m often cooking for myself and my wife and she also tracks her meals (though not with LifeSum). I would like to be able to tell her the calories per serving in each dish that I prepare. Today, this is awkward unless I create a named recipe.
Entering each ingredient as an item in my meal is awkward, since I have to divide each quantity by the number of servings. I sometimes do this, but I often make mistakes (e.g., enter 1 cup instead of ½ cup).
Creating a recipe involves many unnecessary steps. In my mind, I’m entering items for, say, dinner, but I need to navigate to Favorites, create a recipe, enter instructions (even if only one word), and then save the recipe before I can add it to my meal. It’s awkward.
Thank you!
