    Would love if anyone has any examples of these.

    Really need to start using MFP again to get back on track and would love if there were some sites that would allow for ease of tracking.

    I'm less likely to cook a new recipe if I have to figure out the calories in it first. I will do it when I've more time, but it would be great if the only work I had to do was measure out the ingredients.

    Skinnyms.com definitely does this. Can't think of anymore off the top of my head...

    Edit: In the desktop version of MFP, if you go to Food, then recipes, you can import any recipe from online (literally copy and paste the address into their little toolbar) and it'll import all the ingredients for you, and then automatically figure out the calories per portion. You have to double check everything imports correctly, and sometimes substitute ingredients they get wrong, but it's a fantastic way of keeping on track!

    BBC Good Food give breakdowns of calories and nutrients. They also have categories of recipes for low salt, low calorie, low GI. Very handy.

    I only saw your edit now, the recipe yokamabob on MFP never really works by copying and pasting, the ingredients never come across right for me and most things have to be searched for again :(

    Can't believe I never noticed this before on the good food site, it's the first site I normally go to. Such a tit!
