When family members or roommates use the system, it is often helpful to share information (particularly new database foods, custom menus, and custom recipes) to avoid everyone having to duplicate each other's efforts. The shared foods (under the food menu) addresses this problem.

If you would like to share your entries (not your food log, but your menus, recipes, and new database foods) with another person, simply enter their user name here. We will send them an email notification, and they can then click a checkbox to agree. If they want to share information with you, they do the same thing from their end.

The shared foods page shows users that you share with, and users that share with you.

Now on your custom menus and custom recipes pages, you'll see all the additions that are available to you. Click any of them for details.

When you choose "My Custom Menus" or "My Custom Recipes" from the Search Type option on your add food to log page, you will see all the shared items, as well as the user name of the person who entered them.
