Several times now, I've painstakingly entered in a recipe and saved it, then added it to my diary, only to have the same recipe disappear a few hours later. Oddly, the entry in the diary remains, but then I have to try to remember what went into the recipe for the sake of leftovers, etc. Since most of my "recipes" are actually tweaked on myfitnesspal to meet a certain nutritional profile--that is, I make them up on the spot, trusting myfitnesspal to record them--this means that I'm essentially losing the entire recipe.

How likely is this to continue? I really enjoyed most of the features and functionality of myfitnesspal since joining last week. I've lost several pounds so far. I would like to keep using this app/website as my primary weight-loss tool. Please, would someone give some attention to the database and figure out where the lost entries are going?

Thanks. :)

You're not alone. Was just reviewing an older recipe of mine today (in order to make it). Once it was done, tried to add it to my diary and discovered the recipe has vanished. I'm using my Android phone with the app, and I've noticed some other odd behavior (for example, the past 3 days, whenever I launch the app, it immediately starts with an add-to-diary entry for 1 cup of 1,000 calories?). I suspect the Android app is glitching and sending a signal to delete the recipe even though I've sent no such command.

Fortunately, the recipe for "dirty rice" is simple enough; but it still means I have to find all the packaging and re-scan everything.
