How do I create my own recipe?
By the Platify team
Tap the + button in the middle of the tab bar, then Create recipe. It is free, with no Premium needed. Give your recipe a name, add its ingredients, set how many servings it makes, and save it to My recipes. Platify works out the calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre per serving from the ingredients you add.
How do I add ingredients?
Tap Add an ingredient and search for each one, then set the amount in its own units, like grams or one banana. If search cannot find a food, choose Add it manually and enter its name and its nutrition per 100g from the label.
Can I create a recipe from a photo?
Yes. Tap Snap a photo, take a photo of your meal or choose one from your photos, and Platify suggests the ingredients and amounts it can see. Check each one before you save: any line it could not match asks you to pick the right food. Only you can see your recipe photos in the app.
How are the calories and macros worked out?
From the ingredients themselves. Platify adds up the nutrition of every ingredient at the amount you set, then divides it by the number of servings the recipe makes. If one of the ingredients has incomplete nutrition data, the totals show as Estimated.
Where do my recipes go after I save?
To My recipes on the Recipes tab, next to the library you browse. Other members cannot see them. Right after saving, Log it now adds the recipe to your diary, and later you can find it under My recipes when you log a meal.
Can I change or delete a recipe later?
Yes. Open the recipe from My recipes and choose Edit to change its name, ingredients or servings, or Delete to remove it.
Frequently asked
Do I need Premium to create a recipe?
No. Creating, editing and logging your own recipes is part of the free plan.
Can other people see my recipes?
No. A recipe you create shows in your own My recipes, not in the recipe library other members browse, and only you can see your recipe photos in the app.
Why does my recipe say Estimated?
One of its ingredients has incomplete nutrition data, so the totals are a best estimate rather than an exact sum.
