How to Import a Recipe From a URL

The Recipe Import feature lets you paste any recipe URL from the web and have Nutrify automatically parse the ingredients and calculate the nutrition breakdown. This is the fastest way to log a home-cooked meal from an online recipe.

How to Open the Recipe Import Screen

1. Tap + on the home screen to open the food logging options.
2. Tap Recipe Import (or find it in the My Library tab).
3. The Recipe Import screen opens with two options: Import from URL and Enter Ingredients Manually.

Select Import from URL.

Importing a Recipe

1. Copy the recipe URL from your browser or another app.
2. Tap the URL field and paste the URL.
3. Optionally, enter a recipe name (auto-filled from the page if found).
4. Set the number of servings the recipe makes (default is 4).
5. Tap Import Recipe.

Nutrify sends the URL to its AI parser, which reads the ingredient list from the webpage and calculates the nutrition for each ingredient.

💡 Most major recipe sites work well (AllRecipes, Food Network, NYT Cooking, BBC Good Food, etc.). Some sites with login walls or heavy JavaScript may not parse correctly.

Reviewing the Parsed Ingredients

After parsing, the Recipe Review screen shows:

• A list of all detected ingredients with their quantities
• The calorie and macro breakdown per ingredient
• Total nutrition for the full recipe and per serving

Review the ingredients for accuracy. If something looks wrong (wrong quantity, missing ingredient), tap the ingredient to edit it, or use the Refine option to adjust the recipe before logging.

Logging the Recipe

1. On the Review screen, check the serving size is correct.
2. Tap Log This Meal to add the recipe as a single food entry for today.
3. Choose the meal category (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack) if prompted.

The recipe logs as a combined entry showing total calories and macros.

Saving the Recipe to Your Library

Instead of just logging, tap Save to Library to store the recipe for future use. Saved recipes appear in your My Library and can be re-logged any time without reimporting.
