@BJ FollmerWeirich: Thanks for your feedback! We are working on making nutrition information available for every recipe. Thanks! -- Editor of RecipeLion

I wish you would include the nutrition facts with your receipts. I cook for a diabetic and I have high blood pressure, so I am continually checking the nutrition of every receipt. There are so many that I cannot fix, due to high sugar, salt, carbs, etc.
