Compute Nutrition
Compute detailed nutritional information for a given recipe (list of ingredients). The API will return the nutritional information for each ingredient, as well as the total nutritional content for the entire recipe. Aside from macro and micro nutrients, the API also returns flavanoid information and food properties such as glycemic index, glycemic load, and inflammation score.
This API wraps the compute nutrition endpoint by spoonacular's Nutrition API. Check out the tutorial about writing a diet and nutrition app or how to write a meal planning app using this API.
