    I built Avocavo Nutrition to turn real-world inputs (“2 slices bacon”, “1 handful almonds”, full recipes) into USDA-verified nutrition with FDC IDs + links. • Accepts messy quantities, cooked/raw, servings. • Returns clean JSON (+ CLI/Python/REST), with the exact FDC link to verify. • 500 free calls.

    https://github.com/galvez/contagrama Right now I've got a tagger UI and an API that correctly identifies foods you've tagged (from the USDA Food Nutrition Database) and processes gram-amounts from plain text to produce a combined nutritional chart. This is very early stage so more of a call for help: the nutrient chart needs a better design and the API needs work in properly processing g/mg/ml and all the weight conversions defined in the usda_weights table. If you're into nutrition, liked the project and would like to help, drop me a note.

    I built a recipe manager that automatically shows nutrition info for any recipe. Import from websites or photos, create healthier versions, and keep everything organized across devices. The trickiest part was handling unit conversions accurately—turns out 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of sugar have very different weights! 100% free, available on web and iOS. Looking for feedback!
