Plate Pal: Calories and macros for a food, dish or product, for the amount the user says
platepal_get_food_nutritionPlate Pal. Calories and macros for a food, dish or product, for the amount the user says. For requests like "how many calories in a Big Mac?", "protein in 200g chicken breast", "calories in chicken biryani", "a slice of pepperoni pizza", "a large latte" or a whole meal like "2 eggs, 2 slices of toast and a coffee". Takes the whole amount and food in q, or grams or servings separately. Generic foods and dishes (thousands, including fast food and restaurant dishes) use USDA values with real portion weights (slice, cup, small, medium, large, one item); brands come from Open Food Facts. Chain items ("McDonald's large fries", "a Greggs sausage roll", "KFC Zinger burger", "grande latte from Starbucks", "6 inch Italian BMT from Subway", "20 piece McNuggets") use the chain's own published figures for that size, UK or US by country, and return a chain object (name, region, item, size, weight_published); when the chain doesn't publish a weight, amount.grams is null and per_100 values are null. For a chain item not in the table, a typical USDA version is used and the say line says so. A whole meal returns items (each food with its amount and nutrition) and total. Returns nutrition for the amount, per_100 values, portions, UK traffic lights (per 100 g, or per 100 ml for drinks) and caffeine_mg for drinks that have it.
