  • If you have suggestions or find bugs, feel free to email me at: The Programming Chef. The site will inform me of problems automatically, but I do enjoy questions and input from users.

  • Site, database, and all other resources hosted on Everleap.

  • Current supported data sets:
    • Various USDA food and nutrient databases (~38,000 items).
    • Recipes, as entered by users
    • Commercial products entered by users from nutrition labels
    • Food log entries entered by users
    • And others...
