Recipe API

Skills / Macro Coach

Hit your numbers with real food and honest math.

Give Claude your protein and calorie targets; it plans meals from recipes with USDA-backed per-serving nutrition, shows the arithmetic, totals every day against your goal, and flags anything more than 10% off — with targeted fixes.
