Nutrition AI

Analyze Nutrition Text

Analyze a text description of a meal and return nutritional information.

Submit a plain-text description of what was eaten (e.g., "grilled chicken breast with rice and steamed broccoli") and the API will return a detailed nutritional breakdown including calories, macronutrients, and optionally micronutrients and ingredients.

This endpoint works identically to the image-based nutrition analysis but accepts text instead of an image. All the same options are available: include_ingredients, include_nutri_score, include_dish_description, etc.
