info:
  title: foodose Foods API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: GLP-1 nutrition targets and a cited food database.
  description: Daily calorie, protein and fibre targets for someone on a GLP-1 receptor agonist, modelled with a dose aware appetite ceiling rather than the standard assumption that appetite is unchanged. Free, anonymous and cacheable. Weight, height and age are never stored. The engine is the one behind the Foodose iPhone app (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6766828479), which applies it every morning to plate a day of food around the user's GLP-1 dose week. Educational only. Not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for the clinician who prescribes the medication. Not appropriate for pregnancy, breastfeeding, insulin or sulfonylurea use, a history of disordered eating, or anyone under 18.
