[Feature Request] Recipes calculate nutriton data

[adrkable]

Myfitnesspal currently lets one create "meals" (or recipes) where the total nutrtion value is a sum of the meal's parts (ingredients). Nutrition data need not be sourced from MFP, it can be any nutrition database.

A few nutrition database APIs:

• https://www.myfitnesspal.com/api (pricing model isn't public)
• https://calorieninjas.com/api (each user would have to sign up for their own API key to keep this "free")
• https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/api-guide.html (each user would have to sign up for their own API key to keep this "free")
• https://www.nutritionix.com/business/api (each user would have to sign up for their own API key to keep this "free")
• https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data (has free API and a MondoDB dump)

Following this, I think manual entry of nutritional data would be fantastic. It would also lay the groundwork for potentially using one of the above services, in the future, for automatic calculation.

To calculate the nutrition information, the ingredients would have to be split into quantity and ingredient.

Check out #70 for more information on the thoughts regarding separating out the quantity from ingredients.
