Calorie Coach API

This is a Flask app built with Python. It's purpose is to consume Nutritionx and Edamam endpoints and serve up JSON for an app that facilitates relationships between a Trainer and their Client. There are endpoints that retrieve meals based on restrictions and nutrients based on a meal look up.

This was jump into a non Rails framework. I learned a lot about how to translate what I know about MVC into a new space where convention is not guaranteed.
