This is something I'm working on. I started with a nutrition graph with endpoints for individual foods, units of measure (with mass conversion for volumetric and common units), physical changes (cutting, blending), chemical changes (cooking, fermenting), and nutrient stats. It's designed as the backend to an NLP interface for describing your recent eating. A food selection composes those endpoints I mentioned; and a recipe is a preset group of food selections. I'm not sure if that's how it should be long-term or how recipe discovery will work, but the goal is an agent that you can talk to about your nutrition intake, food buying, and cooking.

Is your repository public and/or are you willing to share? I am not looking to make this into a business myself but as a guy who is very frustrated that he can't properly organize his diet, I really want to use something like this. Hell, if it can be improved to be usable enough and to partially replace a personal nutritionist, one might sell access to it one day.

  The plan is to put out an alpha release this month. In the meantime you might check out https://www.eatthismuch.com/ https://www.eatthismuch.com/. I'm not that experienced with databases; so exposing the design might be unwise from a security perspective. I'm warm to the idea of open sourcing in the future though. I've only shared repo access with a few trusted engineers. If you think you might want to contribute, hmu ryan at terra dot farm.

    Unfortunately I am way too busy lately and I feel I would only leech and not contribute, so better keep me out for now. I have a very keen interest in the area however! What is most interesting for me recently is how exactly is such data represented in computer structures? Since I know that drawing example graphs and giving good examples would swallow huge amounts of time, I asked if the code is open-source so I could reverse-engineer the data model myself and not pester anyone. =) I fully understand you not wanting to OSS it yet. I'll be extremely interested if you do that one day in the future.
