A calorie explorer for 5,796 foods (1–900 kcal)

Clean, no-nonsense calorie and macro lookup with a searchable, categorized table sourced from USDA FoodData Central — perfect for quick checks while building a meal plan. The UI shows attention to detail (category filter, inline macros, simple search), but the idea is utility-first rather than novel; adding an API, CSV export or portion-size conversion would push this from handy to indispensable. It's a useful complement to MealJar, not a replacement for established calorie databases or trackers.
