helps users answer the question:  \n**\"What can I eat nearby that fits my calorie limit?\"**\n\nUsers enter a calorie target, browse nearby restaurants, and get meal recommendations from real menu items, pulled from external restaurant APIs.\n\nThe app combines:\n\n- Location-based restaurant search (via **Foursquare Places API**)\n- Menu item and calorie data (via **FatSecret API**)\n- A local heuristic algorithm for calorie-based meal recommendation (no AI or ML)\n\n---\n\n## 🚀 Features\n\n✅ Live demo deployed at [https://bitefinder.dev](https://bitefinder.dev)  \n✅ Auto-generated **Backend API Docs** available at [https://bitefinder.dev/api/docs/](https://bitefinder.dev/api/docs/)  \n✅ Search nearby restaurants by location  \n✅ Browse real menu items with calorie info  \n✅ Get meal suggestions that fit your calorie limit  \n✅ Supports both chain and non-chain restaurants  \n✅ REST API backend (Django + DRF)  \n✅ React frontend (Vite + Tailwind CSS)  \n✅ Fully Dockerized for development  \n✅ Background tasks powered by Celery + Redis  \n\n---\n\n## 🛠️ Tech Stack\n\n| Layer        | Tools
