# Calorie-Counter 🍽️

**Calorie-Counter** is a powerful Chrome extension and API that helps users get accurate calorie information for any online recipe — even when the nutrition facts aren’t listed. It also powers nutritional data for the companion site [Cut-the-Crap](https://cut-the-crap.onrender.com), which simplifies recipes by stripping out unnecessary content.

## 🔌 Features

- **Chrome Extension**  

  Instantly fetch calorie and macronutrient data for any recipe you find online.  

  ➡️ [Install from the Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/calorie-counter/ldckclhppjhbfippbfadbcedmbefalkc)

- **API**  

  Serves as the backend for both the Chrome extension and [Cut-the-Crap](https://cut-the-crap.onrender.com), delivering nutritional information and cleaned recipe instructions.

- **Cut-the-Crap Integration**  

  The [Cut-the-Crap](https://cut-the-crap.onrender.com) website uses the Calorie-Counter API to provide fast, ad-free access to recipe instructions and calorie details.

## 🛠️ How It Works

1. The Chrome extension scrapes recipe data from the page you're visiting.

2. It sends the extracted data to the Calorie-Counter API.

3. The API returns calorie estimates and macronutrient breakdowns, displayed instantly to the user.
