> I once started working on something similar, but the goal was to suggest a list of ingredients for me to buy for the week so that I had a good total nutritional values. I don't work on it anymore though.

Cronometer has a feature that does this – it checks to see where you aren't hitting your daily targets for macro/micronutrients and then suggests foods that would allow you to hit those targets. Quite nifty.

Yes, that's what I ended up using, too! The goal for my project was just to build something as a side project (I was experimenting with Deno and Fresh at that time), not necessarily because I couldn't find an existing alternative.

I tracked my intake for 1-2 weeks with Cronometer and it helped me see what kind of minerals and vitamins I might be missing. I mean, these things are "ballpark" only anyways, and I wouldn't have the discipline to track my every meal. But good to get a general idea - kind of like a check-up, just doing it from time to time.
