Equivalent Recipes (Calories)

Query to obtain recipes with similar macronutrient distribution

Use the similarCaloriesRecipes query to obtain recipes equivalent in macronutrient distribution as the one provided in the argument. Use the size argument to indicate the number of recipes returned.

If you already have a meal from a mealPlan query, you can use the serving argument to find more recipes. The recipes in the response will also have a serving field to know how many of the total numbers of servings have to be served to keep a similar amount of calories.

Arguments	Type	Required	Description
recipeId	ID	True	Recipe to which equivalents are to be returned
serving	Int	False	The number of recipe servings served. Default to 1.
size	Int	False	Define the number of returned recipes. If this parameter is not sent, the default number is 3.

Example

The following example returns recipes equivalent to the recipe ID provided in the argument. Since the size parameter is not defined, by default, the number of recipes retrieved is 3.
