Future improvements

<<<<<<< HEAD

• Fetch Nutrion Data from an API suchg as Edamam Food and Nutrion API , Spoonacular API or USDA FoodData Central, instead of relying solely on LLMs.
• Build a meal planner.
• Optimize food choices and recommendations
• Improve prompts to further reduce LLM hallucinations (we all wish this could be 100% guaranteed!).
• Cleaning up the code more.
• Make outputs prettier.
• Some additional features <<<<<<< HEAD =======
• Fetch Nutrion Data from another API e.g. Edamam Food and Nutrion API , Spoonacular API or USDA FoodData Central. The future of this Project is mostlikely none existing anymore as the interest in it is no longer there.
