Momentum Menu Takes Restaurant Calories Seriously
A nutrition tracker built around sourced, dated restaurant-menu data rather than anonymous crowd entries.
Field notes
Momentum Menu exposes provenance directly on each food record, pairing calorie and macronutrient values with a source URL and verification date. Its examples include Olive Garden entries sourced to an official PDF and a Chili's record whose 2018 effective date is flagged as potentially stale. The project also describes removing 15,674 records after detecting a source-file error that reused one arugula reference for unrelated foods, then adding two cross-record safeguards.
