Prerequisites

  https://www.nutritionix.com/business/api

- You will need a Mail Server active to make use of the password reset functionality

How to Run

1) Install an instance of MongoDB

2) Get an API key from Nutritionix
   
   Open the NutritionixServiceImpl and go to line 32

   Here you will need to enter the API keys (I have them set as environment variables)
   private String appId = System.getenv("APP_ID");
   private String appKey = System.getenv("APP_KEY");

3) Open the 'application.properties' file to configure the mail server
   
   spring.mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
   spring.mail.username=
   spring.mail.password=
   spring.mail.port=587
   spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.auth=true
   spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true

 You are now good to go.
