Assessment: A public OpenAPI 3.0.3 document with credits and concurrency limits per operation, enum diet presets and a dated changelog describes a meal plan generator an agent can read well. Access needs a partner contract with no self-serve signup, no published price and no status page, and the API is in early access.

## Before you call it

1. Access needs a contract with Eat This Much first; ask the person to contact support@eatthismuch.com before planning calls
2. Send the key as X-API-Key. Each generate call needs calories, number of meals and preset_diet; keep macro percentages summing to 100 or use gram ranges, not both
3. Stay under 3 concurrent week, 10 day and 20 meal generations per API user, and treat 429 as a concurrency limit to wait out, not a quota
4. Request food_output=simple unless expanded nutrition is needed, and set include_groceries=false when the list is not wanted; each call costs credits
5. Read the changelog before upgrading, since 3.0.0 moved preferred_food_type into meal_settings and 4.0.0 renamed amount to servings
