Hey Thanks for making this!

Just wondering this API call limit mentioned here https://www.nutritionix.com/business/api means, only two users can use this package in a month?

Yes, but I don't know how that applies to "development mode" which is the mode this package will be in when sending requests.

From the API docs section on authentication, it sounds like Nutritionix is using the x-remote-user-id header to determine the number of users on a key.

However, this is not a required header parameter and I haven't added it to the nutritionix_lookup() function. I believe when it's not specified it defaults to a value of 0 and is considered to be "in development mode", but I'm not sure what that means for request limits.

If you get a chance to test the limits, please report back!
