Is there a self-hosted recipe book with nutrition tracking?

Looking for a rather specific overlap of features. I know there are
quite a few recipe applications, but I haven't found any that also
support calorie/nutrient tracking, especially for multiple users.

I'm hoping to be able to create and store recipes. Then when I cook a
recipe, I can scale the portion size to determine the calories/protein
intake. Then my fiancee can add the same recipe to her daily food
intake, with a different portion size. Of course, not all of my food
is homemade recipes, so if there is some way to integrate with the
open food facts database or a conventional food tracker like
myfitnesspal, that would be amazing.

Currently I have Mealie, but I rarely use it because when I
create/modify a recipe, I need to update it in myfitnesspal too. I'm
not a big fan of myfitnesspal, but my fiancee uses it and I stuck with
it so we can copy each other's meals to make calorie tracking easier
when we eat the same thing (although they really don't make it
convenient to do in that app). Attempting to manage my recipes in
multiple locations is quite the inconvenience, so I'm looking for any
solution that combines recipe management with calorie tracking.

Please let me know if there is anything like that out there. Thank
you.

I've been looking for something like this for a while and haven't been
able to find anything. It would be a natural addition to a program
like Meali or Tandoor

Personally, I'm a big fan of Cronometer over MFP for many reasons, but
it's not self-hosted and there's no API so it doesn't solve that
problem for you.

I've been exploring the same question a lot lately and I'm leaning
towards [kcal](https://github.com/kcal-app/kcal), but I haven't tried
it yet so can't give a real recommendation.
