Nutrition is important, and is a key factor in cooking - determining both what to cook and how to cook it. The only reason I can see *not* to include nutrition as on-topic is if somehow that would lead to liability - e.g., the equivalent of "ask your doctor" on a health site or "ask your Rabbi" on Judaism. But nutrition is a very key part of cooking, and in fact a limited amount of nutritional facts are actually required on packaged foods in the US and many other places, so clearly this is a "normal" thing to discuss. I could see some *safety* issues in extreme situations - e.g., a question asking how to determine which fish are safe for sushi - but that is more food safety than nutrition.
