Talk to your assistant the way you would to a person who keeps your food journal. It works out which foods and portions you mean, and asks a short question when something isn’t clear, such as one burrito or two.

Log what you ate

• “Log my lunch: chicken salad and a flat white.”
• “Had two eggs and toast for breakfast at 8.”
• “Same breakfast as yesterday.”

Portions help: “half a pizza” or “200 g of rice” is saved as you say it. Send a photo of your plate and your assistant estimates the meal and logs it, marked as its estimate.

Plan ahead

• “Plan a dinner that fits my targets.”
• “Plan my meals for the rest of the week, no fish.”
• “I had the lunch I planned.”

Planned meals sit in your journal beside eaten ones, and only eaten meals count toward the day’s totals. When you eat a planned meal, your assistant marks it eaten rather than logging it again.

Look back

• “How did my last two weeks go?”
• “Am I getting enough protein?”
• “What should I change in my diet?”

Your assistant reads your journal and answers from your own numbers.

Targets, foods and recipes

• “Set my targets to 2,000 kcal, 130 g protein, 220 g carbs and 65 g fat.”
• “Save my overnight oats recipe: 80 g oats, 250 ml oat milk, makes two servings.”
• “Remove the old granola from my foods.”

Targets need calories, protein, carbs and fat together, so your assistant asks for any you leave out.
