# Things to ask

> Log, plan and review meals by asking, with examples that work well.

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.
