# Adapt a recipe to fit your macros

Save a recipe to your journal, then ask ChatGPT or Claude to add protein, cut calories or scale it, with nutrition worked out from the ingredients.

**In short:** Save the recipe to Splot by telling your assistant its ingredients and how many servings it makes; Splot adds up the nutrition from the ingredients. Then ask ChatGPT or Claude to adapt it, for example with more protein or fewer calories, and save the new version alongside the original, so logging a serving later takes one sentence.

The meals you cook most are worth getting right. An assistant can suggest swaps and portions that fit your targets, and a food journal works out what each version really contains.

## Save it once

Tell your assistant the ingredients and how many servings the recipe makes:

> "Save my overnight oats recipe: 80 g oats, 250 ml oat milk, 1 tbsp chia seeds, a handful of blueberries. Makes two servings."

Your assistant finds each ingredient in Splot's food data, and Splot adds up the calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving from the ingredients. The recipe is saved to your foods, so it's there in every chat and in the Splot app.

## Ask for changes

Now the reasoning part. Ask for what you're after, and let your assistant suggest changes:

- "Make it higher in protein without changing the taste much."
- "Cut it to about 300 kcal a serving."
- "Make it dairy-free."
- "Scale it to four servings for the week."

Ask it to save the result as a new version, so the original stays as it was. Splot works out the new version's nutrition from its ingredients, so you can compare the two side by side.

## Use it

- "Had a serving of my high-protein oats." Your assistant logs it with the saved nutrition.
- "I have 450 kcal left today. Which of my recipes fits, and how much of it?"
- "Plan my breakfasts this week using my oats recipes."
