# Hit your protein target with ChatGPT or Claude

Find where protein falls short in your own meals, and get practical swaps and plans that fit your tastes and the rest of your targets.

**In short:** Ask your assistant where your protein falls short. With Splot connected, it reads your meals against your protein target, points to the meals and days that come up short, and suggests swaps you'd actually eat that still fit your calories. It can plan the fix straight into your journal.

Protein is one of the most common targets people miss. Usually it isn't a whole diet that needs to change, but one or two meals. Finding which ones is exactly the kind of question an assistant can answer from your journal.

## Find the gap

Ask about your own meals rather than for general advice:

- "Where am I falling short on protein?"
- "How much protein does each of my meals usually bring?"
- "Am I lower on protein at weekends?"

With Splot connected, your assistant reads your meals and your protein target day by day, so it can say "breakfast" or "Saturdays", not just "eat more protein".

## Get swaps you'll eat

Tell it what you like and what you won't eat, then ask for changes that keep the rest of your targets in place:

- "Give me three higher-protein breakfasts I can make in five minutes."
- "How can I add protein to lunch without going over on calories?"
- "Which of my usual snacks have the most protein?"

## Plan it in

Turn the best idea into a plan, so it's in your journal when the time comes:

- "Plan tomorrow's breakfast with at least 30 g protein."
- "Plan my lunches this week so each has 40 g protein."

The plans count towards your totals only once you've eaten them. After a week, ask again and see how much the gap has closed.

## Good to know

Your protein target is a journal setting, not medical advice. If you have a kidney condition or another medical reason to watch protein, agree on your target with a doctor or dietitian. To set or change it, see [set targets for your goal](https://splot.health/guides/set-targets-for-your-goal).
