Ask Your AI Assistant About Your Own Nutrition

A lot of people ask an AI about food now. Am I eating enough vegetables? Is this breakfast any good? You get a reasonable answer, but it's a general one, because the assistant has no idea what you actually ate this week.

You can now connect Nutriely to Claude or ChatGPT. Your assistant can then see your food diary, your targets and the nutrient values in our catalog, so its answers are about you.

Ask the question you actually have

Nutriely already shows you what's low and which foods it came from. An assistant adds something different: you can ask follow-up questions in your own words, until it makes sense.

Here's what that looks like with a real diary, from someone on our team who eats vegan. It covers the 14 days they logged over the last month. The numbers are real, but we've drawn and shortened the chat, and your assistant will word things its own way.

Am I eating enough vegetables and fruit? Yes, most days. You averaged about 480 g a day against your 400 g target. You reached the target on 9 of the 14 days you logged this month.

So how's my vitamin A? I thought vegetables would take care of that. Not quite. You averaged about 650 µg a day against a target of 900 µg, so about 73%. It also changes a lot from day to day, and the amount of vegetables doesn't explain it: 23 October: 621 g of vegetables and fruit, 308 µg of vitamin A 25 October: 690 g of vegetables and fruit, 1,607 µg of vitamin A

That's almost the same amount. What was different? The kind of vegetables. On 25 October, two foods did most of the work: Korean carrot salad: 782 µg Pumpkin lentil soup: 616 µg On 23 October, your vegetables and fruit were mostly apple, dried mango and a cucumber, tomato and lettuce salad. They bring plenty of other things, but not much vitamin A.

What could I add without changing much? Something orange or dark green. For an 85 g portion: Carrot: about 660 µg Kale: about 650 µg You're about 250 µg short on an average day, so one carrot would more than cover it.

You don't have to know which question to ask first. Each answer tends to suggest the next one.

The numbers come from your diary and from Nutriely's catalog, not from whatever the assistant remembers about food. They're still estimates based on what you logged. "Low" means low compared to your target in your diary. It doesn't tell you what's in your blood, and it isn't medical advice. If you're worried about a deficiency, talk to a doctor.

And when you just want to say what you ate

You can also tell your assistant what you had, and it will add it to your diary. "Two eggs and toast for breakfast." "Same lunch as yesterday." It tells you which foods and amounts it added, so you can spot a wrong match, and it only changes your diary when you ask it to.

It saves a little time. The point is what you do with that time: asking why your day looks the way it does.

How to connect

Connecting takes a couple of minutes and works with a free Nutriely account with a verified email. On a free account, your assistant sees today and yesterday. With a subscription, it can look back over your whole history, like the month above. We've put the steps for Claude and ChatGPT, with screenshots, on one page: connect Nutriely to your AI assistant.

What gets shared

This part matters, because your food diary can say a lot about your health.

Nothing is shared unless you connect an assistant and approve it on our consent screen.
Once connected, the assistant can read your food diary, notes, goals, nutrient data and insights, along with your nutrition standard, diet and unit preferences. When you ask, it can add foods to your diary or remove them, create and edit your own foods and recipes, and update a diary day's totals. It can't change anything else.
Your name and email address aren't shared through this connection.
This data goes to the assistant you connected and its AI provider, under their terms and privacy policy. Please read them first, and only connect if you're comfortable with that.
You can disconnect at any time from your account page. We then stop sharing data, but we can't delete what the assistant has already received. For that, contact its provider.

You can read the details in our privacy policy.

Start with one question

Pick something you're curious about, like a nutrient or a food you eat a lot, and ask where it shows up in your week. Then ask why. That's usually where the learning starts.
