🥗 Nutrition Tracker

Eat smarter, not harder. Log meals, hit macros, get personalized suggestions.

The Problem

Nutrition apps are tedious. Scanning barcodes, weighing portions, logging every ingredient—it's exhausting. You start motivated but quit within a week. Meanwhile, you have no idea if you're actually eating enough protein or too many carbs.

The Solution

OpenClaw makes logging effortless: snap a photo or describe your meal in plain language. It estimates macros, tracks patterns, suggests meals that fit your goals, and adapts to your preferences over time.

Setup Guide

Step 1: Install Nutrition Skills

openclaw skill install nutritionix  # food database
openclaw skill install recipe-parser
openclaw skill install remind-me
openclaw skill install grocery-list  # optional

Step 2: Configure Nutrition Goals

Create ~/openclaw/nutrition/profile.json:

{
  "goal": "maintain",
  "calories": 2200,
  "macros": {
    "protein": 150,
    "carbs": 220,
    "fat": 73
  },
  "preferences": {
    "diet": "none",
    "allergies": [],
    "dislikes": ["cilantro"],
    "cuisines": ["mediterranean", "asian", "mexican"]
  },
  "mealTimes": {
    "breakfast": "08:00",
    "lunch": "12:30",
    "dinner": "19:00"
  },
  "trackingLevel": "moderate"
}

Step 3: Define Meal Templates

Create ~/openclaw/nutrition/favorites.json:

{
  "quickMeals": [
    {
      "name": "Greek Yogurt Bowl",
      "calories": 350,
      "protein": 25,
      "carbs": 35,
      "fat": 12
    },
    {
      "name": "Chicken Salad",
      "calories": 450,
      "protein": 40,
      "carbs": 20,
      "fat": 22
    },
    {
      "name": "Protein Shake",
      "calories": 250,
      "protein": 30,
      "carbs": 15,
      "fat": 5
    }
  ],
  "restaurants": {
    "Chipotle": {
      "usual": "Chicken Bowl",
      "macros": { "calories": 650, "protein": 50, "carbs": 45, "fat": 20 }
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Create Daily Log Structure

Create ~/openclaw/nutrition/log/template.json:

{
  "date": "",
  "meals": [],
  "totals": {
    "calories": 0,
    "protein": 0,
    "carbs": 0,
    "fat": 0
  },
  "water": 0,
  "notes": ""
}

[photo attached] Log this meal. Estimate macros.

Check progress:

How am I doing today? How much protein do I have left to hit my goal?

Meal suggestion:

I need 40g more protein for dinner but only 400 calories left. What should I eat?

Weekly analysis:

Analyze my nutrition this week. Am I consistently hitting protein? Where am I slipping?

Restaurant help:

Going to Chipotle for lunch. What should I order to stay on track?

Meal prep planning:

Plan my meals for the week. Focus on high protein, moderate carbs. Include a shopping list.
