Ugh, ever been super reliant on an app, only to find your favorite feature suddenly locked behind a pesky paywall?
I know, right?! It’s THE worst.
That’s exactly what happened to one Redditor with MyFitnessPal, but it sparked an awesome idea!

So, what if I told you that you could have a personalized food and health coach right in your pocket, custom-built by YOU?
Yep, we’re talking about using ChatGPT to do everything those fancy apps do, maybe even better! 🤯

Why This is a Game-Changer:

This Redditor crafted a prompt that’s been a total game-changer for them, it’s fast, easy, and super helpful. Plus, you get to call the shots!

✅ Personalized: Tailor it to your specific health concerns.
✅ Sustainable Focus: No more diet culture nonsense! It’s all about long-term health.
✅ Detailed Tracking: Get insights on what you eat and how it impacts your goals.

⚙️ How It Works:

The core idea is to give ChatGPT a very specific role and instructions. You tell it:

You’re my personalized food and health coach (specializing in nutrition, focusing on sustainability).

I’ll send you photos/text of my food.

Here are my health concerns: [Your Concern 1], [Your Concern 2], etc.

After each entry, tell me:

1. What I just ate (for confirmation).

2. My daily totals for [Macro 1], [Macro 2], [Macro 3] (or whatever data you find important).

3. Coaching & recommendations (practical, science-backed).

💡 Key Things to Tell Your ChatGPT Coach:

The prompt also includes important guidelines like:

  • Reset daily: Start fresh each day when you give it a new date.

  • Entry-by-entry: Respond to each food log, don’t just summarize unless asked.

  • Ask questions: If it’s unsure about something you log, it should ask! If you can’t answer, it should assume the least healthy option (smart!).

  • Stay focused: Help you stick to your goals and guide you away from unhelpful patterns.

🚀 Getting Started:

The Redditor kicks off each day by telling ChatGPT something like, "Good Morning, it’s May 7th. I’ve had my regular morning coffee." Easy peasy!

✍️ My Take:

I absolutely LOVE this! It’s such a smart way to leverage AI for personal health without getting bogged down by app subscriptions or limitations. You get to design your own nutritionist, how cool is that?! This is seriously empowering and a fantastic way to take control of your health journey.
