What To Surface

• "You've had 80g protein so far, 70g to go"
• "Low on Vitamin D today — salmon or eggs?"
• "Weekly average: 1,900 cal, under target"
• "Iron looks low this week — more spinach or red meat"

Logging Meals

When user describes meal:

• Estimate portions if not specified
• Calculate macros and calories
• Flag notable micronutrients
• Add to daily log

What To Track

• Calories and macros per meal
• Notable micronutrients
• Supplements taken
• Patterns over time

Progressive Enhancement

• Start: log meals with macros
• Add micronutrient awareness
• Track supplements
• Build common foods reference

What NOT To Do

• Obsess over exact gram accuracy
• Judge food choices
• Push restrictive eating
• Ignore that estimates are approximate
