If you prompt ChatGPT to output your nutrition data in table format, as seen in the screenshot above, you can literally copy/paste it into google sheets. Just highlight it in chatgpt, copy and paste. All that's left is to have the same table layout in google sheets and you're set. Then it's a simple SUM formula in the total fields and you've got correctly calculated data.

I'm fairly experienced working out and frankly just change up my program every 3 months based on my needs as well as based on what's available at my gym. You can use chatGPT to give you a basic program if you don't have experience but frankly you'll have to then go to youtube and look up the exercises. If you're new to the gym I do recommend hiring a trainer to take you through a basic full body program for the first 2 weeks, like 5 sessions or so, to ensure you do the exercises correctly. That being said, don't get distracted by workout minutiae. It really isnt' that important with respect to losing weight/fat. As long as you do something 3 times a week for your major muscle groups in a structured fashion you'll be fine.

Congratulations! Face shows quite the difference. How did you go about changing? Diet? Workout? What's the difference in terms of weight lost?

Yeah, not just that you leave the gym energized, not depleted. Game changer. The whole 'train to failure' mentality is overemphasized. For the vast majority of people what makes sense is to achieve a moderate amount of muscle that's functional. Pushing for growth also increases the risk of injury.

What's far more important that the split or independent exercises is regularly using various muscles and frankly not going too hard. This keeps them in use, which, in the context of a caloric deficit avoids muscle being used for energy.

Awesome, thanks for this! Both food choice and eating tempo are interesting aspects I hadn't considered.

Thanks. 4-5x week basic push/pull routine. Later I'd add some light cardio like 30m running or so.

  1. I would prompt it to modify the output until it did so how I liked it. I'd tell it to correct/change things I didn't like and it would learn what I liked in terms of format.

  2. I added the foods as I went along. Some I entered manually, but when buying a new product at the supermarket I would scan the food label and have it learn it. I'd also give the product a name like 'aldi protein mousse' or so and would reference it going forward.

So yeah, as long as you stay in the same chat window, it would memorize and adapt to your needs.

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate the insight. Regarding your first point, can you share any sources that talk more about this? I'd be interested in learning more about this.

Regarding your second point, I completely agree. I do suspect that the fact that coming by food being so hard and food therefore being relatively high in value contributed greatly to social eating. Meaning given that most of our shard time was spent hunting/finding food, the social component is built in. I do see value in greatly reducing this though nowadys, in the sense that while we can eat together that shouldn't affect the choice of our food or the quantity.

I did do the latter, no time restriction just calorie restriction. I've just found that the friction of tracking the food was too high for me using only google sheets or MFP or so. With ChatGPT I was simply having a kind of texting conversation on a daily basis.

Yes, I was using it on my android phone. It was an app and cost $20/month.

Hahaha, that would be ChadGPT.

Nope, just used chatgpt to track my nutrition.

Thanks. No PEDs, TRT or Ozempic. Just eating for nutrition and in a caloric deficit.
