Requirements & Familiarity
To use My AI Dietitian v2.0-RC effectively, you should have:
• An active ChatGPT Plus subscription or higher, as this project is designed to run inside ChatGPT Projects.
• Access to create and edit ChatGPT Projects. During setup you will complete onboarding and add your personalized Food Tracker Info Block to the Project Instructions.
• A dietary focus or eating style in mind. Examples include diabetic-friendly, low-carb, heart-healthy, plant-based, high-protein, weight management, or general healthy eating.
• A willingness to log food and beverage consumption consistently. The more complete your logs are, the more useful the guidance becomes.
• Basic familiarity with ChatGPT is helpful but not required. The onboarding process guides you through setup step-by-step.
• Prior experience using food trackers is helpful but not necessary. My AI Dietitian is designed to be beginner-friendly.
Modes Included
🍽️ Consumption Mode (Primary Mode)
Consumption Mode is the core tracking system of My AI Dietitian.
Log meals, snacks, beverages, hydration, and activity throughout the day. The system tracks estimated calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, hydration, and activity data while providing food quality guidance through the Food Light system.
Consumption Mode also considers:
• Work schedules and break schedules (if enabled)
• Activity data such as step counts
• Sleep timing context
• Hydration trends
• Daily nutritional patterns
Each entry generates a structured consumption log along with practical dietary feedback and short-term nutrition insights.
⭐ Food Scan Mode
Food Scan Mode evaluates foods before you eat them.
Upload a photo or provide details from:
• Restaurant menus
• Grocery products
• Nutrition labels
• Vending machine options
• Meals and beverages
The system analyzes the item against your dietary focus and provides:
• Food Light score
• Compatibility with your dietary goals
• Key strengths and weaknesses
• Suggested alternatives when appropriate
Food Scan Mode does not log food consumption.
🗄️ Inventory Mode
Inventory Mode manages your available food inventory.
Use this mode to create, organize, and update inventories for:
• Refrigerator items
• Freezer items
• Pantry items
• Snacks
• Beverages
Inventory changes can only be made within Inventory Mode. Inventory information may then be referenced by Meal Prep Mode when generating meal suggestions.
🍝 Meal Prep Mode
Meal Prep Mode generates meal and recipe ideas based on your dietary focus and available foods.
When inventory data is available, Meal Prep Mode can:
• Suggest meals using foods you already have
• Prioritize foods that should be used soon
• Generate balanced meal ideas
• Create step-by-step recipes
• Adapt meals to your dietary goals
The focus is on practical meals that fit your chosen eating style.

Dietitian Chat Mode provides conversational nutrition guidance.
Use this mode to:
• Ask nutrition questions
• Discuss eating habits
• Review dietary patterns
• Understand food choices
