What should I say to my AI assistant to log workouts and food?

Say it the way you'd text a friend, with the numbers that matter: the exercise, weight, sets and reps for lifting; the time or distance for cardio; and what and how much you ate for food. For example: "Squats, 3 sets of 5 at 225", "Ran 5k in 28 minutes" or "Two eggs and a slice of toast for breakfast." Short and specific beats long and vague.

Lifting

• “Squats, 3 sets of 5 at 225.”
• “Bench 185 for 5, 5 and 4.”
• “Warm-ups at 95 and 135, then 3 sets of 8 at 155 on overhead press.”
• “Pull-ups, 4 sets of 6, bodyweight.”
• “Same workout as last Tuesday, but add 5 pounds to every lift.”

Cardio and classes

• “Ran 5k this morning, about 28 minutes.”
• “40 minute easy bike ride.”
• “45 minute yoga class.”
• “Walked 3 miles at lunch.”

Food

• “Two eggs and toast for breakfast.”
• “Chicken burrito bowl for lunch, about 650 calories.”
• “Here’s the label: 1 serving, 250 calories, 20 g protein. I had 2.”
• “Yesterday’s dinner was salmon, rice and broccoli. Log it for yesterday.”

Asking about your history

• “What did I squat last week?”
• “How far did I run this month?”
• “How much protein have I had today?”
• “Plan tomorrow’s workout based on this week.”
