Track meals, calories and macros in chat
Two users report tracking meals, calories and macros by messaging Muse instead of using a dedicated food app: @jkcraw shares a setup prompt and @VCinTown describes photo-based logging over WhatsApp. This page adapts that routine into a setup you can check.
What you can get
- Prepare
Your weight, height, age, training days and goal
- Ask and review
Write down the facts you'd give: weight, height, age, training days per week and your goal.
- Check the result
A running log of meals against targets you confirmed, plus charts on request; not medical or dietary advice.
The source case
@jkcraw reports deleting their food tracking app and now telling Muse what they eat; by their account it looks up every nutrition label, tracks nutrition against targets and charts progress in chat. They say setup takes 2 minutes and share a full prompt in the post. A second user, @VCinTown, reports giving Muse access to Whoop and Apple Health and their finances and fitness goals, after which it built a calorie tracker and a financial tracker, updated through WhatsApp photos of meals and receipts, after a few days of use. Neither post shows a log, chart or output.

From the source
Source excerpt
I deleted my food tracking app. Now I just tell @Muse what I eat. It looks up every nutrition label, tracks my calories and macros against my targets, and charts my progress — all in chat.
Source excerpt
The best part is its WhatsApp integration: I simply send pictures of my meals (with a quick note when needed) and receipts for purchases.

What you need
You supply
- Your weight, height, age, training days and goal
- A way to message the agent about meals (text, voice or photos of food and labels)
- Targets you have confirmed yourself or with a professional
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Write down the facts you'd give: weight, height, age, training days per week and your goal.
- Ask the agent to propose targets and show its working; confirm or change them yourself, or check them with a professional.
- Log meals as you eat them, in plain words, a photo of the food or a photo of the label.
- Check a few entries against the label yourself; ask the agent to say when it estimated.
- Ask for a daily, weekly or monthly summary or chart when you want one.
- Adjust targets as your goal or weight changes.
How @jkcraw describes it
@jkcraw writes that they "deleted my food tracking app" and now tell Muse what they eat. Their prompt asks for weight, height, age, training days and goal, estimates maintenance calories with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, proposes targets for them to confirm and then logs each meal with the item's nutrition values and a running total.
It also tells the agent to look up the exact label rather than guess, to log by the time of eating, to accept photos of food or labels, and to "Keep every reply short".
A second account, with more connected
@VCinTown says they first tried Muse as a work tool, and that things improved after switching to personal use. They connected Whoop and Apple Health, supplied finances and fitness goals, and say it built a calorie tracker that "checks whether I’m meeting my goals".
They log by sending meal photos on WhatsApp. It had been only a few days when they posted, and the post shows no output.
Open Muse to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- No logs, charts or accuracy checks are shown in either post.
- The targets come from a formula named in the prompt (Mifflin-St Jeor) and general ratios; they are not personal medical advice.
- @VCinTown's setup also used Whoop, Apple Health and WhatsApp, which the other post does not mention.
- @VCinTown reports only a few days of use.
- This is an attributed community report, not reproduced by this guide. The suggested workflow and checks are editorial guidance, not a recovered conversation or guaranteed product capability.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- A logged item looks wrong
- Ask where the numbers came from and compare with the label or food database yourself.
- Meals land on the wrong day
- Tell the agent to log by when you ate, and give a time if you message late.
Common questions
Can Muse track what I eat?
Two users report doing it by chat. This guide has not reproduced it, and neither post shows a log.
Does it look up nutrition labels?
The prompt in @jkcraw's post instructs it to, and they say it does. The post does not show examples.
Are the calorie targets reliable?
They come from a general formula and ratios in the prompt. Treat them as a starting point you confirm, not medical advice.
