What does the record say about a day when you ate very little?
The amount, and nothing else. A very small day is recorded the same way as a large one: the meals with their items, the source on each item, the total, and the distance to whatever targets you set. There is no message about it, no colour, no mark on the week, and no comparison with yesterday. The rule is written into the product rather than left to taste: a record never congratulates a low total and never ranks days.
That rule is not conditional on the size of the day, and this page makes no claim about what any treatment does to what you eat. What the record is for is showing what actually went in, so that you and the people treating you can look at it. What the assistant you connect says around the figures is its own; IZeat's own replies carry no remark of that kind.
The same silence works the other way. A day that goes past a target says "over target" in the same type and colour as a day that does not reach one, and a day when food was difficult and little was recorded is a gap in the week rather than a zero dragging an average down. Nothing in the product notices a pattern, and nothing raises it with you.
Who sets the numbers on a prescribed treatment?
Not IZeat, and not this page. On a prescribed treatment, any calorie or protein figure worth aiming at is a clinical decision, and it belongs to the people looking after you: the prescriber, and the dietitian or the rest of the team where there is one. It changes as the treatment does. IZeat holds no reference figure of its own, computes nothing, and has no view about whether a target is high or low.
What it does instead is store what you were told, with the date it started. Say it in the conversation, the calorie and protein figures you were given, from the day they start, and the reply states the target as stored; change it after an appointment and the new one is dated from the day you name, with the old one kept in the history. Every day is read against the target in force that day.
| The question | Who answers it | What IZeat does |
|---|---|---|
| How many calories a day | The people treating you | Stores the figure you give, dated |
| How much protein | The same | Stores it; a protein target alone is enough |
| Whether today was too low | Not a question the record takes | Records the day and says nothing |
| What to eat next | You, within what the people treating you have set; your assistant if you ask it | Shows what is left; proposes nothing |
| Whether to keep tracking at all | You, with the people treating you | Exports the record as CSV or JSON, with one download for each format; deletes the account when you ask |
Bottom line: the clinical figures belong to the people treating you; the record only has to be inspectable, with its estimates visible.
IZeat is the calorie tracker inside ChatGPT, Claude or any other assistant. Tell the assistant you already use what you ate instead of searching for foods and entering them one by one. A Tuesday, with a protein target given at an appointment and no calorie target set.
- 08:30 — "Half a pot of Greek yoghurt, about 75 g, and a few blueberries."
- 12:30 — "A third of a chicken sandwich, and that was all I wanted." Recorded as an estimate with the share stated.
- 15:00 — "A protein shake, half the scoop, 15 g, in 200 ml of milk."
- 18:00 — "How much protein is left?" The read gives the day's totals and the grams of protein still to go, with no comment on either.
- 20:00 — "Two spoons of soup, maybe 60 ml." Added to the evening rather than opening a new meal.
Five sentences, four small meals. The yoghurt and the milk are reference values for what you said, the shake comes from its label, the sandwich and the soup are estimates with their shares written into them. The receipt after each one names what was recorded and the day so far; none of them remarks on the size of the meal, because none of them ever does.
Said plainly: IZeat is a food record. It is not medical advice and not a substitute for anyone qualified. It does not know you are on a treatment, holds no weight and no measurements, gives no advice, and cannot tell you whether a day was enough. If a question about intake is worrying you, it belongs with the people looking after you rather than with a diary, and the record is what you can bring to that conversation.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions people type, each one sourced above.
Will the app tell me I ate too little?
No, on any day and by rule. IZeat never comments on how much was eaten: there is no message for a low total, no colour for a total, since red is kept for a data problem, no streak, no ranking of one day against another and no verdict on a week. It records the meals, keeps the source on each item, and reports the distance to whatever targets you set. Whether a day was enough is a question for the people treating you.
What target should I set on this treatment?
The one you were given. IZeat holds no reference figure of its own and computes nothing, so it has nothing to offer here; on a prescribed treatment those figures belong to the people looking after you, the prescriber and the dietitian or team where there is one, and they change as the treatment does. Say the figure in the conversation and it is stored from the day you name, with the earlier ones kept in the history.
Can I track protein without tracking calories?
Yes. A target can carry calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat, and any one of them alone is a complete target. With protein only, every read of the day says how many grams are left of it, and the calories are still recorded and shown as a total, with no remainder since none was set. Setting protein alone is a supported shape, and nothing in the product pushes you to set more.
Is IZeat a medical product?
No. It records food you describe and compares it to targets you set: it is not medical advice and not a substitute for anyone qualified. It does not diagnose, treat or tell you what to eat, and it holds no weight, measurements or clinical data. If you are on a prescribed treatment, everything clinical belongs with the people looking after you. What a record can add is an inspectable account of what was recorded, with the estimates visible, which is often easier to bring to an appointment than a memory.
Can I show the record to my clinician?
Yes, and nothing has to be prepared first: the web app shows any day or week on screen, targets included, and the account page exports the whole record as CSV or JSON, with one download for each format. What matters at an appointment is that the estimated rows are visible as estimates, so a portion nobody weighed is never read as a weighed one.
