What stays the same whatever you eat?
The record. Every item carries calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat, with the source of those figures beside it, and a day is the list with its total. There is no mode for a diet, no list of allowed foods, no compliance score and no adjusted figure: the product does not know how you eat and would do nothing differently if it did.
The neutrality stays too. Over and under a target are written the same way, nothing turns red because you ate, no total is congratulated, and a day with nothing recorded is a gap in the week rather than a zero.
So a page in this pillar is never a version of IZeat. It is the same record, read by someone with a particular question.
What actually changes from one situation to another?
Three things, and they are the reason these pages exist at all rather than one page saying "it works for everyone".
| What changes | What it looks like | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Which figure you watch | A target can carry calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat, or any one of them alone | A carbohydrate target by itself on a low-carb day |
| The question before the record | The assistant asks what your words leave open, and the open part differs | The cooking fat on a plate of three foods; the share of a pot in a shared kitchen |
| Who sets the number | IZeat stores the target you give it, dated, and computes none | On a prescribed treatment, the figure belongs to the people treating you |
Bottom line: the record is the same; what differs is which figure you read and who chose it.
One limit worth stating once for the whole pillar: IZeat records no fibre, so it computes no net carbs; and it records no exercise, no burn and no weight, so it never adds calories back for a training day.
Where does a food record stop being the right tool?
Wherever the number is a clinical decision. On a prescribed treatment, during a pregnancy, after surgery, the figures belong to the people looking after you, and IZeat publishes none of its own: it stores what you were told, with the date it started, and shows the distance to it.
Those pages are written to say what the product does and does not do, and to send every other question to a qualified person. They are not diet advice and they are not a specialised service.
One boundary is a rule rather than a judgement: an IZeat account belongs to one person of eighteen or over, so there is nothing here for a younger person's day, and no supported second profile, shared diary or delegated-logging workflow for anyone else's.
How should you read the pages below?
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. Every page below shows that on one real day, with the questions the assistant asks before it records anything.
Each one carries something the others do not, or it would not be written: a page that only repeated the rules above was merged or dropped rather than published. Two situations that turned out to be the same page are now one.
And each ends with what the record cannot tell you, which is usually the most useful paragraph on it.
Eating for training
A target above maintenance, a target below it, and a week whose expenditure never repeats.
A way of eating with its own rules
Where the grams hide, what a short list of foods concentrates, and when the day begins.
When the number is somebody else's to set
A prescribed treatment, a pregnancy, life after surgery: what a record holds, and what belongs with the people treating you.
More than one person in the kitchen
One account is one person: what that means for a shared pot, and for a parent asking about a teenager.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a version of IZeat for my diet?
No, and that is deliberate. There is no mode to switch on, no list of allowed foods and no compliance score; the record holds the same four figures whatever you eat. What differs from one way of eating to another is which figure you set a target for and which question the assistant has to ask before it can record a plate, and the pages below work through both.
Does IZeat track net carbs?
No. Each item carries calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat, and no fibre, so there is nothing to subtract from and no net-carb target to set. What is recorded is the carbohydrate a label or a reference table declares. If you count in net carbs the subtraction happens outside the record, and putting the result in the carbohydrate field would make that field mean something other than it does everywhere else.
Does it add calories back for a workout?
Never. IZeat records food and holds no exercise entry, no calories-burned figure and no connection to a watch or a strap, so a training day never gets anything added back. If you want to eat more on a long day, that is a target you set for that day, dated, and the record compares the day to it like any other.
Can two people share an account?
No. An account is one person's food, read by them, with their own targets and their own time zone, and there is no family plan, no supported second profile, shared diary or delegated-logging workflow. Two adults who both want a record keep two accounts, and what they share is the cooking rather than the diary.
