Dietitian

What This Skill Does

The Dietitian skill for OpenClaw acts as an intelligent nutritional architect. It leverages evidence-based methodologies—primarily the Mifflin-St Jeor equation—to calculate Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) and establish precise caloric baselines. Beyond simple math, this skill translates raw biological data into structured meal templates, providing macro-nutrient breakdowns for fat loss, muscle gain, and athletic performance. It helps users manage fiber intake, optimize meal timing around exercise, and implement specific diet protocols ranging from Ketogenic to Mediterranean styles.

Installation

To integrate this expert-level nutritional planner into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/dietitian

Ensure you have the latest version of the OpenClaw CLI to access the full repository feature set.

Use Cases

1. Personalized Cut/Bulk Cycles: Users looking to transition from a fat-loss phase to a muscle-building phase can request specific macro shifts based on their current body weight and training intensity.
2. Performance Optimization: Athletes can generate meal plans that prioritize carbohydrate timing around training blocks to ensure glycogen replenishment.
3. Macro Tracking Education: Individuals unfamiliar with IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) can use the skill to learn how to swap high-calorie food items for high-protein or high-volume alternatives without compromising their dietary goals.

Example Prompts

1. "I weigh 85kg and want to lose fat. My activity level is moderate. Calculate my TDEE and give me a target macro breakdown for fat loss."
2. "Create a 2500-calorie muscle gain meal plan for a busy student. I need to keep prep time low and include a pre-workout meal."
3. "I'm trying to follow a Mediterranean diet but want to hit 180g of protein. Can you suggest some food swaps to adjust my current plan?"

Tips & Limitations

• Accuracy Note: Always establish a baseline for at least two weeks before making major adjustments. If your weight doesn't move as predicted, adjust calories by 5-10% rather than making drastic cuts.
• Data Integrity: The skill relies on your input accuracy. For obese individuals, ensure you specify 'lean body mass' when prompted, as using total body weight can lead to overestimations of protein requirements.
• Scope: While excellent for planning, this skill does not replace a clinical consultation. If you have underlying health conditions or metabolic disorders, consult a medical professional alongside these recommendations.
