calculate_tdee
Calculate TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure), BMR, and personalised daily macro targets (protein, carbs, fat) based on the user's stats and goal. Use this when someone asks how many calories they should eat, what their maintenance calories are, or how to set up their macros.
lookup_nutrition
Look up the full nutritional profile (calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre, and key micronutrients) for any food by name and serving size. Use this when someone asks about the nutrition or macros in a specific food.
generate_meal_plan
Generate a full day meal plan (breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner) tailored to the user's calorie goal, dietary preference, and fitness goal. Use this when someone asks for a meal plan, what to eat for a goal, or how to structure their diet.
fix_deficiency
Get a detailed action plan to fix a specific nutritional deficiency — including the best foods to eat (with serving sizes), foods to avoid, supplement advice, and deficiency symptoms. Use this when someone asks how to increase a specific nutrient, what to eat for a deficiency, or what causes low levels of a nutrient.
nutrition_score
Calculate a nutrition quality score (0–100) for a day's eating based on macros and optional micronutrient data. Returns a breakdown by category, a letter grade, and actionable recommendations. Use this when someone wants to rate their diet, check if they're eating well, or get feedback on a day's meals.
