Schedule a supplement in your diet plan

You take whey post-workout and creatine in the morning — every day, in the right dose. You're tired of typing it. You tell the agent to add both to the plan with their timing, and from then on the daily log fills in with the planned dose unless you say otherwise.

What the agent needs to hear

Behind your sentence, the agent works backwards to four pieces: the supplement, the dose, the timing — morning, post-workout, with-meal-X, evening — and (optionally) the linked meal if the timing is meal-attached. The active diet plan is implicit context; if you have several plans, name the one you mean.

« Whey post-workout 30 g » carries the supplement, dose, and timing in one breath. « Magnesium 400 mg with dinner » adds the meal link. The agent renders the new schedule on a preview card and waits for a nod before saving.

Timing options

Timing is the axis that does the most work. Time-of-day anchors to a clock window: « morning », « evening », « 3 pm ». Workout-anchored ties to your session: « pre-workout », « post-workout ». Meal-linked attaches the supplement to a named slot — « with breakfast », « after dinner » — so the daily log treats it as one composite confirmation. Frequency defaults to every day on the plan; override with « only on training days » or « three times a week ».

Dose follows the same units as ad-hoc supplement logs: « 30 g », « 2 capsules », « 400 mg ». The unit sticks and pre-fills every daily log.

Scheduled vs ad-hoc supplements

Scheduled supplements show up in your daily card with prescribed doses already filled in. When you confirm taking one — « took my whey » — the dose pre-fills from the schedule, so you don’t retype 30 g every day. Adherence reads against the schedule: taken supplements count as compliant, missed ones as non-compliant for the day.

Ad-hoc supplements still log normally; they just don’t roll into the protocol adherence layer. The deciding question: is this a daily thing or a one-off? Daily → schedule. One-off → just log when you take it.

When the agent gets it wrong

The preview card is the place to catch this. Three failure modes show up most often. Timing parsed wrong — « post-workout, not pre-workout » — flip it in one sentence. Dose off by a magnitude — « 30 g whey, not 300 g — typo on the card » — call out the correct number and the agent overwrites. The schedule attached to the wrong plan — you have maintenance and cut plans saved, and the agent picked the active one when you meant the other — name the target: « put this on the cut plan, not maintenance ».

To remove a supplement later, the same plain-language path works: « drop creatine from the plan ».

What makes the scheduled supplement worth setting

Three things decide whether scheduling beats ad-hoc logging:

• the supplement is daily or near-daily — a once-a-week supplement isn’t worth scheduling; the schedule reads it as non-compliant most days and skews your adherence number
• the dose is consistent — a creatine you sometimes take 5 g of and sometimes 10 g of doesn’t fit a schedule, log it ad-hoc
• the timing is anchored to a repeatable moment — « morning fasted » or « post-workout » beats « sometime in the day », the anchor is what makes the daily log fast

A scheduled supplement turns a recurring daily-log line into a one-tap confirmation — the dose, the timing, and the unit already in place.
