AI That Knows Your Context

Unlike a generic chatbot, LBN's assistant knows your profile. It knows your calorie target, your macro goals, how much you've eaten today and what your recent patterns look like. This means its advice is contextualised. If you ask "What should I eat for dinner?" it can factor in that you've already had 1,400 of your 2,000 calorie budget and still need 40g of protein. This context-aware approach makes the assistant genuinely useful rather than just a novelty. It's like having a nutrition coach who's looked at your food diary before answering your question.

How to Use the Assistant

1
Open the Assistant — Find the AI Assistant button on your LBN home screen. It's accessible from anywhere in the app with a single tap.
2
Type your question — Ask in plain, natural language. No special syntax needed. Write exactly as you'd ask a friend: "How much protein is in an egg?" or "What should I have for a snack?"
3
Get your answer — The AI responds in seconds with a clear, actionable answer. No waffle, no ads, no scrolling through a blog post to find the answer buried in paragraph seven.
4
Follow up — Continue the conversation if you need more detail. "What about plant-based protein options?" "How should I spread my protein across meals?" The assistant maintains context throughout the conversation.
5
Take action — Use the advice to make better food choices. Log your meals in your food diary, track your macros, and come back with more questions any time.

What the Assistant Won't Do

The LBN Assistant is a knowledgeable nutrition and fitness coach, not a medical professional. It will always be clear about its boundaries:

  • No medical diagnoses — It won't tell you what's causing your symptoms
  • No prescription advice — It won't tell you to take or stop medication
  • No extreme diet promotion — It won't encourage dangerously low calorie targets
  • No replacement for professionals — It will recommend you see a GP, dietitian or specialist when appropriate

This responsible approach means you can trust the advice it does give. It stays in its lane and does that lane extremely well.

Example Questions to Try

Not sure where to start? Here are some popular questions LBN users ask:

  • "I've got chicken, rice and broccoli. How should I cook them for the best macros?"
  • "What are some good snacks under 150 calories?"
  • "How long should I wait to eat after a workout?"
  • "What's the difference between white and brown rice nutritionally?"
  • "I'm vegetarian. How do I get enough protein?"
  • "How do I break through a weight loss plateau?"
Get the Most From Your AI Coach

The more specific your questions, the better the answers. Instead of "What should I eat?" try "I have 600 calories and 35g protein left for dinner. What can I make with chicken and vegetables?" Give context about your dietary preferences, budget, cooking skill level and time constraints. The assistant will tailor its response accordingly. Think of it as a conversation with a coach who gets more helpful the more you share. Pair the assistant's advice with your calorie tracking and macro tracking to put the knowledge into practice.
