Nutrition Glossary
Nutrition concepts users track in PepTalk Peptides
A neutral catalog of macros, micros, eating patterns, and hydration concepts users log inside PepTalk Peptides.
PepTalk Peptides's Nutrition tab supports macro tracking, calorie counting, intuitive eating, and a long list of common eating patterns — keto, paleo, Mediterranean, DASH, vegan, vegetarian, intermittent fasting, time-restricted feeding, and more. This glossary catalogs each concept users log, the fields the journal captures, and where the entry surfaces inside the app.
Every entry here is descriptive, not prescriptive. We do not tell anyone what to eat, what to avoid, or what to target. We tell users what FIELDS their journal records, and we let them and their clinician work out the rest.
If you're starting fresh, the simplest path is: open the Nutrition tab, log one meal, see how the journal feels, then build the habit. The categories below are just shortcuts to the kinds of entries the app already supports.
Aimee, PepTalk Peptides's in-app AI character, can draft meal templates from your macro targets and your past logs — she does not prescribe targets. See the Aimee page for what she will and will not do.

Frequently asked questions
Can I track macros and intuitive eating at the same time?+
Yes. PepTalk Peptides supports both. You can run a strict macro-tracking week, switch to a pure intuitive-eating month, or blend the two — the journal adapts.
Does PepTalk Peptides recommend a diet?+
No. PepTalk Peptides documents what users journal across many eating patterns. It does not endorse any single one.
Where do my nutrition trends show up?+
Daily totals appear in the Dashboard, and rolling weekly/monthly summary cards surface trends. PepTalk Peptides Pro adds richer chart views.
Is this medical or dietary advice?+
PepTalk Peptides is a journaling tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose, or treat any condition. Consult your healthcare provider before starting, changing, or stopping any protocol.
