As a Thai foodie, I've finally found my savior on the weight-loss journey!
To be honest, I've always thought the terms "healthy eating" and "Thai food" were contradictory. That layer of oil on Tom Yum Kung, the coconut milk in green curry, and the crispy pork skin served with rice... Every time I swear to lose weight, the next day my mom's Pad Thai would break my resolve 😭. Not to mention the complicated calorie calculations, TDEE, macronutrients — they all gave me a headache.
Until I discovered this skill called Nutritionist Pro, and I was like, "Whoa!" It's not one of those generic diet tips; it's a meal planning assistant specially tailored for Thai people. How to put it? It feels like having a nutritionist who knows Thai cuisine sitting right beside you, guiding you through your daily meals step by step.
What exactly can it do?
Simply put, you just tell it your gender, age, weight, height, daily activity level, and pick a goal (like fat loss, muscle gain, weight maintenance...). Then it magically generates a complete 7-day meal plan for you! And the best part? It calculates the calories, protein, carbs, and fat for each meal, even gives you a shopping list sorted by different stores (e.g., what to buy at Makro, what to get at Big C), and even schedules your meal prep time — just spend one day on the weekend prep, and you're set for the next five days. For a lazy person like me, that's incredibly thoughtful!
The page also highlights an example: a 1,500 kcal/day fat loss plan targeting a 30-year-old Thai woman trying to lose weight. I tried it with my own data and found the generated menu was very down-to-earth: breakfast was Thai-style fried egg with brown rice, lunch was grilled chicken breast with green papaya salad, and dinner was steamed fish with vegetable soup. Calories were strictly controlled, but flavor was definitely not sacrificed!
Not just fat loss — other goals are also well arranged
- Bulking: For gym-goers who want to build muscle. Calorie range is 2,500–3,500 kcal, with more high-protein foods.
- Diabetic-friendly: For pre-diabetics or those with diabetes, with lower GI foods to avoid blood sugar spikes.
- Vegetarian/Vegan: Designed for plant-based eaters, ensuring adequate protein sources.
- Keto/Low-Carb: For those wanting rapid fat burning, with very low carbs and high fat ratio.
- Weight Maintenance: For those who don't want to gain or lose, just maintain the current state.
Pretty cool, right? People with different needs can find a suitable plan.
Some tips during use
I've tried it a few times and found that the more accurate the information you input, the more reliable the generated plan. Especially the activity level — don't exaggerate! If you're a couch potato but select "highly active," you'll get more calories than needed and won't lose weight. Also, if you have food allergies or religious restrictions (e.g., shrimp allergy, need halal food), make sure to specify them in the prompts. It will automatically avoid those ingredients, otherwise the generated menu might be inedible for you.
Additionally, this skill can be paired with another skill called /fitness-trainer-pro — a personal trainer. Combining diet and exercise is definitely more effective than going it alone. The page also recommends /coach-pro for a health coach to track progress, and /doctor-helper for medical professionals to check drug-nutrient interactions. You can mix and match based on your needs.
Important disclaimer
Even though this tool is powerful, it is not medical advice. The page clearly states: it cannot replace a professional nutritionist or doctor, nor can it treat diseases. If you have the following conditions, be sure to consult a doctor or licensed nutritionist before use:
- Chronic diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, etc.)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- History of eating disorders
- Under 18 or over 65 years old
I think this reminder is spot on. After all, everyone's body is different. AI can provide generally applicable plans, but true personalization requires professional input. So treat it as a very convenient starting tool, but final decisions should still be based on real-life conditions.
How to install and use
This skill is based on the Claude Code Skill system, so you need to have a Claude Code environment first. The installation command is simple:
npx skills add [repository URL] --skill nutritionist-proAfter successful installation, type /nutritionist-pro in the conversation to launch it. Then just follow the prompts and fill in your information step by step. The whole process takes just a few minutes — much faster than manually calculating calories and planning your own menu.
If you don't want to install it, you can also try it directly on the web (there's a run button in the top-right corner of the page). But personally, I find installation more convenient because you can call it up anytime.
Final ramblings
To be honest, there are tons of diet tools online nowadays, but most are Western-oriented. The generated menus are all about chicken breast, avocado, quinoa, etc., which don't appeal to Thai people at all. But Nutritionist Pro really understands us Thais! The menus it generates include Tom Yum Kung, green curry, Pad Thai — but all optimized for calorie reduction, allowing me to enjoy my meals even while losing weight. I hope more such localized tools will emerge in the future. After all, "You need to eat well to have the strength to lose weight" is a true saying in Thailand, haha 🤣.
Alright, I'm off to prepare next week's groceries according to its meal prep plan. If you're also struggling on your weight-loss journey, give this tool a try — you might be pleasantly surprised! 😊
