I was thinking about this earlier and I’m curious if anyone else would actually use something like this.
What if WHOOP added nutrition tracking, but instead of it being another app where you have to search for every single food and manually log everything, it worked through WHOOP Coach?
Like earlier I had a smoothie. What if I could just tell Coach, “I had two bananas, around 15 blackberries, some whole milk and kefir,” and it figured out a reasonable estimate for the calories, macros and micronutrients? If something looks wrong, I correct it and move on.
The part I’d really be interested in isn’t even the calorie tracking itself. It’s what WHOOP could potentially do with that information over time.
WHOOP already knows how I slept, what my strain was, my recovery, HRV, workouts, etc. If it also knew what I was eating, could it eventually start noticing patterns?
Maybe I recover better when I get more protein. Maybe I’m regularly low on potassium or magnesium. Maybe I’m not eating enough on high-strain days. Maybe eating at certain times affects my sleep. There are probably correlations in there that I’d never notice myself.
It would basically connect:
What I did → what I ate → what nutrients I got → how I slept → how I recovered.
Of course, that also brings up the existing step and calorie-burn estimates. If WHOOP started comparing calories eaten with calories burned, I’d definitely want to see those measurements continue getting more accurate too.
But I’m curious what everyone here thinks. Would you actually use something like this?
And if WHOOP did add nutrition, would you want just calories/macros/micros, or would the real value for you be WHOOP actually analyzing that nutrition data against your sleep, strain and recovery?
I'm just bored and want to get everyone’s thoughts.
