# Food Tracking
Manage food items and daily food log entries in MongoDB (`lists.food_items`, `lists.food_log`).
## Scripts
Both scripts are standalone Python CLIs. Run with `uv run --with pymongo`:
### food_items.py — `lists.food_items`
Reference item catalog: what foods exist, their nutrition, serving sizes, etc.
```bash
# Path relative to skill directory
SCRIPT="skills/food-tracking/scripts/food_items.py"
# Add a new food item
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" add \
--name "Kefir Oats" \
--type food \
--serving "1.5 cups" \
--description "Whole milk kefir with old-fashioned rolled oats" \
--nutrition '{"calories": 228, "protein_g": 12.1, "fat_g": 7.0, "carbs_g": 30.1, "fiber_g": 3.5, "sugar_g": 6.3}'
# Add a medicine
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" add \
--name "Excedrin Migraine" \
--type medicine \
--max-dosage "2 caplets"
# Add with arbitrary extra fields via JSON
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" add \
--name "Chicken Breast" \
--type food \
--serving "4 oz" \
--nutrition '{"calories": 187, "protein_g": 35, "fat_g": 4, "carbs_g": 0}' \
--extra '{"recipe_notes": "grilled, no oil"}'
# Get all items
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" get
# Filter by type
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" get --type food
# Search by name
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" get --name "kefir"
# Update an item by name
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" update --name "Kefir Oats" --set-serving "2 cups"
# Update an item by _id
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" update --id "6a11b0c3..." --set-nutrition '{"calories": 300, "protein_g": 15, "fat_g": 9, "carbs_g": 40}'
# Unset a field
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" update --name "Excedrin Migraine" --unset max_dosage
# Merge arbitrary fields
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" update --name "Chicken Breast" --set-extra '{"tags": ["dinner", "high-protein"]}'
```
### food_log.py — `lists.food_log`
Daily consumption log: what was eaten, when, and how much.
```bash
SCRIPT="skills/food-tracking/scripts/food_log.py"
# Log a food entry
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" add --name "Kefir Oats" --type food --amount 1 --unit "serving"
# Log a medicine
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" add --name "Excedrin Migraine" --type medicine --amount 1 --unit "caplet"
# Log with extra fields
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" add --name "Coffee" --type food --amount 2 --unit "cups" --extra '{"caffeine_mg": 200}'
# Get today's log
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" get --today
# Get last 7 days
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" get --days 7
# Filter by name or type
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" get --name "Excedrin"
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" get --type medicine
# Update an entry (requires --id from a previous get)
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" update --id "6a11a937..." --set-amount 2 --set-unit "caplets"
# Unset a field
uv run --with pymongo "$SCRIPT" update --id "6a11a937..." --unset unit
```
## Workflow Notes
- When logging food, the assistant should run `food_items.py get --name <item>` first to confirm the item exists and show its nutrition info.
- For new foods not in the catalog, add the item first, then log it.
- Always present nutrition info back to the user when logging food (pull from `food_items` so the user sees the macros).
- When searching the internet for nutrition facts, use USDA FoodData Central as the source, then store the result as a food item.
- The `--extra` flag on both scripts accepts arbitrary JSON, useful for fields not covered by named flags (e.g., recipe details, tags, notes).
