I created a Health Related Cowork folder and asked Claude to make a skill that tracks diet and medical metrics against goals in a spreadsheet. With Dispatch on my phone, I can say what I ate; Claude finds nutrition info, decomposes it into protein, fat, carbs, calories, logs it, summarizes the day, and advises how to use the remaining calorie/protein targets.

Log Meals by Dispatch and Let Cowork Update a Nutrition Spreadsheet
The author created a health folder, spreadsheet, and skill in Cowork. From mobile Dispatch, a meal description becomes nutrition lookup, macro breakdown, spreadsheet rows, and advice against the day's remaining targets.

Uses Cowork and Dispatch for nutrition, weight, and blood-pressure tracking
📋
Scenario
A high-protein diet needs consistent calorie and macro tracking. The author wanted natural-language logging and the ability to include weight and blood-pressure metrics in the same system.
💬
Prompt
Create a health tracking skill and spreadsheet. When I describe a meal through Dispatch, identify the food items, estimate calories, protein, fat, and carbs from web nutrition data, append the rows to my Daily Log, summarize today's totals against my targets, and suggest how to hit the remaining protein/calorie goals. Also log weight and blood-pressure metrics when I provide them.
✨
Expected Result
Cowork turns one spoken meal description into structured food rows, calculates calorie/protein/fat/carb progress, advises how to use the remaining targets, and logs weight or blood pressure in the same health system.
