Fitness, appointments and feeling better · 121 ideasBe my trainer and nutritionist across my watch, food log and scale
An Italian user connected the AI over MCP to three sources of truth — Garmin for activity and recovery, Yazio for food, a FitDays scale for weight and body composition — and gave it a coach's rulebook in CLAUDE.md plus a git repository as memory, where every session ends with a commit recording decisions and rejected alternatives. Daily check-ins and a weekly review recalculate his real TDEE from actual intake and weight change, change at most one parameter at a time, sync approved workouts to his Garmin calendar, and stop everything for a doctor if red flags like chest pain or a ten-day HRV slide appear.

Coach my running from my real Garmin and Strava data
A runner replaced uploading Garmin screenshots into AI with a self-hosted agent on a Mac mini that reads his Garmin data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, VO2 trend, laps) through MCP plus his Strava uploads: it messages him at 8am, designs the day's run and writes it to Garmin Connect, then grades each session against the prescription when it lands on Strava and decides when training load goes up. He hit his sub-20-minute 5K goal about a month later, and it saves him the hour a week he used to spend planning.
