You ask ChatGPT how many calories you should eat, it gives you a number, and you follow it. It sounds scientific. It feels like you're doing something right. But here's what nobody's telling you: the formula ChatGPT uses doesn't know your hormones, your thyroid, your stress, your sleep, your diet history, or how well your body actually converts food into fuel. It uses four variables to calculate a number that should require at least twelve. And then there's the other problem — ChatGPT is trained to agree with you. If you've been going down a low-carb path, it's going to hand you a low-carb plan. Not because it's right for you. Because it's designed to mirror back what you already believe. In this episode, Stephanie breaks down exactly why AI-generated calorie and macro calculations miss the mark for women in perimenopause and beyond — and shares what she found when she put ChatGPT's meal plan directly into MyFitnessPal. 🧠 Not Sure Where to Start?
