Calorie Tracker

What this skill does

Tracks calories, macros, and weight trends from meal photos, text logs, and nutrition labels. Use when the user logs a meal or a drink, keeps a food diary, asks how many calories something has, wants a calorie or protein target for a cut, bulk, deficit, or maintenance, asks for their TDEE or maintenance calories, counts macros or carbs, reads a food label, asks whether to eat back exercise calories or workout burn, or asks why the scale is stuck, why they are not losing weight, or why it jumped overnight. Covers TDEE calibration from the user's own logs, restaurant, alcohol, and cheat-day estimates, plateaus and water weight, smart-scale body-fat readings, GLP-1 and medical guardrails, and eating disorder safety. Not for meal planning or recipes.

Calorie Tracker is part of the Productivity category — productivity skills for notes, tasks, reminders, and personal organization. You can install it on its own or alongside other productivity skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install Calorie Tracker

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for calories and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Calorie Tracker with a single command:

openclaw skills add calories

This pulls calories from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/calories/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Calorie Tracker

Once installed, Calorie Tracker activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Turning images into video

Calorie Tracker works with images. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — turns stills into motion — pans and transitions, synced captions, and a vertical export for short-form feeds.

It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab calories-1.0.3.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/calories/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
