Medical Disclaimer

1.0 Educational Purpose Only

All content and calculators provided by CalorieFig—including BMR, TDEE, BMI, macro, calorie deficit, and weight loss tools—are intended solely for general education and informational purposes. Our tools help you understand common nutrition and fitness concepts, such as how basal metabolic rate is estimated or how a calorie deficit works.

The information presented should not be used as a replacement for professional medical evaluation, personalized nutrition counseling, or a registered dietitian's guidance.

2.0 Not Medical Advice

Nothing on this Site constitutes medical advice, nutritional advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The calculators generate estimates based on generalized formulas (such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation) and the inputs you provide. They cannot account for your unique medical history, current health conditions, medications, or specific dietary needs.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on CalorieFig. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or emergency services immediately.

3.0 Accuracy of Calculations

While we use widely recognized formulas and strive to keep our calculators accurate, the results are estimates, not precise measurements. The accuracy of any calculator depends on:

• The correctness and completeness of the inputs you provide.
• The limitations of the underlying formula (e.g., Mifflin-St Jeor has an estimated accuracy of roughly 80–90% for the general population).
• Individual biological factors that formulas cannot fully capture.

We do not guarantee that any result is accurate, complete, or applicable to your specific situation. Always use your judgment and consult a professional when making decisions about your health.

4.0 Individual Variations

Every person is different. Calorie needs, metabolic rate, and body composition are influenced by many factors that a simple formula cannot fully reflect, including:

• Genetics and family history
• Muscle mass and body composition
• Hormonal conditions (such as thyroid disorders)
• Medications that affect metabolism or appetite
• Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or recovery from illness
• Age, sex, and ethnic background

As a result, two people with identical inputs may have very different real-world needs. Use calculator output as a starting point, not a definitive answer.

5.0 When to Consult a Professional

We strongly encourage you to speak with a qualified healthcare provider, registered dietitian, or licensed nutritionist before making significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, or weight management plan. You should consult a professional especially if you:

• Have a chronic condition such as diabetes, heart disease, or an eating disorder.
• Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy.
• Are an adolescent whose body is still developing.
• Take medications that affect weight, appetite, or metabolism.
• Have a history of disordered eating.
• Experience rapid, unintended weight loss or gain.

6.0 Emergency Situations

CalorieFig is not an emergency resource. If you experience a medical emergency—such as chest pain, severe dizziness, fainting, difficulty breathing, or thoughts of self-harm—call your local emergency number immediately (such as 911 in the United States). Do not rely on this Site for urgent medical assistance.

7.0 Assumption of Risk

By using CalorieFig, you acknowledge that you do so voluntarily and assume all risks associated with any actions you take based on the information or calculator results provided. CalorieFig is not responsible for any health outcomes, injuries, or damages arising from your use of the Site. See our Terms of Service for further details.

8.0 Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this Medical Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
