Please read this disclaimer carefully before using our calorie calculator and the information provided on this website.
Last updated: June 2026. The information and tools provided by Calorie Calculator are intended for general informational and educational purposes only. By using our website and its tools, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to the terms set out in this disclaimer. If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, please refrain from using our website.
The content and tools on this website, including the calorie calculator, are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The calorie estimates, nutritional guidance and educational articles we provide are general in nature and may not be appropriate for your individual circumstances. Always seek the advice of your physician, a registered dietitian, or another qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, your diet, or before beginning any nutrition or weight management program. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.
If you have, or suspect you may have, a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, an eating disorder, or any other chronic illness, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not make changes to your diet based on our calculator without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional. The calorie targets produced by our tool do not account for medical conditions, medications, or other individual factors that can significantly affect your nutritional needs. Reliance on any information provided by this website is solely at your own risk.
The fitness and nutrition information on this website is provided for general educational purposes and is not tailored to any individual's specific health status, fitness level or goals. Before starting any exercise program, weight loss plan, muscle building regimen, or making significant changes to your physical activity, you should consult with a qualified healthcare professional or certified fitness expert. Physical exercise and dietary changes carry inherent risks, and what is appropriate for one person may be unsuitable or even harmful for another.
You are responsible for exercising within your own limits and listening to your body. If you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms while following a nutrition or exercise plan, you should stop immediately and seek medical attention. Calorie Calculator does not assume any responsibility for injuries, health complications or adverse outcomes that may result from following general information found on this website. The decision to act on any information provided here is yours alone, and you assume full responsibility for that decision.
The calorie calculator on this website uses established scientific formulas, specifically the Mifflin–St Jeor and Harris–Benedict equations, to estimate your energy needs. While these formulas are widely used and respected, they produce estimates, not exact measurements. Human metabolism is influenced by a wide range of factors that no predictive equation can fully capture, including genetics, hormone levels, body composition, muscle mass, medical conditions, medications, sleep, stress and more. As a result, your actual calorie needs may differ, sometimes significantly, from the figures our tool provides.
The results should therefore be treated as a starting point for your own informed decision-making rather than a precise prescription. We strongly recommend monitoring your real-world results over a period of weeks and adjusting your intake accordingly. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability or suitability of the information and calculations provided. We also do not guarantee any particular outcome, such as a specific amount of weight loss or muscle gain, as individual results vary based on countless personal factors and on consistent adherence to a plan.
While we make reasonable efforts to ensure the information on this website is current and correct, nutritional science evolves over time, and we cannot guarantee that all content reflects the very latest research at all times. Information may also contain inadvertent errors or omissions. We reserve the right to correct, update or change the content and tools on this website at any time without prior notice.
From time to time, this website may contain affiliate links to products or services offered by third parties. This means that if you click on certain links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions, where they exist, help support the ongoing operation and improvement of our free tools and content. We want to be fully transparent about this practice.
Any affiliate relationships do not influence the educational integrity of our content, and we only ever consider recommending products or services that we believe may be genuinely useful to our audience. However, the presence of an affiliate link does not constitute a personal endorsement, guarantee or warranty of any third-party product or service, and we are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality or performance of any third-party offerings. You should always do your own research and exercise your own judgment before purchasing any product or service, and any transaction you enter into with a third party is solely between you and that third party.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Calorie Calculator, its owners, operators, employees and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, health or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use this website, its tools or its content. This limitation applies regardless of whether such damages are based on warranty, contract, tort, negligence or any other legal theory, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
You expressly understand and agree that your use of this website is at your sole risk and that the website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
We want to emphasize, clearly and without ambiguity, that everything offered on this website is intended for educational and informational purposes only. Our goal is to help people learn about how their bodies use energy and to provide a convenient starting point for thinking about their nutrition. We are passionate about making this knowledge accessible, but we are not your doctor, dietitian or personal trainer, and the general information we provide cannot replace the individualized care that a qualified professional can offer.
Every person is unique, and responsible health management requires consideration of your complete personal circumstances, which only a professional who knows your history can fully evaluate. We encourage you to use our tools as one helpful resource among many, to stay curious and keep learning, and to build a relationship with qualified healthcare providers who can guide you safely toward your goals. Your health is precious, and we want you to pursue it wisely.
By using our website, you hereby consent to this disclaimer and agree to its terms. We reserve the right to make changes to this disclaimer at any time and for any reason. We will indicate updates by revising the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this disclaimer periodically so that you remain aware of the terms under which our website and tools are offered.
