Disclaimer

Consult a professional

Always seek the advice of your physician, a registered dietitian, or another qualified health provider before starting, changing, or stopping any diet, exercise, or weight management program, and with any questions about a medical condition. This is especially important if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are under 18, have a history of disordered eating, or have a condition such as diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, or an eating disorder, or take medication that affects appetite, blood sugar, or metabolism. Never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of something you read here.

Estimates, not guarantees

Our tools use established, published formulas and reputable data, but their outputs are estimates. Real energy needs, weight change, and body composition vary from person to person due to genetics, activity, health, medication, measurement error, and many other factors. Your actual results may differ from any estimate shown, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed. Any results, examples, or figures shown on this site are for illustration and are not typical or promised outcomes.

Safety floors and sensible use

Our weight-loss calculators will not recommend calorie targets below 1200 calories per day for women or 1500 for men, and we encourage moderate, sustainable approaches. Very low calorie diets, rapid weight loss, and extreme training should only be undertaken with professional supervision. If you feel unwell while following any plan, stop and seek advice.

Individual responsibility

You are responsible for how you use the information on this site, including any dietary or lifestyle decisions you make. By using the calculators you accept that SmartDietChoices is not liable for any outcome arising from their use, as set out in our terms of use.

Food data accuracy

Nutrition figures in the recipe calculator come from USDA FoodData Central and represent typical values for raw ingredients. The nutrition of your specific foods, brands, and cooking methods will differ, so treat recipe results as informed estimates rather than exact measurements. More on our sources is on the methodology page.

Advertising disclosure

This site is supported by advertising, including Google AdSense and its partners. Ads help keep every calculator free to use. Advertisements are labeled where required and are served by third parties; we do not control which specific ads appear, and the presence of an ad is not an endorsement of the advertised product or service. How advertising cookies work, and how to opt out of personalized ads, is explained in our privacy policy.

Affiliate and sponsored content disclosure

Some links on this site may be affiliate links, which means we could earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. Any sponsored or paid content will be clearly identified. Earning a commission never changes our formulas, our data, or our recommendations, and we only reference sources we consider reliable.

External links

Our pages may link to third-party websites for reference or convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, products, or privacy practices of those sites. Following an external link is at your own risk, and their terms and policies apply once you leave our site.
