Terms

What this service is

FitCalculation provides free online calculators for estimating energy expenditure, calorie targets, macronutrient targets and body composition. It is an informational tool. Using it creates no relationship between you and the site operator, and it involves no account or contract.

Not medical advice

Nothing here is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing here should be presented to a clinician as a substitute for their judgement. These tools are not reviewed by a physician or a registered dietitian, and the about page says so plainly.

Do not use these calculators if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, have diabetes or kidney disease, have a history of an eating disorder, or are managing any other medical condition. Calorie and protein targets in those circumstances are clinical decisions.

Estimates, not measurements

Every figure produced is an estimate derived from population-level equations, not a measurement of you. Results carry error margins, some substantial, and the methodology page sets out the accuracy and limitations of each one. No result should be treated as precise.

Your responsibility

You decide what to do with the output, and you are responsible for that decision. If a target produced by these calculators conflicts with professional advice, the professional advice is what matters.

No warranty

This site is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. The calculators are offered in good faith and their formulas are published and sourced, but no guarantee is made as to accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or fitness for any purpose at all. The site operator is not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the output of these tools.

Changes to these terms

These terms may change as the site does. The review date at the top of this page shows when that last happened, and continued use after a change means the updated terms apply.
