Last Updated: March 28, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to DailyCalorie ("we," "us," "our," or the "Service"). By accessing or using the DailyCalorie website located at https://dailycalorie-app.vercel.app (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and DailyCalorie governing your use of the Site and all related tools, features, content, and services offered through the Site. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.

You represent that you are at least 13 years of age. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.

2. Description of Service

DailyCalorie is a free, web-based Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculator and macronutrient dashboard. The Service allows users to estimate their daily caloric needs and macronutrient breakdown based on personal inputs such as age, gender, weight, height, and activity level.

The Service is provided entirely free of charge and does not require users to create an account, register, or provide any personally identifiable information to use the core calculator functionality. All calculations are performed client-side in your web browser, and no personal health data is transmitted to or stored on our servers unless you explicitly choose to use optional data-sharing features.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any part thereof, at any time and without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

3. Disclaimer — Not Medical Advice

The information and results provided by DailyCalorie are intended for general informational and educational purposes only. The Service does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical advice from a qualified healthcare provider.

You should always consult with a physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet, exercise routine, or nutritional intake. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of information obtained through this Service.

If you have or suspect you have a medical condition, an eating disorder, or any health concern, please contact your healthcare provider immediately. DailyCalorie expressly disclaims any and all liability arising from your reliance on the information provided by the Service.

4. Accuracy of Calculations

DailyCalorie uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is widely recognized in the scientific and nutritional community as one of the most accurate methods for estimating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your TDEE is then estimated by multiplying your BMR by an activity factor corresponding to your reported activity level.

However, please understand that all caloric and macronutrient estimates are approximations. Individual results may vary significantly due to factors including, but not limited to, genetics, metabolic conditions, body composition, hormonal fluctuations, medications, environmental conditions, and the inherent limitations of self-reported data such as activity level.

We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any calculations or results generated by the Service. The estimates provided should be used as a general starting point and adjusted based on your individual experience and the guidance of a qualified professional.

5. Intellectual Property
