Health & Fitness Disclaimer

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using any tool, calculator, content, or information provided on MacroEngine (the "Service"), accessible at macroengine.app and its associated subpages. By accessing or using this Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms set forth in this disclaimer.

1. For Educational and Informational Purposes Only

All content published on MacroEngine — including but not limited to calorie calculations, macro breakdowns, fasting schedules, hydration targets, articles, FAQs, and any other nutritional or fitness-related information — is provided strictly for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this website should be interpreted as, or construed to constitute, professional medical advice, nutritional counseling, dietary guidance, physical therapy, clinical diagnosis, or any other form of licensed healthcare or medical service.

MacroEngine does not employ licensed nutritionists, registered dietitians, medical doctors, certified fitness trainers, or any other credentialed healthcare professionals to produce, review, or validate the content or calculations presented on this platform. The outputs generated by our tools — including Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) estimates, Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculations, macro gram targets, and hydration goals — are automated mathematical computations based on publicly established scientific equations and are inherently subject to individual variance.

2. Not a Substitute for Professional Medical Advice

The information available through MacroEngine is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician, registered dietitian, certified nutritionist, or other qualified health care provider before beginning any new diet, exercise program, weight loss regimen, intermittent fasting protocol, or significant nutritional change.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read or calculated on this website. If you believe you may be experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services or visit the nearest emergency room immediately.

Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions — including but not limited to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, eating disorders, thyroid conditions, pregnancy, or any condition requiring medically supervised nutrition — should consult their healthcare provider before implementing any dietary changes suggested or calculated by this tool.

3. Accuracy of Calculations and Estimates

The calorie and macro calculations provided by MacroEngine are based on the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, a widely cited and scientifically validated formula for estimating Basal Metabolic Rate. While this equation represents a statistically valid population average, it is an estimate — not an exact measurement of your personal metabolism. Actual metabolic rates can vary significantly based on factors including genetics, hormonal profile, gut microbiome, body composition, medication use, sleep quality, stress levels, and metabolic history.

The macro ratios used by MacroEngine (30% Protein, 40% Carbohydrates, 30% Fats) represent a reasonable general-population starting template derived from mainstream fitness nutrition research. They do not account for individual therapeutic dietary needs, food allergies, medical dietary restrictions, athletic performance optimization, or clinical body recomposition protocols.

MacroEngine makes no warranty, express or implied, that the calculations produced by our tools will be accurate for your specific physiology, or that following the calculated targets will result in any particular health outcome, weight loss, muscle gain, or metabolic improvement.

4. YMYL — Your Money, Your Life Acknowledgment

MacroEngine acknowledges that health, nutrition, and fitness content falls within what Google and the broader digital publishing community classify as "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL) topics — subject matter with the potential to directly affect a person's health, safety, financial security, or wellbeing. In recognition of this responsibility, MacroEngine is committed to:

• Citing only well-established, peer-reviewed scientific frameworks (such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation) as the basis for automated calculations.
• Clearly disclosing the educational and informational nature of all content.
• Prominently directing users toward qualified healthcare professionals for personalized guidance.
• Continuously reviewing and updating content to reflect the best available scientific evidence.
• Refraining from making claims that the use of MacroEngine will cure, treat, prevent, or diagnose any medical condition.

5. Fasting and Extreme Dietary Protocols

Intermittent fasting and caloric restriction protocols are not appropriate for all individuals. Fasting is contraindicated for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, children and adolescents, individuals with a history of eating disorders (including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder), and those on medications that require food intake. If you fall into any of these categories, or are unsure whether fasting is appropriate for your health situation, consult a qualified healthcare provider before using the Fasting Timer feature on MacroEngine.

6. Hydration and Water Intake

The hydration targets calculated by MacroEngine's Water Tracker are based on the general guideline of approximately 35 milliliters of water per kilogram of bodyweight per day. This formula represents a population-level average and may not be appropriate for individuals with kidney disease, congestive heart failure, fluid-retention disorders, or other conditions where fluid intake must be medically managed. Consult your physician for personalized hydration guidance if you have any relevant medical history.

7. Individual Results Will Vary

Any testimonials, example results, or general outcome statements referenced in MacroEngine's content reflect the experiences of hypothetical individuals under specific conditions and are not representative of typical or guaranteed results. Your individual results will vary based on numerous personal factors outside MacroEngine's control or predictive capacity. MacroEngine makes no representation that you will achieve any particular outcome by using this Service.

8. External Links

MacroEngine may, from time to time, link to third-party websites, research papers, or external resources for informational purposes. We do not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party websites. Linking to an external source does not constitute medical endorsement of the content found therein.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MacroEngine, its owners, operators, authors, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your reliance on, or use of, any information, calculation, or tool provided through this Service. This includes, without limitation, any health injury, metabolic harm, weight fluctuation, adverse dietary outcome, or any other consequence — foreseeable or otherwise — resulting from acting on the outputs of MacroEngine's calculators without consulting a qualified professional.

10. Changes to This Disclaimer

MacroEngine reserves the right to update or modify this disclaimer at any time without prior notice. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised disclaimer.
