2. Nature of the Service

CaloriePlex provides free online tools that calculate estimated basal metabolic rate (BMR), total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), macronutrient targets, body mass index (BMI), and ideal body weight using published scientific equations.

All outputs are statistical estimates for informational and educational purposes only. They are not personalised medical advice, dietary prescriptions, or clinical assessments. See our full Disclaimer.

CaloriePlex is not a medical service. No information on this Site creates a doctor-patient, dietitian-client, or any other professional relationship. You should not use results from this Site to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider — including a registered dietitian or physician — before making significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, or health management.

4. Accuracy of Information

We strive to ensure our equations are correctly implemented and our educational content is accurate. However, we make no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose of any information on the Site. Nutritional science evolves; equations that are currently considered best-practice may be revised in future research.
