Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the Calorie Deficit Calculator website ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use this website.

These terms apply to all visitors and users of the website. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and your continued use of the Service following any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

Description of Service

The Calorie Deficit Calculator is a free online tool that helps users estimate their calorie needs for weight management. The Service includes:

• A calorie deficit calculator with multiple calculation modes
• Educational content about nutrition and weight management
• Related blog articles and guides

The Service is provided free of charge. No account registration is required. The calculator runs entirely in your web browser and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection and a modern web browser.

Disclaimer of Warranties

This calculator provides estimates for informational and educational purposes only. The results are not professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to:

• Medical advice
• Nutritional or dietary advice
• Fitness or exercise recommendations
• Health diagnoses or treatment plans

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before starting any weight loss program, making significant dietary changes, or if you have any health concerns. This is especially important if you have existing medical conditions, are taking medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a history of eating disorders.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Any decisions you make based on calculator results
• Any health outcomes, positive or negative
• Any weight loss or gain results
• Any errors or inaccuracies in calculations
• Any interruption or unavailability of the Service

You use this calculator entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for how you interpret and apply the results.

Accuracy

We strive to provide accurate calculations based on established scientific formulas and methodologies. Our calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR estimation, which is widely recognized in the scientific and medical community. The formulas and reference data we use are documented on our About page.

However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of results. Individual metabolism varies, and no formula can perfectly predict any person's calorie needs. Calculator results should be treated as starting estimates, not precise prescriptions. Real-world results will vary based on factors the calculator cannot measure.
