1. Educational use only

All content on CalorieSense, including calorie counts, macronutrient breakdowns, comparison tables, meal plans, and exercise estimates, is provided strictly for general educational and informational purposes. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

2. Not medical advice

Nothing on this website constitutes medical advice, dietary advice, or a professional clinical opinion. Neither CalorieSense nor its publisher Freedom Media is a registered medical practitioner, hospital, dietitian, or nutritional therapist. We do not have a professional relationship with you, and reading our content does not create one.

Always seek the advice of a qualified physician, registered dietitian, or other licensed healthcare professional before:

• Starting any weight-loss or weight-gain plan
• Changing your diet, particularly if you have a chronic condition
• Beginning a new exercise programme
• Acting on any specific calorie or macronutrient target you read on this site
• Following any meal plan, recipe modification, or fasting protocol

3. Calorie figures are estimates, not measurements

Calorie and macronutrient values published on CalorieSense are based on standard reference databases (IFCT 2017 and USDA FoodData Central) and reasonable preparation assumptions for typical Indian portion sizes. They are estimates, not guarantees.

Real-world calorie content varies based on:

• The specific brand, variety, or cultivar of an ingredient
• Cooking method, time, and temperature
• Quantity of oil, ghee, or other added fats actually used
• Portion size on your plate, which is rarely identical to the reference portion
• Regional and household variations in recipes

For precise tracking, especially if you are managing a medical condition that requires strict calorie or macro control, use a kitchen scale and consult a registered dietitian.

4. Specific high-risk conditions

If you have any of the following, please rely on direct guidance from your treating clinician rather than on website content:

5. Eating disorder caution

Calorie counting can become harmful for individuals with a current or past eating disorder, or with disordered eating tendencies. If you find that tracking calories increases anxiety, restrictive behaviours, or preoccupation with food, please stop using the site for tracking purposes and speak with a mental health professional or specialist.

In India, you can reach Vandrevala Foundation Helpline at 1860-2662-345 / 1800-2333-330 (24×7), or contact the iCall psychosocial helpline at 9152987821.

CalorieSense content is not designed to identify allergens. If you have a food allergy, intolerance, or sensitivity, always read complete ingredient lists from the manufacturer and consult an allergist for personalised guidance. Cross-contamination is not addressed in our nutrient breakdowns.

7. External links

CalorieSense may link to external websites, research papers, or government databases. We do not control these external sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or availability. Linking does not constitute an endorsement.

8. No professional relationship

Reading content on CalorieSense, sending us an email, or downloading any of our resources does not create a doctor-patient, dietitian-client, or other professional relationship between you and CalorieSense, Freedom Media, or any of our editorial team.
