Medical & Clinical Disclaimer
A. Calculations are Estimates
The energy recommendations (BMR, Maintenance Calories, and Weight Goals) calculated by this application are mathematical approximations derived from the Mifflin–St Jeor Equation. Individual metabolic rates, endocrine profiles, and physiological energy expenditure depend on factors that mathematical equations cannot fully measure, such as muscle mass, genetic traits, thyroid activity, body temperature, hormonal balance, and pharmaceutical therapies.
B. Professional Medical Consultation Required
Do not begin a weight loss, weight gain, or body recomposition program based solely on this application's numbers. Always seek the advice of a qualified doctor, registered dietitian, or endocrinologist. Never ignore professional medical advice or delay seeking treatment because of information or figures you have read inside the DrinkLife Calorie Calculator.
C. Clinical Contraindications
Do not use the DrinkLife Calorie Calculator to manage calories if you are affected by any of the following clinical conditions, unless under direct medical supervision:
- Eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, etc.)
- Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 or Type 2)
- Metabolic syndrome or thyroid conditions (Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism)
- Renal (kidney) or hepatic (liver) diseases requiring custom protein limits
- Pregnancy or lactation, which require distinct metabolic adjustments
D. General Macro Ratios
The app's default macronutrient targets (Protein 25%, Carbs 50%, Fat 25%) are general guidelines. If you have specific athletic requirements, cardiovascular conditions, or food intolerances, your optimal macro breakdown will differ and must be determined by a dietary professional.
