3. Nutrition Data is Approximate and May Be Inaccurate
All nutrition information provided by mealtally is AI-generated and estimated based on the meal descriptions you provide. Nutrition estimates are subject to significant limitations:
- Not precise: Calorie, protein, carbohydrate, and fat values are approximations and may be significantly different from actual values.
- Based on assumptions: AI makes assumptions about portion sizes, preparation methods, ingredients, and brand-specific nutrition that may not match your actual meal.
- Individual variation: Actual nutrition content varies based on specific brands, cooking methods, portion sizes, and ingredients that AI cannot know with certainty.
- No micronutrient tracking: mealtally does not track vitamins, minerals, fiber, sugar, sodium, or other micronutrients. Relying solely on macronutrients may lead to nutritional deficiencies.
Do not rely on mealtally’s nutrition estimates for medical purposes. If you need accurate nutrition information for medical reasons (e.g., managing diabetes, kidney disease, or other conditions), consult a registered dietitian and use verified nutrition databases or food labels.
4. No Allergen or Ingredient Tracking
mealtally does not track allergens, ingredients, or food sensitivities. If you have food allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities, you are responsible for independently verifying that all foods you consume are safe for you.
mealtally cannot:
- Identify allergens (gluten, dairy, nuts, shellfish, etc.)
- Warn you about cross-contamination
- Verify ingredients in prepared or restaurant foods
- Replace the need for careful ingredient verification if you have allergies
