• Photo Analysis: When you upload food or body photos, our technology analyzes them to estimate nutrition information or body composition.
• Personalized Calculations: We calculate your daily calorie goals, nutrition targets, and other recommendations based on your profile and goals.
• Estimates, Not Exact: All the numbers we provide are estimates. They're based on what we can see in photos and the information you give us. Actual values may be different.
• Accuracy Depends on You: Better photos and accurate information help us give you better estimates. We can't guarantee perfect accuracy, so use our data as helpful guidance.

Automated Processing: The automated analyses provided by the app are for informational purposes only and do not produce legal, medical, or similarly significant decisions.

• Food nutrition is estimated from photos - it might not match the real values
• Body composition is estimated from photos - it's not as accurate as medical equipment
• Calorie and nutrition goals are based on general formulas
• Everyone is different, so results vary

You decide:

• What information you give the app
• How you use the app's recommendations
