Legal Notice
This page states who publishes calorierule.com, who hosts it, and on what terms its calculators, food pages and activity pages may be used. It covers every page of the site.
1. Publisher Information
Publisher: Radif Partners
Website: https://calorierule.com
Email: contact@calorierule.com
Editor-in-Chief: Radif Partners
Radif Partners chooses the equations behind the calculators, loads the nutrition and MET figures into the site's data files and writes the guides. As publisher, it answers for every number and every sentence shown on Calorie Rule.
2. Hosting
The site's files are stored and served by GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P Kelly Jr Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States (pages.github.com). Each new build of the site is pushed there automatically by GitHub Actions and delivered over HTTPS; GitHub has no say in what the pages contain.
3. Intellectual Property
The guides, the food and activity write-ups, the page design and the calculator code of calorierule.com belong to Radif Partners. The nutrient values themselves come from public references such as USDA FoodData Central and the Compendium of Physical Activities, and stay free to use from those sources; what is protected here is how they are selected, explained and presented.
You may quote a short passage or a single figure if you name Calorie Rule and link to the page it comes from. Copying whole pages, republishing the food or activity tables, or reusing the calculator code needs written permission from the publisher.
4. Privacy and Cookies
How we process personal data, the cookies set on this site and our providers are described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Health Disclaimer
The content and calculators provided on CalorieRule.com are for informational and educational purposes only. They are not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, or health regimen.
While we strive for accuracy in all calculations using established, peer-reviewed formulas (such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR and the Harris-Benedict equation for TDEE), individual results may vary. The formulas used are statistical models based on population data and may not perfectly reflect your individual metabolism, health status, or nutritional needs.
The nutritional data provided for foods is compiled from publicly available databases and scientific literature. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, variations may exist due to differences in food preparation, growing conditions, and regional variations.
6. Terms of Use
Calorie Rule is free and asks for no account. It can be briefly out of reach while a new build is being published or when the host has an incident, and no level of availability is promised. Use the calculators and data for what they are meant for, and never for an unlawful purpose.
7. Limitation of Liability
A calorie target, a macro split or a body-fat percentage from these calculators is a statistical estimate. Radif Partners cannot be held liable for diet, training or health decisions taken on the strength of such an estimate, for an error in a food or activity figure, or for any loss caused by the site being unavailable.
8. External Links
Some pages cite outside references, such as USDA FoodData Central, the Compendium of Physical Activities or World Health Organization material. Those sites belong to their own owners: a citation here points you to a source, it does not endorse it, and Calorie Rule does not answer for what they publish.
9. Governing Law
French law applies to this notice and to the use of Calorie Rule. A disagreement is first to be settled amicably; failing that, the French courts have jurisdiction. Should one clause be found invalid, the others still apply.
10. Changes and Contact
The date at the top of this page is that of its latest revision. Questions about this notice, about the data used or about a correction go to contact@calorierule.com.
