ZMacros is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a medical device. It is not a substitute for a doctor or registered dietitian. Every calorie, macro, energy, activity and AI photo figure is an estimate that can be wrong. It cannot tell you whether a food is safe for your allergies. Talk to a qualified professional before changing your diet, weight or exercise. If you feel unwell, stop and get help. In an emergency, call your local emergency number (for example 911 in the US and Canada, 999 or 112 in the UK, 112 in the EU, 000 in Australia).

1. ZMacros is a general wellness tool

ZMacros helps you record what you eat, your weight and your activity, and works out estimated calorie and macronutrient targets. It is meant to support general wellness: keeping track of your eating, and reaching or keeping a healthy weight.

It does not diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate or prevent any disease or condition, including diabetes, heart, kidney or liver disease, or an eating disorder. It does not know your medical history, your medication or your test results. Never ignore professional advice, or delay getting it, because of something in the app.

2. Every number is an estimate

• Targets and energy figures come from general formulas and your own logs. They are estimates, not measurements of your body, and they can be wrong for you.
• Activity energy is estimated from the type and length of the activity, your body weight and, where available, your heart rate. It is not a measurement.
• Food data comes from public databases, from our own database and from what people enter. We do not guarantee that any figure is accurate, complete or current, and products change their recipes. Where a nutrient is unknown, the app shows nothing rather than a zero; that does not mean the food has none.
• Data from other apps and devices, such as steps, energy burned, workouts and body fat read from Apple Health, comes from those platforms and the watches and apps that feed them. We do not check it. If it is wrong, figures that use it will be wrong too.

Where accuracy matters to you, check the product's label and weigh your food.

3. AI photo estimates

The photo scanner uses AI to recognise the foods in your photo and estimate amounts. It can get a food wrong, miss items such as oil, sauces or hidden ingredients, and misjudge portions. The calories and macros come from ZMacros's food data, not from the AI, but they are only as good as the AI's identification and portion estimate. Nothing is added to your diary until you check and confirm it. See the AI Features Notice.

4. Allergies and intolerances

Do not rely on ZMacros to decide whether a food is safe for you to eat. ZMacros is not designed to detect allergens. Neither the food data nor the photo scanner can tell you reliably whether a food contains an allergen, gluten or a trace of anything, and a photo cannot show what is inside a dish. If you have a food allergy, an intolerance or coeliac disease, always read the label and ask the person who prepared the food.

5. Talk to a professional first

Everyone should speak to a qualified professional before making a big change to what they eat, their weight or their exercise. It matters most if you:

• are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding;
• are under 18 or over 65;
• have diabetes (especially if you use insulin or medication that can cause low blood sugar), or a heart, kidney, liver, thyroid or other medical condition;
• take medication that affects your weight, appetite or blood sugar, including GLP-1 medicines, or that interacts with food;
• have, or have had, an eating disorder or disordered eating;
• are starting a new or much harder exercise programme.

The app's Pregnant and Breastfeeding setting changes only the nutrient reference values it shows. It does not change your calorie or macro targets, so ask your doctor or midwife what to eat.

6. Exercise and activity

Workout programmes in the app are general, not designed for your health. Stop exercising and get medical help straight away if you feel chest pain, severe breathlessness, dizziness, faintness or an irregular heartbeat. Record outdoor activities only where it is safe, and do not look at your phone while running, cycling or driving.

7. Eating disorders and your wellbeing

Tracking food is not right for everyone, especially anyone who has had an eating disorder. ZMacros has built-in limits:

• it will not hold a daily calorie target below a safety floor, including one you type in yourself;
• it warns about goal weights just below the healthy range for your height, and refuses goals further below it;
• it caps how fast it aims for you to lose or gain weight;
• for anyone who may be under 18, judged from their year of birth, it starts with a maintain-weight goal, always applies the higher of its calorie floors, keeps any pace gentle, refuses any goal weight below the healthy range, and does not offer the fasting timer or AI photo scanning.

When it changes or refuses something, it tells you. These limits are safety rails, not an assessment. ZMacros cannot tell whether you have an eating disorder and does not try to.

If tracking is making you anxious, or you are worried about your eating, stop. You can pause or stop at any time and delete your data. In the app, Settings → Help with eating and weight lists organisations for your country. Each entry opens the organisation's own page, with its current phone number and hours. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

8. Your responsibility

Results vary, and none is promised. How your weight and body change depends on many things the app cannot measure, such as your health, sleep, medication and how accurately you log. Results that other people describe are theirs and may not be typical.

You decide what you eat, how you exercise and what to do with the estimates. Section 12 of the Terms of Service sets out our liability. Nothing in this disclaimer limits a right you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded.

9. Advice from other people

Advice from anyone else is theirs, not ZMacros's. That includes advice you find online or get from a trainer, friend or influencer.

Before you follow anyone's advice, ask what they are qualified to advise on, and check with a doctor or registered dietitian if any point in section 5 applies to you. The app's safety limits in section 7 apply to every target, whoever suggested it. If advice makes you feel unwell, or pushes you to eat very little, fast for long periods or lose weight fast, stop following it, and tell us at support@zmacros.com. Section 3A of the Terms of Service explains who is responsible for what.
