Terms and health disclaimer

Please read this before relying on anything Calorie Target Lab (“CTL”) shows you. It is written in plain language.

What CTL is

• CTL provides educational weight-management estimates and, if you choose, a structured 90-day check-in programme for refining them.
• Every figure is an estimate. Your “Working Calorie Target” is a planning figure that we refine using your own results; it is not a measurement of your metabolism and not your exact total daily energy expenditure (TDEE).
• Real-world results vary between people and over time, so your target may change as your body, activity and routine change.

Not medical advice

• CTL is not a medical or dietetic service. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment or individual medical advice.
• Some conditions and medications affect energy needs and safe weight change (for example diabetes, thyroid conditions, eating-disorder history, kidney or heart conditions, and some prescriptions). If any of these apply, or you are unsure, get advice from a suitably qualified professional before changing what you eat or how you train.
• Please speak to a doctor about unexplained weight loss, or concerning symptoms such as persistent fatigue, dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or changes to your periods. Stop and seek advice if you feel unwell.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not supported in this version, and CTL is designed for adults aged 19 and over. The calculator will tell you when it cannot provide a target.

Using the results

• You remain responsible for how you use the information, including your food choices, training and any changes you make.
• Where CTL judges a target or rate to be unsuitable it will say so and may decline to provide one; that is a product safety limit, not a diagnosis.
• We aim for accurate, useful estimates but cannot guarantee any particular result or that the information is error-free.

Your account and plan link

• There are no accounts. Your 90-day plan is opened with a private link; keep it private, as anyone with the link can open your plan.
• You can stop using the service at any time. See the Privacy page for how your information is handled.

Availability and changes

We may change, pause or withdraw features (including the 90-day programme) and will try to give reasonable notice where a plan in progress is affected.

Liability

• Calorie Target Lab is a free service provided “as is”, and gives general estimates only. It is not medical advice and does not replace advice from a doctor or dietitian.
• Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot legally be limited, and nothing here affects your statutory consumer rights.
• Subject to that, we are not liable for losses that were not a reasonably foreseeable result of our breach, for business or trading losses, or for loss caused by you relying on an estimate in place of professional advice. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to £100.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you keep any mandatory protections of your home country and may bring a claim in your local courts.

My other services

Calorie Target Lab and Forever Strong Coaching are both run by Daniel Turner. Where this site or its emails link to his coaching or high-protein nutrition products, those are his own services, not independent recommendations. Using this calculator never requires buying anything, and any purchase is a separate agreement with its own terms.
