The content published on Clinical Nutrition Report is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for individualized medical advice, nutrition therapy, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have about your health, your diet, a medical condition, or a medication you are taking.

Not a clinical relationship

Reading this site does not create a clinician-patient relationship between you and any contributor to Clinical Nutrition Report. Our authors are credentialed Registered Dietitians and other allied health professionals, but they are not your dietitian. They have not assessed you, do not know your medical history, do not have access to your laboratory values, and cannot provide personalized recommendations based on the public content of this site.

If you would like personalized medical nutrition therapy, you should consult a Registered Dietitian licensed in your jurisdiction. Most U.S. states require licensure or certification to practice dietetics; the Commission on Dietetic Registration maintains a public directory at eatrightpro.org.

No diagnosis or treatment

Nothing on this site should be interpreted as diagnosing any medical condition or recommending any specific treatment, medication, supplement, dose, or procedure. Where we discuss specific medications (notably GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide), the discussion is descriptive and educational; it is not a prescription, a dose recommendation, or medical guidance. Decisions about whether to start, continue, change, or discontinue a medication should be made in consultation with your prescribing clinician.

Calorie tracking, weight loss, and disordered eating

Calorie tracking is a clinical tool that is helpful for some users in some contexts and actively harmful for others. If you have a current or historical eating disorder, are in recovery from one, or are at elevated risk for one, you should consult a qualified clinician (ideally an iaedp-trained Registered Dietitian or a multidisciplinary ED team) before adopting calorie tracking as a daily practice.

If you or someone you know is struggling with disordered eating, our eating disorder resource page lists national hotlines and resources. The National Eating Disorders Association helpline is reachable at 1-800-931-2237; the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is reachable by calling or texting 988.

Emergencies

This site is not designed for, and should not be relied on for, medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 (in the U.S.) or your local emergency number immediately. If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Accuracy and currency

We make a serious effort to ensure that everything we publish is accurate at time of publication and is reviewed regularly for currency (see our editorial policy and methodology). Despite this, nutrition science evolves, app pricing and features change, and errors occur. The information on this site may be out of date by the time you read it. Where a piece carries a "last reviewed" date older than the cadence we have promised for that content type, please contact us.

App pricing, feature availability, and AI model behavior are subject to change without notice from the vendor. Always confirm current pricing and current functionality directly with the app maker before making a purchasing decision.

External links

We link to external sites for citation, transparency, and reader convenience. We do not control the content of external sites and do not endorse any specific external site beyond the cited material. Inclusion of an external link does not imply our endorsement of any commercial product or service offered on that site.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Clinical Nutrition Report and its contributors disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in any way connected with the use of this site or reliance on its content. Use of this site is at your own risk.
