Editorial Policy & Medical Disclaimer

Last updated:

1. Who Writes Our Content

Articles and meal data on MealGen AI are researched and written by our in-house editorial team. We are writers and software developers with a strong interest in nutrition — we are not licensed medical or nutrition professionals.

We do not currently have a physician or registered dietitian on staff, and our articles do not carry a medical review. We state this openly because we would rather you weigh our content accordingly than assume a level of clinical authority we do not have. Where a topic requires professional judgment — dosing, medical conditions, medication interactions, pregnancy, pediatric nutrition, or eating disorders — we say so and direct you to a qualified professional instead of guessing.

2. How We Research

• We prioritize established, mainstream nutrition science and widely accepted dietary guidance over trends, fad claims, or single sensational studies.
• Where scientific consensus is genuinely mixed or evolving, we describe it as mixed rather than picking the more dramatic answer.
• We present ranges (for example, protein intake recommendations) rather than false-precision single numbers, because individual needs vary.
• We do not make therapeutic claims. You will not find us saying a food cures, treats, or prevents disease.
• We avoid before/after transformation claims, guaranteed weight-loss promises, or any suggestion that results are typical or assured.

3. How Our Nutrition Estimates Are Produced

Every meal in our database carries estimated calorie, protein, carbohydrate, and fat values for a typical single serving. These are derived from standard portion sizes and commonly published values for each ingredient, then rounded for readability.

These are genuinely estimates, and we label them as such throughout the site. Actual values vary with portion size, specific brands and cuts, cooking method, and any added fats or condiments. They are suitable for general meal planning. They are not suitable as a substitute for verified nutrition labels where medical accuracy matters — for example, carbohydrate counting for diabetes management.

4. Full Medical Disclaimer

The content and tools on MealGen AI are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute medical, nutritional, dietary, or healthcare advice, and no doctor–patient or clinician–client relationship is created by your use of this site.

Meal plans generated by our tool are software-produced general suggestions. They are not personalized to your health status, medical history, allergies, intolerances, medications, or individual nutritional requirements. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.

Consult a physician or registered dietitian before changing your diet, particularly if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, managing a medical condition (including diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, or an eating disorder), or taking medication that interacts with food. Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice because of something you read here. If you believe you may have a medical emergency, contact your doctor or emergency services immediately.

Always verify ingredient lists against your own allergies and intolerances before preparing any meal suggested by this site.

5. Corrections

We correct errors. If you spot an inaccurate nutrition figure, a factual mistake in an article, or a meal tagged with the wrong diet category, please tell us via our Contact page and we will review it.

When we correct something substantive, we update the page and revise its "last updated" date. We do not silently delete content to hide an error.

6. Advertising & Independence

MealGen AI is free to use and is funded by display advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertising revenue is what keeps the tool free and unpaywalled.

• Advertisers have no influence over our editorial content, our meal database, or the output of our generator.
• Ads are served programmatically by third-party networks; we do not hand-pick individual advertisers, and an ad appearing on our site is not an endorsement by us.
• We are not sponsored by, affiliated with, or paid by any supplement company, food brand, meal-kit service, or commercial diet program.
• We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable coverage of any product or diet.

7. Content Updates

Nutrition guidance changes as research develops. We periodically review published articles and update them where guidance has shifted or where we can make something clearer. Each article shows its publication and last-updated dates.
