6. Affiliate links and advertising
The Site contains affiliate links and displays third-party advertising. See the Disclaimer for details.
7. No professional advice
Content on the Site — including recipes, nutrition information, and any commentary about fitness, macros, or food — is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical, nutritional, or fitness advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, or healthcare. See our Disclaimer for the full version.
8. Nutrition information accuracy
We provide nutrition information as a courtesy. It’s calculated using third-party databases or recipe calculators and is an estimate, not a guarantee. Actual values vary based on the specific ingredients and brands you use. If you have allergies or medical dietary needs, calculate your own values from the labels of the products you actually use.
9. Cooking is at your own risk
Cooking and baking involve heat, sharp tools, raw ingredients, and the possibility of allergens. By using a recipe from this Site, you accept the inherent risks of cooking. We are not liable for kitchen injuries, burns, allergic reactions, foodborne illness, or any other harm resulting from your use of a recipe. Always handle food and equipment safely.
10. Allergies
Many recipes on this Site contain dairy, eggs, gluten, and tree nuts. We are not an allergen-free kitchen, and cross-contamination is possible. If you have a food allergy or intolerance, read every ingredient carefully and verify the safety of the brands you use. We are not responsible for adverse reactions.

The Site links to third-party websites we don’t own or control. We’re not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Visiting them is at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we (or our officers, employees, contractors, or affiliates) be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption — arising from your use of the Site or any recipe on it, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
In jurisdictions that don’t allow limitation of certain warranties or damages, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
