What this app is not, and when to speak to a doctor instead.
CalFit is a tracking and planning tool for general fitness and nutrition. It is not a medical device, it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and nothing in it is a substitute for advice from a doctor, a dietitian, a physiotherapist or any other qualified professional.
The plan the app produces is a general starting point calculated from the answers you gave. It is not a prescription, and it was not reviewed by a clinician who knows you.
Get medical clearance before following any plan from this app if any of the following applies to you. This list is not exhaustive, and if you are unsure, ask.
Your calorie and protein targets are estimated with published population formulas from your age, sex, height, weight and reported activity. These formulas describe averages. Two people with identical answers can have genuinely different energy needs, and no formula can see your metabolism, your medication or your sleep.
Treat the targets as a hypothesis to test against how you actually feel and what the scale actually does over several weeks, not as a fact about your body.
Food entries, including anything identified from a photograph, are estimates. Portion sizes, preparation and brands all move the real number, sometimes by a lot.
Some requests are refused rather than warned about, because a warning you can dismiss is not a safeguard. These limits apply whatever goal you set.
Stop exercising immediately and get medical help if you feel chest pain or pressure, severe breathlessness, dizziness or faintness, an irregular heartbeat, or pain that is sharp rather than the ordinary effort of training.
Stop following the nutrition plan and speak to a doctor if you are persistently exhausted, losing hair, losing your period, sleeping badly, or feeling cold all the time. These are signs that the target is too low for you, whatever the formula said.
In an emergency, call your local emergency number. Do not use this app.
Counting calories and weighing yourself daily is not right for everyone. For some people it reinforces a harmful relationship with food, and the fact that a number is accurate does not make looking at it every day helpful.
If you are worried about your relationship with food or with your body, please speak to a doctor or a mental health professional before you use this app, and consider whether tracking is the right tool for you at all.
Physical training can cause injury, and it can aggravate an injury you already have. The app selects exercises from what you told it about your equipment and your limitations, and it can only work from what you told it.
Form matters more than load. If you have not done a movement before, learn it with a qualified coach rather than from a still image, start lighter than you think you need to, and stop a set when your technique breaks down.
You are responsible for training within your own limits, and for the environment you train in.
If something in the app looks wrong or unsafe, please tell us at omri@dicori.co.il. A report that a generated plan produced a number that does not make sense is genuinely useful, and we would rather hear it.
