Nutrition Disclaimer

Plate Score is a visual heuristic that evaluates meals based on recognized food items and estimated portion sizes. It has not been clinically validated, peer-reviewed, or tested against laboratory measurements. Treat it as a general guide, not a precise measurement.

Our AI models identify foods in your photos and estimate quantities, calories, and macronutrients. These estimates are approximations and can be affected by lighting, photo angle, portion size, and food variety. Actual nutrition content may differ significantly.

PlateBeacon does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nutrition needs vary by individual and depend on factors including age, health conditions, medications, and activity level. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making dietary changes.

Nutrition estimates draw on food databases that may not include every food item, brand, or preparation method. Packaged foods, restaurant meals, and homemade recipes may have nutrition values that differ from database entries.

PlateBeacon does not detect or verify allergens. If you have food allergies or sensitivities, do not rely on the Service for allergen information. Always check ingredient labels and consult food providers directly.

You are responsible for decisions you make based on PlateBeacon’s information. Verify estimates when precision matters, and use the Service as a complement to — not a replacement for — professional guidance.
