Corrections Policy

We correct factual errors, outdated source references, broken citations, unclear calculator methodology, inaccurate food values, missing medical cautions, and wording that could overstate what the evidence supports.

Small grammar or formatting changes may be made silently. Material nutrition, medical-context, source, or calculator changes should be reflected in the page's updated date where practical.

Source and calculation corrections are checked against the same hierarchy used for new content: institutional sources first, then peer-reviewed literature, then trusted medical sites and professional organizations as supporting context.

Corrections involving medical risk, medication-adjacent content, pregnancy, lactation, kidney disease, diabetes, older adults, or appetite-loss guidance should receive reviewer attention before publication.

Readers can flag issues such as a broken source link, a food value that does not match a cited USDA entry, a calculator result that needs explanation, or a sentence that feels medically overconfident.

Useful correction reports include the page URL, the specific sentence or result, and the source that supports the requested change.

We do not provide personal medical advice through corrections. A reader's individual protein target can depend on diagnosis, lab results, medication, pregnancy status, training load, appetite, and clinician instructions.

When a correction request is actually a personal health question, the safest response is to recommend individualized guidance from a qualified healthcare provider.
