2. Description of Service

Fuel Different is an evidence-based performance nutrition tracking platform designed for athletes, general fitness enthusiasts, coaches, and parents. The Service provides tools for meal logging, AI-powered nutrition analysis, hydration tracking, body composition monitoring (including InBody 580 scan integration), supplement safety evaluation, wellness check-ins, coach–athlete messaging, and personalized macro recommendations based on peer-reviewed sports nutrition research from the ISSN and ACSM.

3. Not Medical or Dietary Advice

The Service is an informational and tracking tool only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

The nutrition recommendations, macro targets, and AI-generated meal analyses provided by the Service are estimates based on general sports nutrition guidelines and published research. They should not be considered a substitute for professional dietary counseling, medical advice, or the guidance of a registered dietitian.

You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider, registered dietitian, or sports nutritionist before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have any medical conditions, food allergies, eating disorders, or specific dietary needs.

AI-powered nutritional estimates may not be 100% accurate. Users should verify nutritional information and use the Service as a supplementary tool alongside professional guidance. Individual results will vary based on genetics, adherence, medical history, and other factors.
