Editorial Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026

This page explains how our articles, recipes, and calculators are made, who checks them, and what to do when you find something wrong. It describes what we actually do, not what would sound most impressive.

How our content is produced

• Our written content is drafted with the help of AI, then read and edited by a person on our team before it is published. Nothing goes live straight out of a model.
• The human pass checks three things: that the page answers the question it promises to answer, that the numbers in it agree with the numbers our own tools produce, and that nothing reads as instruction for treating a health condition.
• English is our source language. Pages are machine translated into 14 other languages, and those translations are not separately reviewed by a human speaker. If a translated page reads oddly, the English version is the one to trust, and we would like to hear about it.
• When a page falls below this bar and cannot be fixed quickly, we take it down rather than leave it up.

Where the numbers come from

• Recipe nutrition is computed, not estimated. We start from the ingredient list with its quantities, resolve each ingredient to a per-100g nutrient value, and add it up. The per-serving figure is that total divided by the number of servings.
• Every recipe is then checked for internal consistency before it is published. The sum of the ingredients has to match the stated total. The calories have to reconcile with the protein, carbohydrate, and fat using the standard 4/4/9 energy factors. The energy density of each ingredient has to sit in a plausible range for that kind of food. A recipe that fails any of these is held back and re-derived, not published with a number we cannot account for.
• Where a recipe cites a source, we give the specific USDA FoodData Central record we used, by FDC ID, so you can look up the same value we did.
• Calculators use published formulas. Each calculator page names the formula it uses and the research it comes from, and the arithmetic is deterministic, so the same inputs always give the same result.

What these checks do not catch

Consistency checks prove that a recipe adds up. They cannot prove that an ingredient was identified correctly in the first place, or that the portion size we assumed matches the one in your kitchen. If an ingredient looks wrong to you, that is worth reporting, and we would rather hear it than not.

Who reviews our content

Pages that carry no individual byline are the work of the Nutrify team and go through the same read-before-publish step.

Dates on our pages

• Calculators show the date they were last updated.
• Articles show the date they were published. We are adding a separate last-reviewed date as pages go through review, so where you see one it is the date a person last checked the page, not the date it first went up.
• A date that has not moved means the page has not been touched. We do not refresh dates to make content look newer than it is.

Reporting an error, and how fast we fix it

• Email support@nutrifytracker.com with the address of the page and what looks wrong. A screenshot helps but is not required. Inside the app, the report button on a food entry does the same job for individual foods.
• We aim to reply within 2 business days.
• Confirmed factual errors are corrected within 5 business days, and the date on the page is updated when we do. If a fix will take longer, for example because a whole recipe has to be re-derived, we will say so in the reply and tell you when to expect it.
• When we get something materially wrong, we say what changed rather than editing it away quietly.

This is not medical advice

Nutrify does not provide medical advice. Nothing on this site is a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a substitute for care from a qualified professional.

• The writers and reviewers behind our articles and recipes are not registered dietitians, licensed nutritionists, or physicians.
• Calorie targets, macro splits, and fasting schedules on this site are general information. They are not tailored to you and they know nothing about your medical history, so they should not be used to manage a health condition.
• Speak to a doctor or a registered dietitian before changing your diet or exercise routine, and especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, managing diabetes or another chronic condition, taking medication that interacts with food, or have a history of disordered eating.
• If you think you are having a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services.

How Nutrify is funded

Nutrify is funded by subscriptions to the Nutrify app. We do not run advertising on this site, and we do not accept payment to feature a product, brand, or supplement in our content.

Changes to this policy

We update this page whenever the process it describes changes, and we move the date at the top when we do.
