This platform provides general nutrition and meal planning guidance. The content, meal plans, and nutritional information provided by My Meals, My Way (MMMW) is for educational and informational purposes only. 

MMMW does not provide medical advice and does not replace a doctor, dietitian, or other licensed professional. Users should consult a qualified professional for medical, dietary, or health concerns, especially when managing a condition or making significant dietary changes.

Use of this application does not create a professional-client relationship between you and the nutritionists who developed the platform. MMMW is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. 

Individual Responsibility

You are responsible for reviewing and adapting your MMMW meal plans to meet your individual needs. This includes confirming safety, such as confirming the removal of all allergens, and making changes when appropriate. This platform does not provide care, supervision, or clinical oversight.

Caregiver Responsibility

If you are creating or using meal plans for another person in MMMW, you are responsible for reviewing and adapting the plan to meet their individual needs. This includes supervising meals, confirming safety, such as confirming the removal of all allergens from meal plans, and making changes when appropriate. This platform does not provide care, supervision, or clinical oversight.

Health & Safety Responsibility

Users are responsible for how meal plans are used and applied in real-world settings. This includes ensuring that foods, portion sizes, and preparation methods are safe and appropriate for the individual. The platform does not monitor use or outcomes.

Allergy & Dietary Safety

MMMW attempts to accommodate dietary preferences and restrictions, but it does not guarantee that meals are free from allergens. Ingredients and preparation methods may vary. Users should always review ingredient labels and confirm food safety before preparing or serving meals.

Food Safety & Choking Risk

Some foods included in the MMMW meal plans may present choking or swallowing risks for certain individuals. This platform does not assess swallowing ability or determine food safety for specific users. A caregiver or qualified professional should determine appropriate food choices, preparation methods, and supervision during meals.

Texture & Adaptive Eating Needs

MMMW meal suggestions may need to be modified to meet texture or adaptive eating needs (such as chopped, softened, or puréed foods). This platform does not ensure that meals meet specific texture requirements. Users are responsible for making appropriate modifications based on individual needs.

Real-World Flexibility 

MMMW meal plans are designed to be flexible and may not always reflect what is available, affordable, or practical. Foods may need to be substituted based on availability, preferences, skill level, or safety considerations. Users should use their judgment and adapt plans as needed rather than following them exactly.

Behavioral Reality 

MMMW meal plans may not be followed exactly due to individual preferences, behaviors, or support needs. MMMW does not control or monitor what is actually eaten. Outcomes will vary depending on how plans are used in real-world situations.

Accuracy of Information

Nutrition information and meal plans in MMMW are based on available USDA Dietary Guidelines data and are estimates. The platform does not guarantee that information is complete, accurate, or up to date. Users should verify important details when needed.

AI-Generated Content: Users acknowledge that MMMW meal plans are generated by Artificial Intelligence. While we strive for accuracy, AI is capable of errors. MMMW does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or safety of AI-generated suggestions. You are solely responsible for verifying all ingredients and nutritional data against your specific allergies and dietary needs.

No Guaranteed Results

MMMW does not guarantee any specific results, including changes in weight, health status, or behavior. Outcomes vary based on many individual factors, including how the meal plans are used.

User Responsibility for Preparation

Users are responsible for food preparation, portion sizes, and safe food handling practices. This includes following appropriate food safety guidelines and ensuring meals are prepared in a safe and suitable manner.
