Last Updated: May 19, 2026

Thank you for visiting DRI Calculator (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the website”). Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using our website or relying on any information it provides. By accessing and using the DRI Calculator, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Disclaimer. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

1. Educational and Informational Purpose Only

DRI Calculator is a free online tool created for general educational and informational purposes only. Our calculator provides estimated Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), including calorie, macronutrient, vitamin, and mineral recommendations, based on general inputs such as age, sex, height, weight, and activity level.

These calculations rely on publicly available reference data published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), formerly known as the Institute of Medicine (IOM). DRI Calculator is an independent resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National Academies or any government agency. The information presented is intended to help you learn about general nutrition concepts, not to direct your personal health care.

2. General Estimates for Healthy Individuals

The results generated by the DRI Calculator are general estimates designed for generally healthy individuals. They are based on population-level reference values and standardized formulas, which cannot account for every individual’s unique health status, medical history, body composition, genetics, medications, or specific nutritional needs.

Because of this, the recommendations provided should be treated as a starting point for general understanding only — not as a precise or personalized nutrition plan. Individual requirements can vary significantly from these general estimates.

3. Not Medical Advice

The information and results provided by DRI Calculator do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and should never be interpreted as such. The website does not create a doctor-patient, dietitian-client, or any other professional relationship between you and DRI Calculator or its creators.

Nutrition and health are highly individual. No online calculator can replace the judgment of a qualified professional who can evaluate your complete health profile. The content on this website is not a substitute for professional medical or nutritional guidance.

4. Always Consult a Qualified Professional

Before making any decisions about your diet, nutrition, supplementation, exercise, or overall health, you should always consult a licensed physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare professional. They can provide guidance tailored to your individual circumstances.

You should never disregard, avoid, or delay seeking professional medical or dietary advice because of something you have read or calculated on this website. If you have specific concerns about your health or nutrition, please speak with a professional promptly.
