Estimates, not prescriptions
Calories, protein, fiber, serving sizes, preparation times, and other nutrition values are good faith estimates. Actual values vary with brands, substitutions, portion sizes, and cooking methods. Do not rely on our calculations to manage a medical condition.
Allergens and dietary labels
Always read package labels and assess cross contact in your own kitchen. Ingredients and manufacturing practices change. Labels such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten aware, or dairy free describe the listed recipe and are not a guarantee that every purchased ingredient is free from an allergen.
Mood language
Words such as focused, grounded, bright, or comforting describe an editorial feeling and dining experience. They do not mean a recipe treats anxiety, depression, fatigue, attention disorders, or any other condition.
Symptom and body support choices
Dizziness, low mood, fatigue, headaches, and an unsettled stomach can have many causes. MoodRecipe’s body support choices offer general meal and hydration inspiration only. They do not diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure any illness. Foods containing vitamin D and cocoa can be part of an enjoyable diet, but neither is presented as a treatment for depression.
Condition based menus
The Eating with section provides general recipe starting points for diabetes meal planning, heart and cholesterol supportive patterns, iron containing foods, nutrition during cancer care, and food allergy awareness. It does not create a therapeutic diet, determine carbohydrate or nutrient targets, diagnose iron deficiency, or account for medications, laboratory results, treatment side effects, immune status, or every individual restriction. Cancer nutrition can change substantially during treatment, and anemia is not always caused by iron deficiency.
Food allergy screening
The allergy screen checks the listed base ingredients of a small curated recipe set against the nine major U.S. food allergens. It cannot verify brands, facilities, substitutions, restaurant preparation, shared equipment, or cross contact. Always read the complete label every time, use ingredients and preparation methods that are safe for you, and follow your personal emergency plan.
When to seek professional advice
Consult a qualified clinician or registered dietitian for allergies, pregnancy, eating disorders, medication interactions, chronic disease, persistent symptoms, or a therapeutic diet. Sudden or severe dizziness with fainting, chest pain, trouble breathing, trouble speaking, vision changes, weakness on one side, or a severe headache needs emergency care. In the United States, call 911 for an emergency. If you may hurt yourself or are in emotional crisis, call or text 988.
