Estimates, not measurements
The calorie counts, macronutrient values, and portion sizes shown by Toast are estimates. They are produced by a combination of computer-vision analysis, a curated food database, and your own corrections. Real meals vary by cook, ingredient brand, portion size, lighting, and many other factors. Every estimate carries inherent uncertainty.
Toast surfaces this uncertainty wherever practical — for example, by showing a likely range alongside an estimate, or by labelling values as "approximate." Treat the numbers as guidance, not as a clinical measurement.
Not a substitute for professional advice
You should consult a licensed healthcare professional (a physician, registered dietitian, mental-health professional, etc.) before making any change to your diet, exercise routine, weight goals, or use of supplements, especially if:
- You have any medical condition (including but not limited to diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, eating disorders, or food allergies)
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are under the age of 18
- You take any prescription medication
- You have a history of disordered eating
If any of the above apply to you, please obtain professional guidance before relying on Toast.
Not for diagnosis or treatment
Toast cannot diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Do not use Toast as a substitute for professional medical care.
If you experience a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately.
Eating disorders and disordered eating
Toast is designed to help users track meals in support of healthy goals. If you have a history of disordered eating, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or related conditions, calorie-tracking tools can be harmful. Please consult a mental-health professional before using Toast.
