Health disclaimer

Burnly gives general information and guidance about food and exercise. It is not medical, dietetic, psychological or fitness advice, and it doesn't diagnose or treat any condition.

Talk to a professional first if you

• have a medical condition, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease;
• take medicines that affect your weight, appetite or heart;
• are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18;
• have, or have had, an eating disorder;
• have an injury, or answered yes to any question in the exercise health check.

About the numbers

Calorie and nutrient values, targets, and weight-change estimates come from standard formulas, published data and AI estimates. They're approximate. Your needs may differ. Steps, calories burned, sleep and weight from connected apps are estimates from those devices and apps; Burnly shows them for information and doesn't add burned calories to your food budget.

Allergies

Burnly checks every food suggestion against the foods you tell it to avoid, including food groups like dairy, gluten and nuts, and leaves them out or warns you. These are careful checks, not a guarantee: names and menus don't always say what's in a dish. Always check ingredient lists and product labels, and tell restaurants about allergies.

Exercise

Start gently, warm up, and stop if you feel pain, dizziness, chest pain or shortness of breath. Exercises that load an injury you listed switch to a gentler version, but Burnly can't see how you move: check with a doctor or physio first. Videos linked from Burnly come from other sites; check your form carefully.

Activities

Facts about a place or event in an activity guide come from a web search and may be wrong or out of date, and conditions change. Check with the park, operator or organiser before you go. A guide is not a substitute for a licensed guide, local advice or your doctor.

In an emergency

If you're unwell or in danger, call your local emergency number (000 in Australia) straight away. If you're struggling, talk to someone: in Australia, Lifeline is available on 13 11 14.
