Where the guidance comes from
Modern nutrition
Plate patterns are taken from public pages by Harvard, MyPlate, NIH, CDC, FDA, and the NHS. LifeZoi does not calculate a personal disease risk from them.
Protein and calories
The general adult RDA used here is 0.8 g of protein per kg of body weight per day. A range of 1.2–1.6 g/kg/day is shown only as a reference for suitable adults, not as a prescription. The resting calorie estimate uses the Mifflin–St Jeor equation when age, height, weight, the equation’s female or male form, and an activity level are present. Activity multipliers are common estimates, not a measurement of your day. Food numbers are scaled from USDA FoodData Central per-100-gram values and are labeled as estimates.
Ayurveda
Doshas are traditional descriptions. They are not medically validated biological classes. LifeZoi does not assign or diagnose a dosha, and it does not use weight or a medical condition to do so. NCCIH: Ayurvedic medicine
New England seasons
Season cards are examples, not a harvest guarantee.
