Rachel Bennett writes and maintains the food-logging guides on this site for Petros IT Solutions SRL, the publisher of Avocalo. Every guide is worked out against primary sources, such as nutrition labels, public food-composition databases and regulator guidance, and its arithmetic is checked before publication. Illustrative figures are labelled as illustrative in the text that introduces them.
No clinical, dietetic or medical qualification is claimed. These guides explain how food logging works; they are not personal dietary advice. Where a question needs a professional, the guide says so.
