Editable nutrition defaults, explained

FamilyMacro uses WHO/FAO reference material as a source family for editable starting targets. The important product rule is simple: defaults help setup, but household profiles remain reviewable and changeable.

What this page proves

This public note exists so families can inspect the thinking behind FamilyMacro's default goal setup. It is a transparency page for a source map, not a nutrition plan.

01

Defaults stay editable

The dataset policy says generated targets are starting points and can be changed anytime by the user or guardian.

02

Sources are recorded

Profile defaults are designed to keep source id, source version, reference sex, life stage, and assumptions visible to the product.

03

Households stay in control

FamilyMacro is built for shared meal tracking and profile coordination, not hidden or automatic health decisions.

Source family used by the dataset

The source list is intentionally small and explicit. Public links point to the source publisher, while FamilyMacro keeps the app language as reference defaults.

Area Publisher reference Product handling
Energy FAO/WHO/UNU human energy requirements Formula or age-table default, then editable
Protein WHO/FAO/UNU protein and amino acid requirements Safe-intake reference, then editable
Vitamins and minerals WHO/FAO vitamin and mineral requirements Age, sex, and life-stage reference groups
Fat, carbohydrate, sugar WHO global nutrient requirements work Reference family for default setup wording
Sodium and potassium WHO adult and child guideline family Direction-aware defaults, then editable

What it does not claim

FamilyMacro is a household nutrition tracker. It is not a child-health assessment tool, medical device, diagnosis tool, allergy-management system, or replacement for professional advice.

The useful promise is narrower and more practical: families can log shared meals, review estimates, keep separate profiles, and adjust goals when a default does not fit.

Not medical advice

Not a child growth monitor

Not an allergy assessment

Not an automatic diet plan
