Terms of use

Last updated September 25, 2026

By using ProteinPlates (“we”, “us”), you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Education only, not medical advice

Everything on this site, including our calculators, guides, and restaurant picks, is general information for education. It is not medical, nutrition, or fitness advice for you, and it doesn’t replace a doctor or a registered dietitian. Talk to one before you change your diet, especially if you are pregnant, under 18, have a health condition such as kidney disease or diabetes, or take medicine. Read our full medical disclaimer.

Nutrition data

We take restaurant nutrition numbers from each chain’s own published information where we can. When a chain doesn’t publish a number, we either leave it blank or, for some items, use a third-party source, which we label on the page. Chains change recipes, portions, and menus, and they differ by country and region, so the numbers may not match what you’re served. We show the date we last checked each source. See how we check our data.

Calculators are estimates

Our calculators use published formulas and the numbers you enter. The results are estimates for an average person and can be wrong for you. Some results, like calories for a different number of pieces or minutes to burn off a meal, are worked out from other numbers, and we say so on the page.

Restaurant names and trademarks

Restaurant names, menu item names, and brands on this site belong to their owners. We use them only to describe what’s on their menus. ProteinPlates is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any restaurant we write about.

Photos

Photos on our guides are free photos from Unsplash, used under the Unsplash License and credited to each photographer on the page. Photos are for illustration and may not show the exact menu item.

Links and affiliate links

We link to restaurant websites, research, and other sites we don’t control. Their terms and privacy policies apply when you visit them. Some links in the future may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission. We label those links clearly, and they don’t change our rankings or advice.

Using our content

You’re welcome to link to any page and to share your calculator results. Please don’t copy large parts of the site, republish our data tables, or scrape the site without written permission.

No guarantees

We work hard to keep the site accurate and available, but we provide it “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t responsible for any loss or harm that comes from using the site or relying on its information. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the law where you live.

Changes

We may update these terms. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date above. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
