Tracking and education only

Ballast and this website are for tracking and education. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. They never recommend doses, and they do not tell you when or how to change or stop a medication.

Talk to your prescriber

Always follow your prescriber's instructions before you change, lower, or stop any medication. If you have a medical question, symptoms that worry you, or trouble eating, contact your clinician. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Calculators and numbers

Protein and fiber figures on this site are reference numbers from the sources listed on each page. They are not prescriptions. Follow your clinician if you were given a different target, for example because of a kidney condition.

Results vary

Studies report averages. Your own results can differ, and nothing here promises an outcome.

Editorial review

Pages carry an editorial review line. They are checked for accuracy against the cited sources by the Ballast editorial team. This is not a medical review and not medical advice.
