General Educational Purpose

ThePortionLab provides general educational information about portion awareness and nutritional physiology. Our content explains scientific concepts and physiological mechanisms. It is not medical advice, clinical guidance, or professional consultation.

Not Medical Advice

Nothing on ThePortionLab website:

• Diagnoses medical conditions
• Treats disease or injury

No Personal Recommendations

Individual Variation

Significant individual variation exists in how portions are processed and how satiety is experienced. Genetic differences, health status, medications, and personal physiology create diverse responses to identical portions. What applies to general populations may not apply to any specific individual.

Health Status Considerations

Individuals with medical conditions, taking medications, pregnant or nursing individuals, and those with specific health concerns should not rely on educational content as a substitute for professional medical guidance. Certain conditions fundamentally alter how portions and nutrients are processed.

• Qualified healthcare providers (doctors, physicians)
• Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN)
• Licensed nutritionists in regulated jurisdictions
• Mental health professionals (for eating-related concerns)
