The Matbakh (thematbakh.com) is owned and operated by Amooni Media LLC ("The Matbakh," "we," "us," or "our"). This Nutritional Information Disclosure explains how we handle nutritional information on the Site and what you should keep in mind before relying on it.

Estimated, Not Exact

Where nutritional information (such as calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, sugar, sodium, or other values) appears alongside a recipe, it is an estimate only. These figures are typically calculated using third-party nutrition calculators and databases and are provided as a courtesy and general guideline.

Nutritional values can vary - sometimes significantly - based on factors including:

  • The specific brands, cuts, or varieties of ingredients used
  • Ingredient substitutions, swaps, or omissions
  • Exact portion and serving sizes
  • Cooking methods and preparation techniques
  • Rounding and differences between nutrition calculator databases

Because of this, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy of any nutritional information provided on the Site, and it should not be treated as a precise or certified figure.

Not Medical, Dietetic, or Professional Health Advice

The recipes, articles, and other content on The Matbakh - including references to the Mediterranean diet, macro tracking, or our "eating joy" philosophy - are shared for general informational and entertainment purposes only. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition, and they do not constitute medical, dietetic, nutritional, or professional health advice of any kind.

Lilian Guidry, the creator of The Matbakh, is not a registered dietitian, nutritionist, or medical doctor, and content on the Site should not be understood as coming from one.

Please Consult a Professional

Before making any changes to your diet, nutrition, or exercise routine - and especially if you are pregnant or nursing, have a food allergy or intolerance, have diabetes or another medical condition, or are taking medication - please consult a physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare provider. You, and only you, are responsible for evaluating whether a recipe or piece of content on this Site is appropriate for your individual needs.

Allergens and Ingredients

Recipes on the Site may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including but not limited to nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat/gluten, soy, sesame, and shellfish. We do our best to note key ingredients, but we cannot guarantee that any recipe is free of a particular allergen, and we are not responsible for verifying the ingredients, packaging, or labeling of any product you use. Always read product labels and check with the manufacturer directly if you have questions about a specific ingredient.

No Liability

By using this Site, you agree that The Matbakh and Amooni Media LLC are not liable for any adverse reaction, health outcome, allergic reaction, or other damage or loss - direct or indirect - resulting from the preparation, use, or consumption of any recipe or reliance on any nutritional or health-related information found on the Site.
