Transparency
What the app does. What it deliberately does not do. And why this distinction matters.
The app makes visible what usually remains hidden in everyday life – not through as many numbers as possible, but through a deliberate and meaningful selection.
It records meals, puts them into context and relates them to one another over days and weeks. This reveals patterns rather than isolated snapshots.
The balance does not judge what was “right” or “wrong”. It shows relationships.
A calorie or nutrient balance is not a verdict. It is an approximation.
A single day says very little. Only over time do meaningful tendencies emerge.
A deficit is not a goal in itself – it is a signal that needs to be understood in context.
Data can be helpful. It can also create a false sense of certainty that leads to pressure rather than clarity.
NBalance.AI therefore works with deliberately limited data sets. Not everything that can be measured is useful. Reduction is not a flaw – it is a conscious decision in favour of clarity.
The reference values and orientations used by the app are based on generally accepted, evidence-based principles of nutritional science.
This includes, among others, recommendations and reference ranges published by recognised institutions such as national and international nutrition societies.
These values define the framework – not as rigid rules, but as orientation. Simplifications are intentional and explicitly stated.
- no diet trends
- no short-term promises
- no daily optimisation
- no gamification
- no standardisation of individual bodies
The app does not replace medical advice. It does not make decisions on behalf of the user. It supports more informed decisions.
Consequence
Knowledge alone does not create change. Change begins where knowledge becomes visible in everyday life.
The app is not mandatory. But without it, much remains abstract. It makes relationships visible – and thus creates the basis for conscious change.
