The BurnWeek blog is written and published by Fit Labs OÜ, the team behind BurnWeek — an AI calorie and protein tracker that shows honest ranges instead of false precision. The same principle governs this blog: we would rather tell you what the evidence actually supports, with its uncertainty attached, than hand you a confident number that isn't earned.
How articles are made#
Every article starts with research, not writing. We locate the primary, peer-reviewed studies on a question first — PubMed-indexed papers, regulatory texts, and systematic reviews — and the article is drafted around what they actually found. Claims that we could not anchor to a verifiable source do not ship.
Drafting is AI-assisted. We use AI tools to research, structure, and draft articles, and every article discloses this in the note at the end of the page. Before publishing, each article passes through:
- A citation gate. Every reference is machine-resolved against its live source; a single dead or unverifiable reference quarantines the whole article until it is fixed.
- Human review. The BurnWeek team reads each article for accuracy, honest framing of effect sizes, and claims that overreach their sources, before it is published.
Evidence standards#
- We cite primary sources — studies, systematic reviews, and regulatory documents — not other blogs summarizing them.
- Numbered citations in the text link to the full reference list at the end of each article, where every entry links out to the original source.
- Where the evidence gives a range, we report the range. We do not round uncertainty into fake precision — in our articles or in our app.
- Articles show their published date and, when materially revised, an updated date.
Corrections#
If you find an error — a misread study, a broken reference, a number that doesn't hold up — email support@maxfit.ee and we will review it promptly. Confirmed errors are fixed in place and the article's updated date reflects the revision.
Not medical advice#
Articles on this blog are general information about nutrition science and food tracking. They are not medical advice, and they are not a substitute for guidance from a qualified clinician who knows your situation.
