Calories, vitamins, and superfoods — how well do you really know nutrition?
Calories, vitamins, and superfoods — how well do you really know nutrition?
According to the World Health Organization, poor nutrition contributes to roughly 11 million deaths per year globally, making dietary choices one of the most impactful factors in long-term health. Yet studies consistently show that most people overestimate their nutritional knowledge — confusing marketing claims with science and mistaking trendy superfoods for balanced eating. This quiz separates fact from fiction across macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and modern diet trends.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore how macronutrients fuel your body, which vitamins and minerals you actually need, how to read food labels like a pro, the science behind hydration and fiber, why some fats are essential and others harmful, evidence-based facts about popular diets like Mediterranean and intermittent fasting, and the truth about so-called superfoods.
The average adult needs about 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day, but your ideal intake depends on age, sex, weight, height, and activity level. The FDA uses 2,000 calories as a general reference for daily nutrition labels.
Your body needs 13 essential vitamins: A, C, D, E, K, and the eight B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12). Most people can get adequate amounts through a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
Research consistently highlights leafy greens, berries, fatty fish (like salmon and sardines), nuts, legumes, and whole grains as among the most nutrient-dense foods. Rather than focusing on single "superfoods," nutrition scientists recommend eating a wide variety of whole, minimally processed foods.
