Plate Balance

Foods tumble down five lanes — one per food group. Catch them into the right groups to meet each target without overloading any single one.

How to play

Each lane is a food group: grains, vegetables, fruits, protein and dairy. Foods fall from the top; steer the falling item to the correct lane and drop it so every group fills toward its target band. Overload a group past its maximum and the excess spills for a penalty. Hit all five targets within the calorie budget to balance the plate.

• Every group has a minimum and maximum target band to reach.
• Overfilling a group spills portions and costs points.
• A calorie budget caps how much you can stack overall.

Controls

• Desktop: tap a column to slot there, or use Left/Right arrows to move and Space to drop.
• Phone & tablet: tap the column you want — fully touch-friendly.

Game modes

• Daily: a shared seeded set of targets.
• Practice: fresh randomized targets each round.

Tips & strategy

• Fill the groups with the highest minimums first so you don't run out of budget.
• Stop slotting a group once it's in band — extra portions only spill.
