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