Like Duolingo, but for Everyday Nutrition Science. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
A short one: 12 levels across 2 sections, about 24 minutes end to end, roughly 5 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Assembling the Daily Plate and Navigating Real-World Food Choices. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Everyday Nutrition Science
- Protein provides the essential building blocks for repairing lean tissue and muscle
- Carbohydrates are the body's quickest and most accessible source of everyday energy
- Dietary fats are necessary for manufacturing hormones and maintaining healthy cell membranes
- Protein takes longer to digest and triggers satiety hormones more effectively than other macronutrients
- Dietary fiber slows stomach emptying and stabilizes hunger signals across several hours
- Meals low in protein and fiber leave clients hungry soon after eating, regardless of total calories
- Refined sugars break down rapidly, causing sharp spikes in blood glucose followed by quick energy crashes
- Complex carbohydrates naturally bound with fiber digest slowly, delivering a smooth, sustained release of glucose into the bloodstream
- A nutritionist uses intact, fiber-rich carbs to keep client energy levels stable throughout the day
- Unsaturated fats, found in plant oils, nuts, seeds, and avocados, actively support cardiovascular health
- Industrial trans fats—often listed as partially hydrogenated oils in packaged snacks—drive inflammation and heart risk
- A nutritionist distinguishes dietary fats by their source and structure rather than labeling all fat as bad
- A balanced default plate fills half the area with non-starchy vegetables like greens, broccoli, or peppers
- One quarter of the plate is reserved for protein sources such as fish, chicken, tofu, or legumes
- The remaining quarter is dedicated to complex carbs or starchy roots like brown rice, quinoa, or sweet potatoes
- Nutrient density compares the amount of beneficial vitamins, minerals, and compounds to the total calories supplied
