PracticalPlate is an independent educational resource dedicated to explaining the science of balanced nutrition and weight science in clear, accessible terms.
Our mission is straightforward: provide evidence-based information about how nutrition works, how your body processes food, and the factors that influence energy balance and body composition.
We describe how nutrition science works, what research shows about food and energy, and the factors that affect body weight science. We don't provide personal dietary recommendations or weight-related advice.
Our content is grounded in nutritional science and research, presented in language that's straightforward and accessible. We avoid marketing claims and focus on factual explanation.
PracticalPlate operates as an independent educational site. We're not promoting any particular diet, product, or commercial service. We're here to explain the science.
Nutrition science recognises that individual circumstances vary. We explain general principles while acknowledging that personalised advice requires consultation with qualified professionals.
We believe that understanding nutrition science helps people make informed choices about their own health. Education and explanation are different from advice and prescription.
By presenting clear, factual information about how food, energy, and body science work, we aim to contribute to a more informed public understanding of these topics.
