NUTRITION QUIZ
How much do you really know about protein? Ten questions a round, four options each, exactly one correct. Every answer comes with the reasoning behind it, so a wrong guess still teaches you something.
BASICS
Which macronutrient has the highest thermic effect of food?
Roughly 20 to 30% of protein's calories are burned just digesting and processing it, versus about 5 to 10% for carbohydrate and 0 to 3% for fat.
One question at a time
No timer, no streak pressure inside a round. Just a question, four options, and an explanation waiting on the other side of your answer.
Nutrition, food sources, digestion, the science, and the myths. One question per screen, nothing else competing for attention.
Exactly one option is correct, and the four are shuffled on every deal. The right answer never sits in the same place twice.
Your answer locks in, the correct one is revealed, and a short explanation tells you why. Get six of ten and you win the round.
The question bank
Play as many rounds as you like. Each one is dealt at random from a growing bank, written to teach rather than to trick, with a good few questions there to clear up advice that has been repeated so often it sounds true.
The part most quizzes skip
A tick or a cross tells you nothing. Protein IQ gives you the reason, so the fact sticks and you can repeat the argument later.
Nearly all of a large dose is absorbed. The 30 gram figure confuses absorption with the plateau in muscle protein synthesis.
Controlled studies find no kidney damage in healthy people on high intakes. The restriction advice is for existing kidney disease, and it got over-generalised.
Soy, quinoa, buckwheat and amaranth all supply the nine essential amino acids. The rule has real exceptions.
Two boards, no combined score
Sign in with Google and you appear on two independent rankings. Both are cumulative, so nothing resets after a round, and a round you lost still adds the questions you got right.
How many rounds you have won, needing six correct out of ten each time. Consistency, not one lucky set.
Every question you have answered right, whether you won that round or not. Volume and accuracy over time.
In the app
A round takes a couple of minutes. You will probably learn something in the first one.
Protein IQ is nutrition education, not medical or dietary advice. Talk to a qualified professional before changing your diet, especially if you have a health condition.
