Food variety self-checklist

An informal reflection tool about everyday eating habits—not a clinical test or diagnosis.

Before you begin

This quiz reflects everyday eating patterns: how often you include vegetables, whether you spread protein through the day, and how you hydrate in Australian weather. Answers are scored for general reflection only. Results do not diagnose deficiencies, predict weight change, or replace advice from your GP or dietitian.

Answer based on a typical week, not your best day or your most chaotic one. Honest responses produce more useful talking points if you book a consultation afterward.

Quiz: diet balance checklist

1. How many vegetable colours do you eat on most days?
2. Where does most of your protein appear?
3. Whole grains and legumes in your week?
4. Sugary drinks (soft drink, large juices)?
5. Water intake through the day?
6. Fish or plant omega-3 sources?

What your answers might suggest

Higher variety scores usually mean you are covering more micronutrients without thinking about pills. Lower scores highlight one lever—add lunch vegetables, swap a soft drink for sparkling water, or plan a fish night. Pick one change for two weeks before stacking more.

Population research links diverse plant intake with favourable gut microbiome patterns, but individual responses differ. Use results as conversation starters in our lifestyle sessions, not as labels.
