About Healthy Meal Plate
Who we are, what we publish, and the boundaries we hold ourselves to.
Healthy Meal Plate is a health and nutrition information website. We publish practical, everyday articles on food, fitness, prevention and wellbeing — organised by topic so you can find what’s relevant to you — alongside free tools built on published CDC and USDA data.
What we are — and what we are not
What we are
- A health and nutrition information site — articles on food, fitness, prevention and everyday wellbeing
- Free tools built on published CDC and USDA data
- Honest about where content comes from, including its limits
What we are not
- A medical provider, diagnostic service or medical device
- A substitute for a physician or registered dietitian
- A source of individualised or therapeutic medical advice
How our articles are made
Health and nutrition articles are written for a general audience and published to the site automatically. They are not independently reviewed by a medical professional before publication — every article carries the same plain disclaimer: general education, not individualised medical advice. If something reads as inaccurate or unclear, we want to know — see the Help Centre for how to report it.
Free tools
Alongside the articles, we offer two free tools built on data published by official sources rather than figures we calculated ourselves: an adult BMI calculator that reports against the CDC’s published weight categories, and a nutrition checker that reads directly from USDA FoodData Central. See both tools.
