American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide
$24.95
This comprehensive guide is like having a complete set of "The Encyclopedia of Nutrition" on my bookshelf. It's not a book to be read like a novel, but has chapters and sections to refer to over a period of time on whatever your interest is that week. If you want a resource for healthy eating in general--or specifically for elderly people or for baby--if you want accurate information on vegetarianism or taking supplements or to look up the symptoms of an eating disorder. If you're looking for tips on savvy shopping or what the heck trans fats are anyway... This book covers it!
In addition to the chapters there are resources at the back of the book where you can find more specific information on a variety of topics. Charts and tables are provided for easy access to look up facts and figures such as the daily value tables.
This comprehensive reference book was not only written by a registered dietitian, but she was commissioned by the American Dietetic Association to write it. That means you can rely on this book for accurate information backed by science, provided by an agency whose mission it is to promote optimal nutrition, health, and well-being.

The Book came in great condition. however the wording is very fundamental and the illustrations are not up to par!

Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating
$15.99
Absolutely the best nutrition guide I have found outside the classroom (even a great supplement inside the classroom). Has current data unlike some that are out-dated, talks about the results and doesn't just list them, and is really in-depth and thorough. Also has some really amazing recipes in the back that I use all the time now. I think that just by looking at this book on amazon you are interested in learning more and in that case this book is for YOU! I wish everyone would read this that way all the nutritional myths major marketing companies spend millions on can be debunked. I recommend it

Contemporary Nutrition, Updated Sixth Edition
$2.99
Everything I needed to know about nutrition for my Health Science degree, plus a little bit more for general interest. I enjoy reading this despite it being a text book, which is unusual for me. Good clear references, great defintions, and good everyday examples I can relate to. I have been really pleased with this purchase, This is one text book I will hang onto.
