Health reporter Carol Ann Rinzler has produced a comprehensive volume ideal for both occasional reference and a more in-depth introduction to nutrition. Nutrition for Dummies discusses vitamins, minerals, fat content, carbohydrates, and more, prescribing practical ways to incorporate more nutritious eating into everyday life. Particularly helpful is the nutrient chart in the back of the book, which includes extensive nutritional information (gleaned from the USDA Nutrient Database) about hundreds of foods and instructions for accessing the entire database via the Web.
Book Description:
You’ve been hearing it since you were a little kid: “You are what you eat.” But unlike most of the adages you’ve long since debunked, this wise saying is true! Good nutrition is the key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and lifelong good health—no matter how you slice it.
This edition of Nutrition for Dummies has been updated with the latest revisions of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, new recommended daily allowances for all the nutrients a healthy body needs, plus the real low-down on all the conflicting opinions about vitamins and minerals, protein, fats, and carbs. You’ll discover how to:
- Interpret nutrition labels
- Prepare delicious, healthy meals
- Keep nutrients in food, even after cooking
- Eat smart when eating out
- Evaluate dietary supplements
Nutrition for Dummies, Fourth Edition, is a one-size-fits-all guide to nutrition for anyone who may have fallen asleep in health class, wants to brush up on what they already know, or is looking to keep up-to-speed on all the latest guidelines and research. It shows you how to manage your diet so you can get the most bang (nutrients) for your buck (calories) and gives you the skinny on how to put together a healthy shopping list, how to prepare foods that are good for the body and the soul, and ten easy ways you can cut calories.
An apple a day may not necessarily keep the doctor away, but with the simple guidance of Nutrition for Dummies, you can live happily—and healthily—ever after.

Excellent! by A. Fabling
Perfect for people who don’t know the first thing about nutrition (my husband) and for people just wanting to brush up on their nutrition knowledge (me). I love “For Dummies” books!
health by Michael K. Savage
Great book I thought. I wanted information on how to eat better. I thought the information was great for my background in nutrition.
Huge range of information by Heather Arturo
This book is packed with a huge range of information about living gluten free and resources, but still stays enjoyable and easy to understand
Amazing amount of information by carl169
This book packs an amazing amount of information into one package. It has just about everything you ever wanted to know about nutrition but had to read sixteen books to find before. Terrific!
