Question by kroox127: nutrition?
Alright. Through a series of many questions I have learned that my diet of fruits, veggies, cottage cheese, yogurt, and protein shakes is very unhealthy. Will someone give me a balanced plan of what exactly i should be eating at each meal to have essential nutriton, enough calories to work out, and also help my lose weight?

Actually, it is largely healthy. But you might want to add whole grains and a small portion of meat (if you’re not a vegetarian).
Good luck!

My professor assigned this text for my first ever online course. I was worried that with out the lectures that I would have a hard time understanding the material and properly completing my assignments. I found this text easy to understand and very informative. I really enjoy the controverisies at the end of the chapters. It gives you a relatable aspect of what you just read.

Nutrition:Concepts and Controversies has clear wording and extensive descriptions for most of it’s subjects. It explains subjects in a way that is interesting and not just scientific. There are also controversy sections at the end of each chapter which give you both sides of current health arguments.
This book is very helpful outside of class too because there are many charts such as the DRI, UL and BMI that you can use the determine if you are getting adequate nutrients.

I was pleasantly suprised with the quality of this book. I am only about half way through it but it is an easy read, yet it contains a huge amount of information. If you are interested in better understanding of nutrition then this is a good book for you.

Another book purchased for my daughter who needed it for a nutrition class at the “local” state college. She has really enjoyed this book. It is well written and balanced in its comments on various topics that can be controversial for some. One part she found funny was the section on alcohol. The book spend quite a bit of time showing how any alcohol is considered a poison to the human body which tries to eliminate it through various means. Having indicated that there is absolutely nothing positive about using alcohol, the book then ends by recommending that one use it in “moderation.” Still, she speaks highly of this book and I would recommend it to any who are interested in nutrition.

This text is written for lower division students, so the biochemistry, physiology and other science topics are necessarily simplified. However, many of the science explanations are too vague or incomplete to make sense and there are numerous errors of fact. Worse, however, is the fact that the authors of this text give no sense of the controversies in nutrition; instead they present opinions with no evidence. There is much we do not know about nutrition, yet the authors seldom reveal any gaps in our understanding. The authors seem to primarily advocate the diet advice of the American Dietetics Association, which is mainstream but does not represent the range of legitimate views about diet among nutrition scientists.
One example: this text avers that ketosis is a dangerous and abnormal state, and that carbohydrates are necessary for good health. This of course is a controversial contention, given the research on low carbohydrate diets. We simply do not have enough information yet to evaluate the risks and benefits of low carbohydrate diets adequately. Yet the authors of this text blithely list a series of potential ill effects from restricting carbohydrates. What really rankled me though is that there are only 3 references given for these bold claims. I looked them up. One is only marginally relevant to the issue. The other 2 do not support the claims they make about ketosis. This is inexcusable.
So my opinion is that the scholarship in this book is poor, that the text parrots the particular diet recommendations of the American Dietetics Association without providing adequate evidence for these recommendations, and that the very exciting and vigorous controversies ongoing in the world of nutrition science are elided, so as to present the appearance that we actually know the answers to these critical questions.
