Get Ahead with Whitney/Rolfes' Understanding Nutrition

Complete and Relevant

The early chapters introduce the nutrients and their work in the body, and the later chapters apply that information to people's lives.

Highlights

Every chapter is followed by a highlight that provides readers with an in-depth look at a current, and often controversial, topic that relates to its companion chapter.

Diet Tracking

'Nutrition Portfolio' sections in each chapter invite you to evaluate your own dietary choices and set healthy goals through activities in the Diet and Wellness Plus digital app, for a truly personal perspective on nutrition.

'How To' Tasks

These in-text sections help you develop practical skills, such as calculating energy intake from carbohydrate, fat, and protein. A 'Try It' activity follows each section for plenty of practice.

I had to have this book for my college course of Nutrition. But the book was so expensive that i did not want to buy it and I only bought online access code first. However after working through the middle of the semester I decided to buy the whole book for my own personal reference because it has an amazing amount of information. And it is very thick, hard cover, ton of objective information, really worth the money.

I’m not going to review the book itself because i ordered the book for school, not my leisure. The book came with all its pages and they are still very neat even though it was used. For the price I’m very greatful being a college student books are REALLY expensive. At my school it was 125 and on Amazon 25. I took pics of before and after i put the pages in the binder. Very neat very clean no writing in the book no missing pages . Of course with the price it never came with the online part.
