One topic per page, a drawing that carries it and short boxes with the numbers. Take a look inside:
You read the chapter twice: kcal per gram, glycemic index, glycemic load, % Daily Value... Then you close the book...
...and the numbers and the terms get mixed up. Which one was 9 kcal? What counts as high?
Here, all of Part II fits on one page: what each macronutrient does, its kcal per gram and where to find it, in one table.
You look at it once and it stays, because you have seen it.
First you understand how food works. The numbers come with it.
The journey of food, macronutrients, vitamins and minerals, energy, eating well, life stages and sports, and the myths: 58 pages, all illustrated
Picture this:
Instead of rereading three pages on digestion and still not knowing what happens where...
...you see the whole journey of food drawn: every stop, from the mouth to the large intestine, on one page.
And the Nutrition Facts label, MyPlate and energy expenditure become pictures you can redraw on the exam. You stop repeating and start understanding.
That is exactly what Nutrition Illustrated does.
It is not “just another PDF”. It is 7 parts and 53 illustrated topics, plus a glossary of the key words.
Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.
From the mouth to the large intestine, the liver and pancreas, the microbiome, blood sugar after a meal, and hunger and fullness.
Carbs, fiber and the glycemic index, protein, fats, omega-3 and omega-6, cholesterol, water, and all of Part II in one table.
Water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, iron, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and salt and sodium.
Calories, basal metabolism, total energy expenditure, energy balance, energy reserves and the limits of BMI.
MyPlate, the Mediterranean diet, U.S. serving sizes, food labels and the Nutrition Facts panel, dates, processing and food safety.
Pregnancy, childhood, older adults, eating for training, and what supplements can and cannot do.
Four myths you see online, each checked against how the body really works.
At the end, a glossary with the key words in alphabetical order, to review before your exam.
