This booklet, available for bundling with the text, contains an extensive food composition table as well as a visual portion size chart, information on interpreting food labels, and aids to calculation.
The only guff I have with this is that it's misleading in what form this text comes. I know it's paperback, but I expect a thicker textbook like material. It's more like a booklet which is totally fine because it's EXACTLY what I'm looking for!
Informative Text

Book gives a good overview of the science behind nutrition. Way better then other books I have purchased. Contains interesting case studies that allow one to read about how nutritional intervention can help and also how nutrition plays into many diseases/conditions. Wasn't too difficult to read, lots of pictures definitely helped. Overall, an excellent introductory text to nutritional science.
Tasty

I bought this book for class and I would say it really helps a lot in a way that it gives more explanations and more details about things that are not discussed in class. Because usually teachers do require reading and details that are not covered in class would still be on the test. And, some teachers do not explain some things very well, so reading this book helps in understanding the theory.
