Books about nutrition?

I have been working on changing my eating habits. Trying to eat clean and cut out processed stuff but I want to make sure I am creating good habits and not just replacing bad habits with more bad habits :/

I'm not really sure what portions I should be eating of what things and so on. Any book recommendations you have to help me educate myself would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I recently downloaded onto my ipad kindle app the Jillian Michaels book Slim for Life. Most of it is stuff I've heard before but it a good reminder. You may find it helpful also.

  • honestly... a nutrition textbook might be the best way to go.  there are so many opinions, assumptions and plans out there that it's tough to keep up with what's 'good' and what's not.

    teaching yourself how food actually affects your body systems might help you decide what you want to be eating.

    Being an athlete all my life, I take the "everything in moderation" approach and try to eat fresh, real ingredients as much as possible (aka real sugar and butter instead of fake chemically stuff, fresh produce and meat instead of packaged, water and fresh juice instead of sugar-filled chemical crap, etc).  As far as portions -- I try to balance it evenly as much as possible, with an emphasis on fruits and veggies.
