Nutrition Courses

TechnoFreek

Hi guys,
 
Just wondering can anyone recommend courses for nutrition etc that can be done online?
 
I've gotten into the gym over the past 18 months and I also have my food in order but I've actually really gotten interested in how the nutritional side works - how food is composed, the affect on the body, X foods for X results etc
 
Normally I just meet a personal trainer every now and again and discuss my diet with them but I would like to try take it a step further and know this stuff for myself.
 
Also getting some sort of qualification would be nice and have something to work from if I ever did decide to take things further.
 
I'm really only starting out my investigations so all advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

There is little true and a lot of myths in school/courses. I didn't gain anything from the courses, just did it to have qualification, that's all.
Most common myths:
Calories count
Carbs are main source of energy
Saturated fats are bad/ Unsaturated are good
etc

Edit: Try e-learn uk for any courses

10,000? probably some athletes would consume that amount of food
but you can easily eat 3,000 - 5,000 calories and still loose weight

Pennington's diet had 3,000 and people still would reduce there weight:

When I want to loose some weight I'm going on low carb and high fat
