Websites on nutrition

Does anyone know any good websites where I can get information about nutrition. I want to be better informed about nutrition, from a reputable site rather than just google it.

Depends on what you mean. nutritiondata.self.com has info like MFP does but is not crowdsourced, so it can generally always be trusted, unlike those entries for McDonalds that say the fries are 8 calories.

If you're looking for information on understanding nutrition in general, I'd start with liamrosen.com/fitness.html, which has a great section on diet and is very concise.

If you're needing information on a specific topic, ask here.

Yeh on the forums you'll get opinions rather than facts.

It might be vegan-plant-based orientated and a little biased but it does use peer reviewed research.

This link is one of the best things I have read in a while! It needs to be a sticky. I saved it to share with others and in case I ever need a reminder.
