Best way to learn NUTRIENT SOURCES?????

[Jado0114]

Does anyone know of a good way to learn the best SOURCES of carbs, proteins, and each of the vitamins??

We are doing the nutrition unit in my class right now and I just feel overwhelmed with figuring out how I'm going to learn/remember the best sources for certain nutrients!

Are there any neat tricks to help remember??

HELPPP!! This is the LAST thing I want to stress about! LOL!

WE have to learn that too but not till the end and its a self study unit:uhoh3:

Then the begining of next semster we get an ERI on it. So its a huge deal at our school but its never actually taught!! So I will be trying to self teach in Nov.

Any good ways to learn ..Im looken for ideas too!!

Best of luck to you :balloons:

I have something called Nutri Notes that I found very helpful. It is a pocket sized book that breaks things down into charts and shows you good sources of lots of different vitamins, etc. It also contains different diets and nutritional requirements for adult & ped clients. It has helped me A LOT with the nutrition & fluid/electrolyte content of class.
