I am wondering what is the name of the people (profession) who identify the nutrition and ingredients of food.
On the food packets, we see "Nutrition facts" and also " ingredients" what is the profession of people who do that?Is it the same profession or two different ones (nutrition and ingredients)
Thanks for your help.
Nutritionist, biochemist, organic chemist all could perform this work.
I have been told that working out your muscles and tearing them and then not getting the proper nutrition is a complete waste of time. I don’t want to workout just to workout, i want to workout to get results. So for anyone experienced, and hopefully you really are experienced, how can i keep a proper nutrition?
I’ve read several times from different sources that women can build about one pound of muscle per months on average when pushing hard for it. In four months, I’ve put on nearly six pounds of muscle (as determined by two types of body-fat analysis done at my gym), so I’m slightly above average as far as adding muscle mass. Here’s what I’ve done nutritionally to make it happen:
–Eat more carbs early in the day, before 2 pm or so. Without plenty of carbs, you won’t have good fuel for a great workout. Carbs fuel the workout. Without plenty of carbs, your workout will be weaker, and your muscles will progress more slowly.
–Eat more proteins later in the day. Also, eat more proteins the day after you lift weights. (Assuming you follow a normal, healthy pattern of about 3x weight-lifting a week, with days in between for recovery.) Proteins build and repair muscle, you need plenty AFTER you work out.
–I try to keep my overall balance of calories as follows: 40% of calories from protein, 40% from carbs, and 20% from fat. Of course, this is the ideal, and I’m not always right on target, but I do make sure that protein % never drops below 30 and fat % never goes above 30. (I use http://dailyplate.com to track my food, and it gives the break-down of protein/carbs/fat automatically. There are complicated formulas you can use to figure it out by hand… but why, when there are online services for that?)
–Most important is not a nutrition thing, but it is important for building muscle: SLEEP. Get a solid 8 hours at least every night. Also, I’ve read a lot of research supporting the idea that allowing yourself to sleep in a few extra hours on weekends or days off can truly help repay sleep you lost during the work week. You, like I, have probably experienced this before as well. Getting plenty of rest is crucial to allowing your muscles to mend themselves– it could possibly be even more important than getting enough protein.
I am thinking about opening a nutrition store and I was wondering the cost to start off a company. Ex gnc, nutri zone. Which franchise tends to be more successful?
As of 2009, Entrepreneur.com estimated the average start up cost of new nutrition store at about $158,500. Choosing to open a franchise offers immediate brand recognition but has a very high start up cost. Opening your own store can lower that start up cost but may take longer to develop a consistent, recognizable and profitable brand. Consider what already exists in the market, and whether you need to offer something completely new with your own store, or whether a franchise store will effectively reach your target market.
Hi. I am from Pakistan. I have done Masters of Sciences in Food and Nutrition. I am interested in pursuing education in US. I wanted to know about some good nutrition programs that have specialization in dietetics. I have searched around the net and found NYU’s Nutrition and Dietetics. I wanted to know that what is the average GPA in this program. Also kindly refer me some good schools for nutrition.
with masters u dont need GPA. apply for PhD
I already know all about excercise. I’ve been working out for 2 years but it’s been pointless cause all i do is stuff my face with foods that won’t benefit me. So what i need is a nutrition plan that will help me loose weight and gain muscle. I live in the city so it should be pretty easy for me to find foods.
It really is as simple a moving more and eating less.
I was wondering what some of the effects of nutrition are on the baby and the mother… This is for an assignment for my Parenting Class.
Nutrition is…. good.
Do your own research, seriously. A vague question isn’t going to get you a good answer.
And who would I contact in my school district to start or join a nutrition committee in the district?
In the food services dept. there should be a dietitian or other specialist in nutrition to comply with federal and state laws about nutrition. Usually there is an office designated for that person to work out of, who is ‘in charge’ of the cafeteria workers and what they make.
I have completed all of my undergraduate coursework and have just applied to nursing school. After I graduate nursing school and become an RN, I am planning on applying to a masters program (either a nurse anesthesia or nurse practitioner program).
Are there any careers out there that combine both nutrition and nursing? Especially ones that require a masters degree? I have a HUGE passion for nutrition and would love to incorporate that into my profession.
Any ideas?
I finished a nursing program, as this is where my passion lays. However, I encourage everyone to look into a better field. Nursing has no shortage and there are literally NO jobs. I am in NYC and know BSN nurses who have been out of work for almost a year. When you DO find a job, 9 times out of 10, it will be abusive. Nurses have to deal with an incredible amount of stress, harassment, bullying, and degradation.
This is coming straight from the nurses mouth. If you have any level of self-respect, you will absolutely regret your decision to go into nursing. The suffering is tremendous and most nurses have conditioned themselves to accept the abuse. They are in flat out denial and will viciously defend their career. I am humble enough to say that I LOVE helping my patients, don’t mind the dirty work, but I actually have a self esteem and realize that, in this field, human beings are treated well below their worth and it’s not natural, nor healthy.
Here are a few fields that I have personally researched and very few people are aware of them. They are currently stable and will BOOM incredibly in the next few years as we have about 60,000,000 baby boomers retiring:
- Occupational Therapy Assistant…go for your COTA (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant)- average salary $50,000-$65,000/year to start.
-Physical Therapy Assistant- average salary $40,000-55,000/year…but they are needed a little more than COTAs because most people do not want to go to school for PTA. It’s a little more difficult of a program and you usually don’t go back for your Bachelors. You would make this your career. It has a HIGH rate of job satisfaction, though.
-Health Information Technologies- $50,000-$100,000/year (depending on how large your facility is and what state it’s in). Ask yourself, HOW many people do you know that specialize in this? That’s right, probably NONE. Why? It’s a newer major that was created as health care expands/grows and systems are being updated. Being a computer major will not be enough. Hospitals and Health Care institutions have elaborate billing/coding/medical systems that are updated CONSTANTLY and they need someone who has the specific knowledge to handle them.
-Health Care Administration- $40,000-$85,000/year. This is the person that RUNS the show, per se. They have a vast knowledge of codes, laws, policies, and some payroll and human resource experience. They are the go-to people when there are questions to be asked…they are the jack of all trades. Desk job= LESS harassment, stress, bullying. But don’t be fooled, you will have to put in effort and actually know your stuff…very rewarding once you do.
-Diagnostic Sonographer- $35,000-$75,000 This person is trained to look for cancerous masses, cysts, etc. Very rewarding career, works alongside doctor and saves that doctor a DRASTIC amount of money.
I’m just saying..keep your options open.You don’t have to go into Health Care..you can do whatever you want! 
Have a great day and feel free to message me if you would like!
I threw away the wrapper so I don’t know how to get the nutrition facts of the sandwich, and I have tried to look it up and I guess it’s not registered. I would be delighted if someone has this information. Thanks you! =]

Carbohydrate food can get full and they are cheap, but it does not have nutrition. I heard meat has lots of nutrition and it can make stomach full, so I eat meat. But they cost lot, and tastes get board.
Potato’s are super healthy. They have carbs, protein, and a ton of vitamins! Tomato’s, squash, and sweet potato also are highly nutritious and yummy! I like meat too though. A nice steak would be great to go with the potato.
