Thread: Dieting and Understanding Macronutrient Resources

Just wondering if any of you guys knew of good resources for learning and understanding dieting and macronutrients, etc. for newbies. It's not for me, but I am giving a health-related speech tomorrow and would like to close by passing out a list of resources for newbies to read up on.

This includes books and websites.

Thanks!

This is what I have so far:
