Real World Nutrition News You Can Use
There is a lot of misinformation about nutrition. And nothing in this field is black-or-white, yes-or-no, but many shades of gray and a lot of “it depends.” So, my goal is to help clear up some of that misinformation with some snark, entertainment, and facts (with some opinion thrown in).
Many of these topics come from interactions with the public, friends, clients, and students. I see sheer misinformation about the science of nutrition, and I do my best to clear things up one blog post at a time.
If you have a topic you are wondering about, let me know.

Muscle Weighs More Than Fat, Right?
Does muscle weigh more than fat?
No, it does not.
You have probably heard this and may have even said it. In your life: "muscle weighs more than fat."
NOT true.
People will argue with me about this, I get push-back on this, and you may have already given up reading this because I am wrong. But I am not.
