I’ve now been working as a dietitian for just over 10 years. I wanted to reflect on my top 10 favourite books in my field that I’ve read in the last 10 years. Of course I could list more… but these have been some absolute stand outs for me!

I’d recommend all of them to any dietitian or any dietetics student. For the general pop who have an interest in nutrition – I’d suggest that ‘Food Politics’ and ‘Gut’ are both insightful and interesting reads. For athletes looking for some advice on sports nutrition (without it being too technical or science-y), I’d suggest ‘The Complete Guide to Food for Sports Performance’.

Happy reading!!!
