All of us have struggled to decipher the long list of ingredients and recommendations on our food labels. How do we leverage this important information?

This course is designed to give you a deeper understanding of labeling standards, along with tips and tricks for estimating healthy portion sizes. It was created by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), which for over 30 years has built its reputation on evidence-based recommendations that adhere to rigorous scientific standards.

After successfully completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand and summarize food and supplement labels
  • Appreciate the impact that various ingredients have on our nutritional goals
  • Speak intelligently about proper portion sizes

The content in this course was developed for NASM’s Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC) program. If you’re interested in learning more about nutrition, check out our online nutrition courses.
