Nutrition books offer advice on fuelling the body through food, as well as tips and ideas for getting more healthful ingredients into our everyday snacks and meals.

PlantYou: Scrappy Cooking is the latest release by bestselling author and social media star Carleigh Bodrug. Her ‘Scrappy Cooking’ social media series launched her to fame, and now this cookbook offers readers more than 150 recipes, all plant-based, and all whole-food. This is a nutrition cookbook that will help you eat more veggies, but also save money at the supermarket and help the environment while you’re at it.

Another beloved nutrition book is Food for Life. It has been dubbed as the no nonsense, no fads guide to healthy eating. It throws calorie counting out the window and instead focuses on nutritional breakdowns, going into detail about different aspects of how we can eat in a way that supports our health. It’s written by professor of genetic epidemiology and consultant physician Tim Spector, who has authored multiple books and won several awards for his work.

For a diet book that turns traditional knowledge and dieting on its head, take a look at The Carnivore Diet. It delves into the science behind why some people are seeing incredible transformations by focusing on meat in their diets. It offers a strategy for incorporating this kind of diet into your lifestyle, and discusses some of the problems people have when making the transition (and how to tackle them).

My Mediterranean Life offers a more traditional approach to dieting, with recipes and stories from clinical nutritionist and author Sarah Di Lorenzo. It includes more than 200 recipes, each inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, which is heavy on flavour and texture and light (extremely light) on processed ingredients.
