I thought it would be interesting to make a list with links from studies or website you consult about Nutrition. Let's keep it to scientific studies, no M&F stuff if possible ;)

[martina92685]

nutritiondata.com - ahhhhhmazing website for nutritional information for foods. It includes a food's amino acids, nutrient balance, fullness factor, and lots of other stuff for the beginning or advanced nutrition geek.

It is a great place to begin/maintain/and learn, and I swear by it.
