Diet Courses

Diet courses can help you learn nutritional science, meal planning, dietary guidelines, and the impact of food on health. You can build skills in analyzing food labels, understanding macronutrients and micronutrients, and creating balanced meal plans tailored to individual needs. Many courses introduce tools like dietary tracking apps, food databases, and meal prep techniques to help you apply what you learn in everyday life.
