What do you think of when you hear the word "diet?" Minimized food consumption in the service of weight loss? Fat-free cookies? Salads for dinner? Eating specific foods to reduce or prevent chronic disease? Or, do you think simply of your daily eating habits? In this module, you will learn the basics of nutrition as it applies to all of the above conceptions of "diet" namely general nutrition for health, nutrition for weight loss and nutrition for chronic disease management. By the time you've finished this lesson you should be able to answer the following questions at the drop of a hat:

Fat contributes more than twice as much -- about 9 calories per gram. Foods that are high in fat are also high in calories.

How can I put this information to use?
