Here's why i think Precision Nutriton is the best process & place to learn about nutrition for health & body comp goals. And here's a free 40page+ ebook overview of the approach.

For folks interested in intermittent fasting, folks i trust keep recommedning Eat Stop Eat.
If you're wondering what zhealth is,
Gymboss
Lighter, smaller and less risky stuck on a rack at the gym or taped to a wall than your phone as an interval timer for things like,
oh, Viking Warrior Conditioning (overview here)
Lots of folks are interested in ketogenic dieting. The best reference out there is still Lyle McDonald's The Ketogenic Diet Book - helps you make an informed choice if you want to experiment with this approach.
if you work with athletes this is a nice way to be able to point out issues for the athlete to see, as well as to show how much they've improved with your tutelage via side by side comparisons of before and afters.
I also regularly break up the rice with cool stuff like Hemp Protein also from
True Nutrition
either the Extreme (of course extreme) Warrior Force protein or even wilder and somehow crazier just this side of visionary, are the "elite green" proteins. They have sample sizes, too. In GLASS jars. Seriously, i like this stuff a lot. But it's not quite something i can afford as an every day protein. But mm mm mm. weirdly wackily awesome.
