Ask HN: What are the best books on health and diet tailored towards students?
I'm still in college and only have enough money to get by (exaggerating a bit here), and I'd like to improve my diet.
There seems to be plenty of books covering this topic. Yet it also seems to me that most of them aren't tailored towards people with a limited budget and/or are strict on what you should or shouldn't eat (for example gluten free diets etc). So I'd like to ask people here to give me some good suggestions, thanks in advance.

Maybe look at university department pages to see what kind of research they're publishing, or look at at their course offering to read the same material such as: https://online.usc.edu/programs/master-of-science-in-nutriti... they're using the book 'Gropper. Advanced Nutrition & Human Metabolism 7th ed' in some of the courses.
For cheap food I buy shares in a community supported agriculture (CSA) program that delivers food weekly through the season.
You'll learn quickly about how diet affects your performance and recovery time. And then you'll understand how the food you eat affects your body.
--Avoid sugary drinks.
--Avoid desert foods like cake, donuts, etc.
--Don't over eat.
Good 2 go 4 life.
