Ah the critical distinction is paying attention to your body is not the same thing as buying a book. As per OPs comment, I used to lift, its good exercise, and I saw plenty of demonstrations of data gathering technique and analysis.
I wouldn't go that far... Nutrition 'science' is quite valid, the only problem is the amount of people in the nutrition space who aren't actually doing 'science'.
> People who pay very close attention to their own habits and results are probably going to be more right about their own nutrition than all the scientists in the world put together.
Doubt it. People are often quite irrational about these things. Which is why there's so many people who follow fad diets (and buy the books).
