I have an instructor who teaches a class called “Nutrition and Diet Therapy”. The traditional “nutrition” texts cover some of the material she needs but she also needs the specific topics below. Does anyone have any ideas? I did a full search online and couldn’t find anything that covers these topics.
On another note, I couldn’t find very many nutrition texts at all (other than flatworld and saylor). Are there other basic nutrition texts that others are using?
14. Illness and Nutrition Care.
15. Medications, Diet-Drug Interactions, and Herbal Supplements.
16. Specialized Nutrition Support: Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition.
17. Foods and Food Consistency for Upper GI Disorders.
18. Fiber-Modified Diets for Lower Gastrointestinal Tract Disorders.
19. Carbohydrate- and Fat-Modified Diets for Malabsorption Disorders.
20. Nutrition Therapy for Liver and Gallbladder Diseases.
21. Carbohydrate-Controlled Diets for Diabetes Mellitus.
22. Fat-Controlled, Mineral-Modified Diets for Cardiovascular Diseases.
23. Protein-, Mineral-, and Fluid-Modified Diets for Kidney Diseases.
24. Energy- and Protein-Modified Diets for Metabolic and Respiratory Stress.
25. Energy- and Protein-Modified Diets for Cancer and HIV Infection.
I haven't spot-checked this against the list above, which seems much more specific than what we've done. However, here is our work in progress on Nutrition from Pierce College. The faculty have been teaching with it for two quarters and still have some changes to make, but they seem okay with it.

I received an email from an instructor in Nutrition who would like to replace the commercial textbook currently being used. Below is a link to the current book (Food and Culture) and the course learning outcomes. Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.
https://www.amazon.ca/Food-Culture-Kathryn-Sucher/dp/1305628055/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1532985712&sr=8-2&keywords=food+and+culture+nelms
Here are the learning outcomes from last year:
1. Explain the relationship between food, food choices, ethno cultural, and religious identity
2. Recognize the role culture plays in influencing group and individual food selection, preparation, consumption and in producing different attitudes and beliefs around food
3. Understand the impact traditional health beliefs and practices have on food choice and health
4. Gain skills in intercultural communication
5. Explore food systems and their impact on individual food choices
6. Become familiar with world religions and understand religious influences on food choice
7. Understand how food patterns of people from different cultures help them meet nutritional needs
A few things have been recommended on the list previously. You can search the complete archives by going to our
https://www.cccoer.org/community-email/ page but highlights include:
1. University of Hawaii Manoa’s new OER nutrition textbook JUST RELEASED in JUNE:

Human Nutrition
2. University of Kansas open textbook recommended in 2016:
Kansas State has produced a Nutrition book, available in Google Docs. There are a couple of research articles to go along with this book, one in JOLT and another in EduCause.
3. Candela course from Pierce College recommended in 2016:

I have an instructor who is interested in an OER textbook and/or resources for her nutrition course
I put together an OER subject guide for Nutrition last summer for an instructor
There are several open nutrition books that can be found on LibreTexts.
These include LibreTexts and supplementary materials at

In addition there are LibreTexts in the Campus Course sections with both

Our nutrition sciences faculty are looking for an open resource nutrition analysis software option.
All of our introductory courses include a food diary and self-dietary analysis as a term-long project that students report is super valuable,
so the faculty don't want to get rid of the assignment.
The major publishers offer paid options but we're hoping one of you might know of free options for students?
I reached out to our nutrition department chair about this because our program uses a lot of OER and free resources.
Here is her response:
"I use USDA's FoodDataCentral and What's in the Foods You Eat Search Tool.
Food Data Central is the database that nutrient analysis software pulls data from and the
What's in the Foods you Eat is the search tool that has a fairly straightforward user interface.
They are free to use, and USDA FoodData Central data are in the public domain and not copyrighted. CC1.0 Universal (CC01.0).
What the diet analysis programs like NutriCalc, Chronometer, and MyFittness Pal have compared to the search tool and database that I use
is the ability to create reports.
So, I have my students create their own nutrient data tables/reports using the info from the databases and compare
their findings to the recommended amounts found in the Dietary Reference Intake tables available in our nutrition text or
online through the National Institutes of Health.
USDA also has a DRI Calculator for Healthcare Professionals. I have not used it but thought I would share."
You can see more details about our nutrition classes, what's being used, etc. on the Nutrition page of the ZTC at CRC website.
Some of the books being used are available through the college library, but we have faculty who are actively working to create OER to replace those.
I am looking for OER for a Nutrition course in our kinesiology department.
They currently use Nutrition & You and some use Modified Mastering Nutrition with MyDietAnalysis with Pearson eText.
So If I can find something that has an online diet analysis component, that would be great.
This is for a community college course with no CI-D. We call it Introduction to Nutrition:
This course is designed to provide knowledge about the essential nutrients in a diet and their function in health and disease
prevention throughout life in western society. Recommended intakes of nutrients needed during different life stages for healthy
function of the body to prevent deficiencies, toxicities, and chronic disease is instructed, as well as kilocalorie balance, metabolism,
and adjustment in nutrient intakes based on physical activity. Thanks,
You will find a range of OER textbooks (38) focusing on nutrition in our Commons catalog:

We have been working (slowly) on a substitute for the Super Tracker system that was shut down a few years ago. I expect that we will have it operational this summer. We are always looking for feedback on this tech by the way and it will be hooked into our ADAPT homework system, which has two collections of nutrition questions available:
https://adapt.libretexts.org/students/courses/2088/assignments/anonymous-user
https://adapt.libretexts.org/students/courses/66/assignments/anonymous-user
Cheers,
Delmar
p.s. There are several teams working on Kinesiology on the LibreTexts network and two existing texts can be found here:

Here's what I sent a faculty member in our Nutrition program last January (where does time go??):
Nutrition
Human Nutrition (also located here with multiple formats)
Nutrition: Science and Everyday Application
Principles of Nutrition
An Introduction to Nutrition
Realities of Nutrition
Plus a few others I've seen on listservs more recently:

Just resurrecting this question to see if there are any new leads. I am working with a faculty member who is trying to find a replacement for our
KIN 166: American Food and Culture: Global Origins, History and Current Impacts.
They currently use Food Around the World, 2014, 4e (Pearson)
They are making use of the Human Nutrition 2e ( 2020) OER for a nutrition course and also in the past this 166 course used the
OpenStax Sociology, 3e but looking for something more comprehensive for U.S. Food and Culture.
Any leads for OER or ZTC (library ebooks, etc. ) would be great. I've exhausted searching GOBI and elsewhere for ebooks that might match.
You can see what's in use in Oregon at this link: http://openoregon.org/resources/?keyword=nutrition .
There are is a lot of content in the LibreTexts libraries via searches for nutrition and food that likely would be useful.
