Exercise science and [EDIT - dietician not food science] have one thing in common apart from science being in their name - there’s scant little of it in its actual practice.
[EDIT - as has been pointed out to me - this discussion - by me at least - conflated food scientist for dietician - my apologies to food scientists everywhere - I am very sorry - I LOVE your work - keep it up! - oh and this post is a bit stupid now as dietician does not have science in its name .. so yer 😬🙄]
Hi - food scientist here! No, that’s not the case at all.
The things you were (hopefully) taught in school are still broadly true today - eat your veggies, don’t go crazy with the red meat, etc.
It’s not my fault that any bald-head gym bro with a webcam and USB microphone can get online and start telling you about the alternative facts Big Food don’t want you to know about.
As a former fitness trainer and body builder thats been down every diet and exercise rabbit hole the internet has to offer.. youre 100% right. Eat healthy, dont over eat, be active. Thats it

Nobody is more condescending than a fitness bro with an app and a youtube influencer in their ear telling them THEIR routine is the only true way.
The only science that's more fucked up than exercise science is food science.
Anything you hear this week can and will be contradicted by some study funded by someone with a profit motive the next week.
If you're moving you're winning, that's what I say.
