I've been getting decent scores on the NBME's but I keep getting a low score in "nutrition". What are some suggestions to beef up in this area aside from studying the vitamins?

I think Goljan (RR path and/or audio) does the best job of going over relevant nutrition stuff--read or listen to the nutrition chapter/lecture.

yea goljan's nutrition lecture is great. FA is HORRIBLE for nutrition. It's even missing a lot of the trace metals we have to know (Se, Cu, Cr, etc.).

The rapid review pathology nutrition section is the best source for nutrition information I have seen and sadly i've wasted money on tons of resources that turned out to be useless, so out of all the big review sources...that section is money and its written by goljan.
