Learning Nutrition

[StuartJack]

I've been interested in nutrition, especially from a performance standpoint, for quite some time. I've completed one or two super basic nutrition subjects as part of some other courses I've undertaken, but I really want to learn more and eventually pursue a career in nutrition (likely focused around sports nutrition).

How would you recommend I approach this? I'm 32 and work full-time, but have a solid work ethic and plenty of free time. University is the obvious avenue, but I wanted to get some opinions from other people in the field before spending 3+ years of my life and a decent chunk of money on something that may be time and money poorly spent.

I doubt it'll have any impact on answers, but I live in Australia (in case you recommend something US specific).

Thanks in advance!

I'd be seeking some sort of terminal degree program in dietetics if a career change is really what you're after. This may be more complicated with an existing career, but given how COVID has impacted distance learning....it could be viable.

Thanks for the input, I'll take a look!
