5 Nutritionists Bringing You the Best Health Info on Twitter

When it comes to nutrition, the Internet is full of weird health guidelines, fad diets, and generally horrible advice. On Monday, eggs are a superfood, but by Tuesday, they’re the pariah of breakfast. With so much hype out there, who can you trust to make valuable recommendations on what you should (and shouldn’t) be eating?
It’s challenging to wade through all the noise to find experts who really know their stuff—so we’ve done it for you. Here are four nutritionists we think are pretty awesome. Of course, you should still take everything with a grain of salt (but not too much!).

1. @joybauer

Joy Bauer, the nutrition expert for NBC’s TODAY Show, isn’t afraid to bake brownies for breakfast—she just substitutes ingredients to make them as healthy as possible. Bauer isn’t an unrealistic foodie, bent on forcing the masses to double down on kale. She’s all about taking the foods you want to eat and switching things up to cut the calories.

Brownies! I snuck beans in @IAmSteveHarvey’s brownies & he had NO idea! https://t.co/PkjzINeK2Y … https://t.co/HgQu0x1iEr

2. @JoSakimuraRD

Johanna Sakimura, a Registered Dietician and blogger at Everyday Health, weaves data into her tweets to bring you the most up-to-date recommendations. She tackles diet trends and food crazes, diving into the nitty gritty research—so you don’t have to. For this food sleuth, science is key.

3. @RMNutrition 

Sally Kuzemchak, a Register Dietician and freelance writer, does more than just recommend (scrumptious) recipes. Kuzemchak takes to Twitter to talk about the culture surrounding food. Learn how you can work toward ending food shaming, body judging, and unhealthy eating habits.

4. @tamaraduker 

This nutrition expert comes complete with a side of wit. Tamara Duker Freeman, a Registered Dietician, knows her stuff, and she’s here to help. For those of us with food allergies, Duker Freeman has got it covered. She writes about the best dishes to nosh on when going gluten-free or sticking to a strict diet.

5. @CarleneHEA 

Carlene Thomas, a Registered Dietician Nutritionist, is local to the DC/Northern Virginia area. She tweets a fun mix of healthy recipes, celebrity updates, and personal tips, and her Instagram feed turns healthy food into art (think geometric berry patterns). Check out her feed for advice on sugar, veggies, and sushi burritos!
