Professor Kramer makes this very difficult. He crams 6 lectures into a single test. Each lecture will consist of 40 slides. Often the slides are not in the printouts that you have. The projects are simple if you follow the directions. Do not take this class if you have 2 or more other classes in one semester.

My name is Sam Kramer and I am currently the Director of Product Development for Naturewise.

I am passionate about product innovation, formulating the highest quality products, and searching for efficacious and unique ingredients that have evidence-based research behind them. I enjoy providing practical education to consumers by driving content in a simplistic and informative manner.

I completed my Master's degree in Exercise Physiology with a major in Sports Nutrition at Florida State University, along with my dietetic internship which had a sports nutrition emphasis. Prior to FSU, I graduated from Rutgers University with a B.S. in Nutrition Sciences (Summa Cum Laude).

  • The Essential Nutrition Pocket Guide: An Individualized Approach

    Amazon

    Nutrition is a complex science that is impacted by numerous modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Many books in this category of health and wellness attempt to blanket-statement the "best" diet to reach your goals. Unfortunately, one-size does not fit all and that is not how the body operates. Thus, the need for individualized nutrition is warranted. Enter this nutrition pocket guide. Sam Kramer provides his expertise as a Registered Dietitian and explains the principles of Nutrition in a simplistic and thorough manner. He provides examples and calculations based on peer-reviewed evidence and successfully fills the gap in individual-centered nutrition. The book is designed like a funnel, beginning with broad topics, and then narrows in focus, to educate readers how to calculate their daily needs, without an overwhelming amount of information. The implemented sliding-scale system allows readers of all ages, education levels, and needs, to grasp the foundational elements of the world of food and health.
