Honestly curious, where should a layman go to for nutrition advice if they can’t rely on their government?

  That’s ... really hard. Honestly, I think self experimentation is the trick. Find someone who seems to be an expert, adopt one of their recommendations for a few weeks. Do you feel better? If yes, continue and pick a new recommendation. If no, reverse course and try something or someone else. I personally recommend experts who both cite science, and are willing to reverse course when proven wrong.

  You’re initial steps depend on your starting point/goals. Are you a body builder trying to go from 10-12% body fat to 7% for competition. Are you obese? Do you have chronic diseases or metabolic issues caused by diet? I personally focus on ATP/krebs cycle, cellular health, dietary inflammation, liver/kidney function...I experiment and consume information mostly from athletes. I myself am a ultra runner but only started running 5 years ago and wanting to be a better runner is what got my to begging taking nutrition seriously. I was 192 4 years ago, I’ve been down as low as 133. I experiment a lot but it’s hard because I feel you must commit months to a diet to really have insight on the effects on your body combined with lifestyle. That seems to be the same conclusion as the other reply to your comment, but whereas they say give is weeks/I’d say give it months.
