Hey everybody, and welcome to my free NASM FNS study guide. The study guide for the NASM fitness nutrition specialist certification follows the most recent nutrition textbook (6th edition) by Paul Insel. Overall, this textbook has 19 total chapters and is over 1000 pages long. However, the NASM FNS they do not cover all 19 chapters. I reviewed all the important information needed to pass the FNS, mainly from chapters 1 through 13.
I also include Chapter 14 on eating for peak performance, even though it is not covered in depth on the test. I feel like it is valuable information for any personal trainer! If not, you can sign up for the FNS right here and save 20%. I highly recommend that you bookmark this page, as it will be extremely helpful for your journey in studying for the FNS.
