Help with assignment - biology book
Discussion
Really don't want to have to spend an entire afternoon getting scared in my uni library for one tiny quote I already know the answer for (have to have accurate reference).
Basically has anyone got a biology book? I need to know a definition of a well balanced diet. I know what one is but in addition to that I need to reference a book which has it in!
I'm surrounded by about 14 books and various articles but not one of them has it in!!
Please help me if you have a bio book with it in!

Campbell, Biology 4th edition has a section on essential nutrients. Contains all of the major dietry requirements and has a nice helpful table. I could scan and email you the relevant pages if its any help?
I'd recommend getting campbell if you're doing any life sciences stuff. The edition i have is a bit old now but its always useful to have.

hey! does it actually have a quote of what a well balanced diet is? I have all the info about what to eat etc but have been told to put a definition of that in!
Thought it would be dead easy to find!
Things are never that simple 
You could alway quote a review in the professional literature. A short explanation of what a balanced diet is in your words followed by a reference stating: (for review see Price, S. 2005. Understanding the importance to health of a balanced diet. Nurs Times. 101:30-1.).
You'll struggle to find a direct quote "a balanced diet is...." so give the information in your own words and then quote where that information came from.
I'm writing a review for a journal at the moment and i spend aprox 80% of my time looking for reference and 20% writing

My sister's in a similar situation as you. She's building up credits for a midwifery degree; she's been a midwife for 20 years but her career has stopped without any higher education. Having to find references to back up statements she knows are right from 20 years worth of experience is driving her insane! 
"A balanced diet provides for cellular work, as well as all the materials the body needs to construct its own organic molecules."
