Nutrition is actually a really simple topic but many folks seem to make it way more complicated than necessary. Like with most things, it's important to have the basics in place before you start trying to get clever.
We are all guilty of this, including me, and I’m fortunate that on a regular basis I get to chat with an expert on a topic who brings me back to reality. With nutrition, what we need is an expert who can translate the scientific data and then cut through the marketing B/S to give us some simple pointers. That sounds like a job for a straight-talking Yorkshireman! Luckily we have Nigel Mitchell on hand to help. Nigel was the nutritional game changer who worked with team GB cyclists in the early 2000s and after that with Team Sky.
It's a pleasure to have another Yorkshireman on the show to discuss:
Injecting vitamins for recovery in pro cycling
Teaching Geraint Thomas & Luke Rowe to cook
Even vegan food can be rubbish
Making your own sourdough bread, and buying flour directly from the mill
Focussing on food quality
Real barriers to eating healthily
Nigel's simple tips to eat better

 
Nigel doesn’t really do social media but he's written some really good books about nutrition for cyclists:
Fuelling the cycling revolution 
The plant based Cyclist
The Cyclists Cookbook 

 
As for other book recommendations of course as a good Yorkshireman, he recommends 
Relentless: Secrets of the Sporting Elite by Alistair Brownlee
