Would anyone who has done Straighterline Intro to Nutrition be willing to share how long it took them to finish it? How difficult is it for someone who has know prior knowledge other than basic high school science and common sense from cooking for a long time? I have taken Here's to Your Health DSST, but that didn't have much nutrition on it.

I'm working through it, I'm about to take the midterm. I took Intro to Bio before Nutrition so I found the Physiology chapter to be pretty much review. The textbook lays it all out for you and all quiz questions come from the book (there are also practice quizzes). I'm finding the textbook dry and tedious but it's not too hard overall.

I finished Intro to Nutrition in a night. I just kept plugging along all night taking quiz after quiz. The only prior knowledge I had was from working out and reading muscle magazines.

My 17 year old daughter finished in a week, plugging away at only the quizzes. The final is closed book and she said that it didn't have hardly any repeat questions, (unlike the midterm which had several of the same questions from prior quizzes.) Know FAT for the final. She said there seemed to be a disproportionate amount of questions on fat. Or perhaps that was just her perception. : )
