Anybody know of a reputable nutrition certification programme that can be done at a distance?

Yes. It's called "university". You can get a reasonably reputable nutrition degree out of it. Getting a certification is a bit of an overkill unless you intend to use it to advise others. If that's the case, then college boy is your new name! :thumbsup:
If you're just looking for some good knowledge, you might want to try getting some good books. Offhand, the best book I can think of is by Arnie Baker, called "Bicycling Medicine- Cycling Nutrition, Physiology, Injury Prevention and Treatment For Riders of All Levels". It's a good read.

Thanks Koffee, as you point out University (likely a B.Sc) in nutrition is quite a bit of overkill. I was thinking of something a bit more formal that reading a book and applying it but rather some sort of recognised certificate was available from somewhere.
