We understand the financial constraints students face. A new copy of Dietetics by B. Srilakshmi costs between ₹350–₹600 in India (and significantly more internationally). As a result, many turn to PDF sharing platforms, Telegram channels, and free e-book websites.

Most Indian universities (IGNOU, Delhi University, Symbiosis, Manipal) have subscriptions to e-libraries like:

A: No. For diet planning questions, especially on RDA and obesity management, answers based on the 5th edition (pre-2015) will be marked partially incorrect.

The 7th edition has a limited preview on Google Books. You can read 20% of the book, including the table of contents and the first chapter of renal dietetics. This helps verify if a version is truly updated before you purchase.
