Did you ever see one of those PTA cookbooks where each family has to contribute a recipe? Add some long-winded nutritional information and that's what this book is. There is very little to link the recipes to the nutritional information. The cover is very bland and there are no photographs. I bought this as a fan of womens gymnastics and because I was really interested in what USA Gymnastics says about nutrition in the face of all the criticism they've received about gymnasts with eating disorders and the like. The book offers little for the fan. Very few of the recipes quote the gymnasts directly, many are from the athlete's mother. The recipes are very standard, like what your home-ec teacher might reccomend. For the young gymnast in training this might be an interesting reference book, but no better any other book on youth nutrition. For the fan, you're better off spending your money on something else.

If you are a gymnast, you have to have this book!!! It tells you some recipes that are both low in fat and calories, and also very yummy:) !! It teaches you that eating right will play a big part in your gymnastics success!!

This book is great!!! It has great recipes thatdo not make you feel like your actually eating low fat. It was an awesome book!!!!
