I've read.... many books on sports nutrition and fitness. Alot. An embarrassing amount, really. Enough on that.

This is the one I recommend. Everything you need. No silly fads or dangerous ideas or stupid stuff. You don't have to read 50 books. Just this one.

Its not intimidating either. The author never oversteps her expertise, doesn't claim to know things that no one knows... instead she briefly explains the research, for and against, and leaves it up to you to decide. What could be more honest?

It is British... some of the food doesn't exist here, and others have different names. Rocket is arugula. I've had no luck ever finding nonfat or lowfat fresh farmers cheese in the states... too bad really.

This the best book on sports nutrition I have read so far. this book is for those who want to equip themselves with knowledge and get the best out of their physique.
This book has amazing section....it tells us what to eat ...when to eat.....how to eat (recipes)...tells you which latest supplements that work and without promoting any brand......the book seems to be clean as it seems not to have funded by any supplement manufacturer...
It is a must for those who have partial or no knowledge about nutrition.....It is a also good learning once again for those who have very good knowledge....
Amazing and a must.....

I had high hopes for this book having something new to offer. I've read a lot of books on the subject and found nothing new that can't be found on the internet for free. The author is also from Europe and her constant reference to kg vs. lbs. is somewhat annoying. Not her fault mind you, just annoying for American readers.

I am not saying that the author's book is bad, just the same old information that's been around for years. If you're serious about sports nutrition I suggest you read Sports & Exercise Nutrition by William D. McArdle. Its a college textbook that offers a strong insight into nutrition.

Some may find the book too technical, but how else can you understand the science behind such a scientific topic.

Good luck.
