This book basically is one long justification for taking lots of supplements. I've been down this road, and at some point started to ask myself -- do the guys writing this have a reason to want you to buy supplements? Of course they do. Ironman is a muscle mag. Its revenues come from advertisements from the people who sell supplements. If Ironman starts dinging the idea that supplements work, its revenues dry up and it goes out of business. Are protein bars useful as a quick meal replacement? I think so. Does taking chromium lead to six pack abs? Please. Hit the gym hard, watch what you eat, and save your money.

This book wasn't great. I don't like the format of this book the way it was written by several different contributors. I don't feel it has any particular flow or direction. It touches of some supplements and on the macro and micronutrients but doesn't outline any particular diets for anything. If you want to read a little about effervescent creatine, a little about protein, a little about calcium, and a little about a few other topics then I guess this book would be for you but you can find way better information in other books or online. I don't recommend this book.

It's a very nice book, excellent tool for professionals and not only.
Can help everyone with his/her nutrition plans. Can advise everyone for better nutrition and as a result maximum profit from workout programms.
Recommended!

...I mean, after all, this is the Ironman series we're talking about...but for content, avoid this. Rather, do yourself a favor and pick up Franco Columbo's book. It is far, far superior and will give you much better results, and much superior advice.

However, all the other Ironman books, with the exception of the "natural bodybuilding" book, should be picked up.

I bought this book as well as the Ironmans ultimate mass guide.I found both books to be of great vaulue.I have learned a great deal about nutrition.Although the book does not cover a great deal, it does however explain how to build a good nutrional base.I suggest anyone wanting to learn about mass and nutrion,get both books as they complment each other very well.I rate this book 4 to 4 1/2.I did not know what I was missing til now.
