4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book for athletes and trainers, September 1, 2008
By 
This review is from: Practical Applications in Sports Nutrition (Paperback)
I had to use this book in a class for Sports Nutrition. It is a great reference book (ie RDA for vitamins and minerals) and is valuable for anyone that is an athlete or works with athletes. I found it to be a little repetitive and the case studies were a little too typical to be helpful. In either case, it's easy to read and it is fairly easy to navigate as a reference manual.
