The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition (9th Edition)

I don't like giving early reviews, but this book is serious. Everything you need and more, and made simple to understand. You can tell its well into its 9th edition by how well it's written. The flow of the format and how it leads up to other things is clear from the first couple of chapters. Well done, and thank you for this book. It seem like I'm waffling out me arse, but it really is a good book. 🤌

I somehow missed that this is a UK publication. After seeing the positive reviews, I decided on this book vs another publication by a well known US author. This is NOT my first dive into nutrition for athletes. I started to read it slowly from the beginning; I immediately noticed the calorie calculator - if I only ate what those mathematical procedures allow me to, I couldn't get through half a day. At some point I skipped over to the recipes. I don't recall if Ms Bean is a nutritionist, but I do know that sugar is responsible for most of inflammatory health problems, and that canola oil is NOT recommended either (rapeseed in the UK) From that I wonder how much other questionable advice is given and regret having spent money on this.

Ideal reading for the athlete who wants to "eat to compete". Recommend this for any young athlete, especially high school and college age jocks.
