Athletes know how important it is
to get the right fuel for their workouts and events. Unfortunately, they
often resort to quick, bland, and downright gross non-food sources of
carbs and other nutrients, such as energy gels and bars. Feed Your Athlete
shows both endurance athletes and strength athletes how to cook easy
meals and take-alongs that taste good while delivering the fuel that
they need to perform at their peak, whether that's before the event,
during the event, or after it.
In this book readers get:
--
150 delicious recipes with variations to deliver the precise nutrients
needed for a variety of endurance and strength-based sports.
-- Beautiful color photos of finished meals and snacks.
--
Training meals for fueling up, snacks and portables to consume for
energy during endurance events, and recovery lunches and dinners for
replenishing stores.

recipe, highlighting the most important nutrients, including variations
tailored to specific dietary needs and preferences.
-- Tips on how to shop and fill the pantry with everything needed for quick, easy, powerful meals and snacks.
