THE sports nutrition must-have

I'm a Registered Dietitian who sees clients for sports nutrition, training, and competitive athletic events. Reading Energy to Burn helps them overcome barriers and meet their training targets. A must read.

Smart, simply stated and packed with helpful tips.

This is not one of those shiny covered books with big promises and confusing data. Nor do you have to eliminate your favorite snacks or an entire food group. It's a book of guidelines and methodologies supported by research and written by qualified specialists in sports nutrition. And it's an interesting read. Thanks for sharing with us you smart ladies.

No fad diets, just correct information

Great book. Super easy to read and full of great information. This is full of sound science and correct nutrition advice without promoting any fad diets. As a coach for international level athletes I recommend this book to all clients.

Finally!

I love this book. It touches on the "popular" nutrition and hydration advice most of us have heard, then provides us with the correct nutrition and hydration information based on current research. But most important, it's easy to read and easy to follow. This book provides you with real information on protein, fat and carbs, as well as specific menu's and recipes, information on sports drinks and energy bars, and a discussion on which supplements are worth the investment vs. just hype. This takes the guess work out of how to properly feed your body for ultimate performance. Whether you are a person who exercises just to stay in shape, or an elite triathlete, you should own this book. This is the best practical guide to sports nutrition I have read. I am going to give it as a gift to my athlete friends. This book is great.

Great info

If you are in good shape or just working to get there diet is a key part of any successful program. This book is chockful of not just tips but the basis for a sound nutritional program. Very helpful.
