Plant-Based Sports Nutrition: Expert fueling strategies for training, recovery, and performance

I’m a health and fitness professional and use this book as a resource for myself and my clients wanting to eat plant based ( or just more plants!) while maintaining fitness/performance goals. Complicated topics are broken down, all the major vitamins and minerals are discussed and there’s even great recipes to try out! I also enjoyed the basic nutrition and exercise tables in the index. Once again: FANTASTIC RESOURCE! Buy it now.

I first bought a generic book on sports nutrition and was very disappointed on the emphasis of meat and dairy. I was recommended this book by a vegan friend. The information is up to date and very informative. The book emphasizes plant foods first then makes suggestions on when and how to supplement with non-plant based foods which I really appreciate. There’s also a coupon in the back for 1/2 off the Human Kinetics continuing education credit exam which is perfect because I’m due to renew my health coaching certification!

Good read for anybody that is not knowledgeable in plant based eating, but does not go beyond the basics.

I wish that every plant based / vegan athlete would read this book. It covers everything you need to know (and then some!) to ensure you're getting all of the essential nutrients to keep performing at a high level. I also really appreciate that they go into detail about how much males and females need, as males have different nutritional needs than females. I haven't seen many books do this and I am really glad they did.

As expected

Jam packed with evidence-based information about plant based nutrition for athletic performance and general health. This book cuts through both the sometimes overblown hype in favor of, and the scaremongering against vegan and plant based diets. Solid recommendations for eating in way that will help your athletic pursuits, while being better for your overall health, and that of the animals and our planet.

That was a gift for my son because he loves to take care of his Health and likes to prepare healthy food. I hope that he likes it.

If you are a fitness professional/trainer, I could see where this book might be handy to reference for your clients. But for the average plant based athlete like myself who is trying to eat the right things at the right times in order to continue endurance running, it was way too technical. I don't need chapter upon chapter of the author's credentials and complicated algebraic equations to calculate my energy needs. Definitely not a book for most people looking for a simplified approach. Other than a couple of tasty-sounding recipes, I don't think I got anything from this.

So much information in this to help anyone out. Even as someone who has a nutrition masters, I found it a great read

Great book, lots of useful information. I have not read other related books yet, therefore, I am not sure about the certainty of the information presented, but, information has sources well defined for every study mentioned. As soon as I finished reading it, I'll verify everything mentioned in it.

Amazing source for all athletes

I have enjoyed reading a lot of what it has to say.

Good read
