Ryan assists athletes in designing a sports diet that is the foundation of
their endurance and good health, with all of it based on the building
blocks of a balanced diet: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, along with
fluid, vitamin, and mineral requirements. The changing nutritional needs
of training, racing, and recovery are also clearly explained. Endurance
athletes will learn how to assess body composition and find healthy
approaches to losing body fat and building muscle. Ryan also gives
practical pointers such as a review of popular ergogenic aids, tips on
meal planning, typical shopping lists, sample menus, glycemic index of
foods, facts about vitamins and minerals, and a comparison of sports
nutrition products.
