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. ????

This dense book is so packed with ALL the info you need to get your nutrition right whatever your specific sport. It’s for everybody/everyone. I have the original edition which was a game changer years ago, and this massively updated edition far exceeds my expectation.

I’ve been reading Anita Bean’s books and magazine articles for decades and she is masterful at making complex information easily accessible. The title of this book says it all, really – there’s information on every conceivable nutrient, answers to many burning questions I’ve always had (it’s official – running marathons doesn’t lower your immunity, it’s actually all that shoulder to shoulder jostling and travelling to the start that does!) and even a host of fantastic recipes (can’t wait to try Vegetable Tagine with Chickpeas).
Anita really knows her stuff and the book is packed with references that back up all of her claims. I also love the clean layout of the book and the colour-coded sections which make it easy to use as a reference book. A fantastic book for every athlete – and active person!

Final year nutrition student and wanting to pursue a career in sports nutrition, this book is amazing. With all the up to date references and research all in one place. The presentation of the information is great. It is currently going everywhere with me to help with my assignments. My only wish is that I could have purchased it sooner:)
