UK publication - questionable ingredients, calculator etc
I somehow missed that this is a UK publication. After seeing the positive reviews, I decided on this book vs another publication by a well known US author. This is NOT my first dive into nutrition for athletes. I started to read it slowly from the beginning; I immediately noticed the calorie calculator - if I only ate what those mathematical procedures allow me to, I couldn't get through half a day. At some point I skipped over to the recipes. I don't recall if Ms Bean is a nutritionist, but I do know that sugar is responsible for most of inflammatory health problems, and that canola oil is NOT recommended either (rapeseed in the UK) From that I wonder how much other questionable advice is given and regret having spent money on this.

Best book I've encountered on sports nutrition
This book is outstanding! The best I've encountered on sports nutrition. Well written and extremely well organized. Hits the informative sweet spot providing in depth explanation without getting too deep in the scientific weeds. The section on energy systems is the clearest explanation of this material I've found. Excellent resource for coach or athlete.
