I liked it
Good information and the recipes in the back are an added bonus. Not too technical. I would recommend to a friend.

A great resource!
As both an athlete and a mother to an athlete, I found the information was applicable and helpful for both ny 11 year old daughter and myself. I love the detailed information as well as how the recipes are broken into categories, depending on what part of your training life they would best support. It's also been a great resource to begin to teach my daughter how to fuel for athletics as well as have a healthy relationship with food. A great resource!!

Must have for those that are athletes or work with athletes
I am a sport psychologist in a D1 athletics department and this is my go-to book to refer student-athletes to for practical, straightforward, science-back nutrition information. I also love that this book includes simple and quick recipes that keep can keep them fueled in and out of competition. With so much conflicting nutrition information out there, I prefer to guide the student-athletes to a source that is credible and Marni is highly recognized clinical sport dietitian.

Misleading Cover Title?
I was expecting this book to be about sports nutrition as it says on the cover. However, the book mainly focuses on thyroid diet plan? It was a pleasant read and I will try the recipes but I feel very misled on what I purchased. Emily Kyle is shown to be the author but on the cover it shows Marin Sumbal?

Informative!
Great book, very well written. My niece asked for a book that explained carbs, proteins, and fat (she's a gym rat) and their effects on the body. This book exceeded expectations; the explanations are clear, informative and precise. I took out a library copy and now want one for myself.

Very good for cost
This is a really good introduction book, especially for the cost. Helps you cut through a lot of the bs as is research based, for instance I like how they address both keto and low carb for athletes.
