Product Description
Review
""Advanced Sports Nutrition "threads through the clutter of nutritional mumbo-jumbo. With the skill of the Olympic gymnasts and other elite athletes he advises, Dr. Dan Benardot deftly explains the latest scientific findings in lucid prose, emphasizing the importance of commonsense food-based nutrition over gimmicky supplements. A must for the bookshelf of athletes-and their coaches-who seek to fuel their top performance," Advanced Sports Nutrition "rates a perfect 10."

More in depth than most books on the subject I found this book very informative. A basic understanding of Biology is required to understand the book fully though.

Quality, useful and well written. Great source of knowledge for a high range of nutritional topics and rationale behind these.
