5.0 out of 5 stars A Feast Of Useful Information, 4 Jun 2009
The number of books on fitness and healthy eating is overwhelming, so there has to be a good reason to recommend any one in particular.

My recommendation of this book is based on its simplicity: it sets out very clearly that fitness comes from eating the right foods in the right amounts, and by exercising correctly and consistently. It's written by sports nutritionist who is also a sportswoman, and is 100% free from cranky dieting information.

If you are a gym addict, a runner, swimmer or cyclist, there's information here for you, conveniently broken down into what you should be eating and drinking before, during and after training.

Meal advice and menu tips are combined with helpful information on protein powders and sports drinks, and the book also gives some good examples of training regimes for a variety of sports.

In contrast to many other books on the market, Fitness on a Plate gives a realistic and achievable overview of how the active sportsman or sportswoman can achieve a balanced diet in the midst of a busy working week.

Strongly recommended!
