The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition (9th Edition)

Clear, concise information, easy to follow and apply

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'm using this as another resource on the Personal Training course, as I like using different materials. It covers relevant topics for a UK fitness course, but you need to always be cautious and compare to your syllabus - for example not all of the book is relevant to me. Still worthwhile and helpful

Lots of information, referencing studies from universities and sports agencies.Finding it relatively easy to apply and seeing benefits already in sporting activites

Wow this is incredibly comprehensive and I look forward to diving into it

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:)

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.

Ideal reading for the athlete who wants to "eat to compete". Recommend this for any young athlete, especially high school and college age jocks.

Very interesrting book to learn new information about nutrition

Great book to understand how endurance exercise affects the body. Particularly helpful for vegetarians. Very useful advice on best food and drink requirements to maintain energy levels and improve performance. And recipes.

Quality is very good and of course the info in it is amazing.
