978-1-7182-1803-1 (ISBN)
As an athlete, you’re likely bombarded by advice from coaches, trainers at the gym, and teammates and friends about what you should be eating, how much, and when. You probably even get advice from people on social media who have never even met you!
Whether you’re an endurance runner, a team sport competitor, or a strength and power athlete, Nutrient Timing: Fueling Strategies to Unlock Peak Performance gives you science-backed advice that has been translated into practical recommendations to help optimize your training, boost performance, and accelerate recovery.
Learn why nutrient timing matters and how to identify your specific timing needs. Find carb, protein, fat, fluid, and supplement recommendations—for before, during, and after training or competition—that are specific to your situation, activity level, and sport. Use the sample nutrition plans and case studies for various sports and situations to help facilitate the implementation of those recommendations. Get time-saving food prep and meal planning tips to help keep your unique nutrition plan on track. And if your goal is to gain muscle, lose fat, or recover from an injury, that’s covered as well.
If you want to train hard, perform to the best of your ability, recover quickly, and maintain a competitive edge over your opponent, let Nutrient Timing be your guide. It will give you insight into the ideal types of nutrients to consume, their quantities, and their timing to enhance your performance and achieve your goals.
