Optimization for Athletes: Macronutrient Edition: Performance Nutrition and Sport Nutrition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781726445269)

Optimization for Athletes is written by an athlete, for an athlete, parent, or coach looking to take their knowledge or athleticism to the next level. In this edition, you will learn about the 3 main macro nutrients (protein, carbs, and fats), what intensities of exercise benefit from what you are eating, and different body types that correspond with the diet. This book contains information that is not usually told to athletes in a simple, compact way. Athletes spend top dollar on new speed suits, supplements, and personal training but they rarely invest in learning about their main driver of performance; food. Content includes: - High Carbohydrate vs Low Carbohydrate benefits and drawbacks - How your heart rate and physical exertion relates to your macronutrient intake - How to eat to work with your body rather than against it - The best foods to eat for athletes that want nothing but the best performance - Why the timing you eat different foods matters
