### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The gold standard for sports nutrition
*by J***E on June 24, 2012*

This book is widely considered THE text on sports nutrition, and it's even better now that it is updated for 2012. Sports nutrition is a quickly advancing field and having the most recent information is important. Benardot covers very important information for athletes, including:* Ratios of carbohydrates to proteins to fats, and how the body utilizes these nutrients. Unfortunately this section is a bit dated and reflects the old 60's thinking that advocates low-fat, high carb diets. I would have preferred more up-to-date information based on the studies conducted since then that show a high-fat, low-carb diet is healthier. There is a lot of research now on the way these diets can both help and hurt anaerobic and aerobic performance, and this information is sadly lacking. This is one of the few "cons" of the book.* The effects of vitamins and minerals on performance, and how these micronutrients function.* The best concentration of carbohydrates for sports drinks, gels, etc.* Which supplements work and do not.* How best to spread out nutrient intake across the day and before, during, and after activity.* Specific recommendations for athletes of particular types of sports, such as short, high intensity sports or endurance sports.All of the material is very well cited and most importantly, you gain not only an understanding of "what" but also "why". The author provides a tremendous amount of information on anatomy and biology to explain exactly how metabolic processes use the nutrients you consume so you can apply that information to your unique situation. This is a must-have book for any athlete.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The standard has been set, and it is HIGH!
*by J***N on March 3, 2014*

For those who don't know, Dr. Benardot isn't just some guy with a fancy degree. He has worked with Olympians for, well, decades. His approach to nutrition is not just based on the best science has to offer, it is also based on what delivers a real-world world class performance while maintaining and even improving athlete health.Fortunately for the rest of us, the approach taken in this book helps us all learn exactly how our bodies work so that we, too, can get exactly what we want from our diets! There is as much detail as anyone could want, while still containing a condensed "here's what to do" segment for every goal. You'll get the low-down on just about every supplement and "ergogenic aid" there is, as well as a specific breakdown of all major sports so that you know exactly what you need based on what you do.You'll also get exposed to important ideas that you won't see anywhere else, such as dynamic energy balance. Forget about getting your calories for the day, and learn why getting the calories you need WHEN YOU NEED THEM is going to make you stronger, leaner, and better at what you do every day.Don't go buy a book written by a fancy blog owner, do yourself a favor and learn from the cream of the crop: Buy this book today. You'll thank Dr. Benardot (and maybe me) tomorrow.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book
*by M***S on August 10, 2013*

Coming from a scientific background but on a different area, I found the book very enjoyable to read. I started with the chapter about ergogenic aids and supplements, and then went on to read the rest. Although the discussions are not shallow, the book is easy to follow.The author makes two or three key points, such as most supplements are not really necessary if you know what to eat and when to eat, the typical insufficient carbohydrate intake in athletes, and the need to have many smaller meals/snacks a day instead of larger meals. Many interesting insights are given, and any major statement or claim is backed by scientific evidence (with citations). In practice, I've been employing some of this ideas for so many years now and know they work.
