Nutrition for sport Book

Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook doesn't have a fancy name, but it doesn't really need it. For years, Clark's books have provided sound nutrition advice, information and research for both regularly active individuals and serious athletes. Years ago, my sister did her dietetics residency in Boston at U Mass Hospital, and she shared Clark's second edition book with me. I hung on to it for as long as possible, until she found it in my house months later and snagged it back. Today, as a registered dietitian specializing in sports nutrition, this is also her go-to study and reference book as well. Currently, she is a consultant for a division 1 university sports program, and she also works with clients on an individual basis. To maintain her R.D. and her specialty in sports nutrition, she is required to complete ongoing education and pass various exams. Clark's books are revised regularly, and provide her with essential information.

Still, Clark's writing is easy to understand and follow for the layperson like myself. Clark includes recipes and client examples, as well as little "nuggets" of wisdom. She reviews various well-known diets, comments on surgical options for weight loss, and ranks foods in terms of nutritional value. A wonderful resource.
