Description
The authors' objective is, while relying on rigorous and scientific information, to provide clear and accessible explanations. Instead of starting with the nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, etc.) that are invisible on the plate, they prefer to highlight the foods (meats, starches, fruits, etc.) that actually make up everyone's meals. At the end of each chapter, a summary makes it easy to find the nutritional characteristics of these different food categories. The authors also propose typical menus adapted to each sport discipline, with numerous boxes highlighting various key topics or correcting misconceptions. This manual is aimed at both athletes seeking performance and anyone practicing a physical activity in order to stay in shape.
