The Plant-Based Boost by Melissa Halas

No matter what type of athlete or exercise enthusiast you are, this book provides the latest research on sports nutrition and how to boost plant-based foods for athletic performance and optimal health. If you're an omnivore trying to eat less meat or a vegan trying to improve nutritional balance, you'll understand strategies to implement before, during, and after exercise. You'll learn about protein quality and dosing, types and amounts of carbohydrates to target, the benefits of healthy fats, and fluid and electrolyte strategies for adequate hydration. From performance-boosting phytonutrients to effective ergogenic aids, to common athletic supplements (both good and bad), you'll gain practical nutrition advice through easy-to-understand charts and tips to customize your fueling techniques to perform and feel your best every day.
