Carmichael provided a good introduction to food for athletes. This was a book more for my dad though; aka the typical American. One that eats meat and fast food. There was a part on the vegetarian diet, but since Carmichael doesn't partake in this experience, he doesn't speak truly to it.

great recipes from Lance's coach.
Carmichael was a nutritionist for Lance Armstrong. Could you get better advice? This book is great for nutrition nerds like me, but I think it would bore some folks who aren't into the science. That said, it's still fun to get into, and Carmichael throws in some clever antidotes from his days with Lance. Good read, and I recommend if you're looking for ways to maximize your fitness.
Very, Very detailed information about strength training, various training methods, eating to fuel your body not eating just to eat and how you should exercise based on seasonality of sports you play...and much more
KEEP THIS BOOK AS A REFERENCE FOR ANY TYPE OF SPORT OR TRAINING NEED!!!

Very informative if you want to improve your preformance with the food you eat. It also helps you in determining if there is any food that could hinder your performance also. There's some great recipes in the book too.
B I knew a lot of this already (I read a ton of sports nutrition) but this book has a ton of great advice for serious athletes on sports nutrition. Very interesting.
Whether you're actively training or just looking to eat better. This book will get yuo on your way. The author is very thorough, and explains everything very well.
Very good information. This may be more detailed information than most people looking for, but it's a very good reference, and it's an easy read.
Good nutritional advise for fueling your
body to maximize your workouts
