Summary of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook
In this book, Nancy Clark, a registered dietician and sports nutritionist, uses real-life examples of the nutrition advice she's given to all types of athletes - casual exercisers, devoted athletes, Olympians, and professionals - to provide "how to" food suggestions that fit almost any situation. The book contains over 100 fast, practical, and nutritious recipes that are ideal for a sports diet. Each recipe details the calorie content and the number of grams of carbohydrates, protein, and fat per serving. "Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook" also features up-to-date information on a wide variety of sports nutrition topics, including carbohydrate loading, fluid replacement and sports drinks, successful weight loss or gain during training, protein needs of body builders, foods that can help prevent heart disease, handling eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, calories burned during different activities / sports, tips for choosing healthful meals on the run, and five ways to boost iron intake. "Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook" includes 43 fact-filled tables to help readers determine the best food choices for their needs. Readers will learn which of their favourite fruits and vegetables are highest in vitamins A and C; how to choose calcium-rich foods other than milk; the calorie, fat, and sodium content of popular fast foods; which foods are highest in carbohydrates; the functions and food sources for 13 vitamins; and the amount of iron and zinc in meats and vegetables. Additional resources include nutrition tips for vegetarians, diabetics, people who are travelling, and people using vitamin supplements.What's the best diet for good health and athletic performance? Nancy Clark, M.S., R.D., describes the dietary balance and specific foods shown to be optimal for athletes from recreational exercisers to Olympic hopefuls, citing supporting studies. Refreshingly free of high-protein hype, Clark emphasizes a varied, wholesome, moderate diet high in complex carbohydrates ("without question, wholesome carbohydrates are the best choices for fueling your muscles and promoting good health"), especially whole grains and starches; adequate but not excessive protein; and 20 to 35 percent fat. Learn the components and variables of your ideal diet, with tables of nutritional information and marvelous tidbits, such as calorie/fat counts of various fast foods. Did you realize that an Au Bon Pain pecan roll has 800 calories and 45 grams of fat--double the calories/fat in a serving of KFC's Crispy Strips? Did you know that a Dunkin' Donuts 16-ounce Coffee Coolatta with cream has 410 calories and 22 grams of fat--about equivalent to a McDonald's Quarter-Pounder? Clark, a well-known sports nutrition expert, also covers weight loss, weight gain, eating disorders, and includes 72 recipes. Highly recommended for athletes, exercisers, and average folk who want to understand how to design a personalized diet. --Joan Price
