Product Information

Sainsbury’s and Lakeland sell parchment foil so is easy to get hold of and worth obtaining for ease of wrapping and unwrapping. The third recipe I tried was for Swiss frittata which are great. The recipe instructs you to remove as much oil from the sauted ingredients as possible. This is really important - I could have removed more and my frittatas had a slightly greasy texture when cold but the flavor was wonderful. However, sports nutrition does play an important role in performance, with plenty of studies to support them, from multiple carbohydrate transporters to the use of electrolytes in sports drinks, Brooke emphasizes. “When in season, most athletes should not worry about where the calories come from in training, but that they match the energy and fluid needed to support the workout. However, fat intake during high intensity activity has a tendency to upset the stomach, so carbohydrate will always be the preferred energy source to fuel our body. Certainly, as the training volume increases as well as the energy expenditure it is common sense to choose foods that require the least amount of energy to convert to fuel. In my opinion, sport food has a benefit over real foods in that they are convenient with a known amount of key nutrients needed to sustain your performance. Carbohydrate and fat have a much lower thermic effect than protein which is high in comparison. However, fat intake during high intensity activity has a tendency to upset the stomach, so carbohydrate will always be the preferred energy source to fuel our body.” This book begins with an in-depth discussion of what kind of nutrition endurance athletes need, how they can deliver this nutrition to their bodies, and why simply fueling isn't enough. As an example, let's assume that you're considering an iron distance race. Let's plan on burning 8,000 calories during the race. Let's assume that you want a fast time, so you derive 75% of your calories from carbohydrate. We'll give you a 2,000 calories credit for your carbohydrate store. That means that during the course of the race, you would need to consume 4,000 calories. Easy enough...eat 400 calories an hour and call it good, right?

I was not a fan of the athlete endorsements of the authors' work spread throughout the book. Beautiful photographs, but seemed a bit too self-congratulatory.
