The Feed Zone Cookbook offers 150 athlete-friendly
recipes that are simple, delicious, and easy to prepare.
When Dr. Allen Lim left the lab to work with professional
cyclists, he found a peloton weary of eating. For years the
sport''s elite athletes had been underperforming on bland fare and
processed bars and gels. Science held few easy answers for
nutrition in the real world, where hungry athletes must buy
ingredients; make meals; and enjoy eating before, during, and after
each workout, day after day.
So Lim set out to make eating delicious and practical. His
journey began with his mom, took him inside the kitchens of the
Tour de France, and delivered him to a dinner party where he met
celebrated chef Biju Thomas.
Chef Biju and Dr. Lim vetted countless meals with the world''s
best endurance athletes in the most demanding test kitchens. In
The Feed Zone Cookbook: Fast and Flavorful Food for
Athletes, Thomas and Lim share their energy-packed, wholesome
recipes to make meals easy to prepare, delicious to eat, and better
for performance.
The Feed Zone Cookbook provides 150 delicious recipes
that even the busiest athletes can prepare in less time than it
takes to warm up for a workout. With simple recipes requiring just
a handful of ingredients, Biju and Lim show how easy it is for
athletes to prepare their own food, whether at home or on the
go.
The Feed Zone Cookbook strikes the perfect balance
between science and practice so that athletes will change the way
they think about food, replacing highly processed food substitutes
with real, nourishing foods that will satisfy every athlete''s
cravings.
