Find 200 innovative, easy-to-make whole food recipes that are simply scrumptious--including granola balls, quinoa cakes, breakfast smoothies and beyond. The book is organized into three chapters that are chock-full of delicious recipes that are perfect for each exercise phase:
Fuel: what to eat before you exerciseRefuel: what to eat during your workoutRecover: what to eat after you train
Discover important basic concepts behind the food science, so you know exactly how and why choosing whole foods can help you excel in your workouts.
