Using the latest research in sports nutrition, this handbook helps athletes maximize their performance, expedite recovery, and optimize their health through balanced, plant-based eating.

Debunking the myth that a plant-based diet and high-intensity athleticism just don’t mix, The Vegan Athlete’s Nutrition Handbook is a comprehensive guidebook for anyone looking to dive deep into the science behind plant-based eating and peak performance. Making the choice to switch to a plant-based diet shouldn’t mean giving up your gains — in fact, incorporating more plant-based foods may even give you an athletic advantage — provided you know how to properly fuel your body while eating vegan.

The Vegan Athlete’s Nutrition Handbook
features:
• Breakdown of key macro and micronutrients in a plant-based diet
• The latest information on healthy supplements and dosing
• Over 25 flavorful and fueling vegan recipes
• Sample meal plans to create nutrient-rich, complete vegan meals
• Guidance on the top athletic concerns, including bone health and rapid recovery

The book provides expert guidance for everyone from weekend warriors to professional athletes, whether you are plant-curious, transitioning to a plant-forward diet, or want to refine your existing plant-based nutrition plan. With easy-to-follow vegan menus, recipes, tips, and tricks that can enhance performance, boost recovery and improve health, there’s no reason not to be a vegan athlete!

A COMPREHENSIVE BREAKDOWN. By carefully defining and exploring the ins and outs of plant-based dieting, including the benefits of key macro- and micronutrients, the book doesn’t just tell you what to eat—it teaches you how to care for and support your body during athletic training.

GOING VEGAN WHILE GOING FOR GOLD. The book tackles the challenge of adopting a vegan diet while still pursuing peak physical performance by addressing unique concerns including bone health, protein needs and sources, iron intake, and vegan-friendly supplements.

BASED ON UP-TO-DATE EXPERT RESEARCH. Using evidence-based research, the book helps you make best use of plant-based/plant-forward eating habits to improve your training, recovery, and rest periods…as well as everything in between.
