Reply With QuoteI've read both. Clark's book is pretty good. Applegate's (incidently, my nutrition prof. at UC Davis) was so/so.....of course, it's been awhile since I read it.

A great book is Sports and Exercise Nutrition by Mcardell, Katch, Katch. They also wrote Exercise Physiology: Energy, Nutrition and Human Performance. Two good textbooks.
John Berardi's Precision Nutrition is also a good read.Optimum Sports Performance

I own it. It's pretty good and backs up nearly everything it asserts with one or more studies. It's not meaty, but it's very concise. It also has plenty of template meal plans. It also covers the (very) basics of muscle physiology and nutrients.

I just realized that I didn't do Nutrient Timing any justice.
The main point of the book is to avoid entering a catabolic phase (either just after working out or at other times) by eating the correct amount of C/P/F to supress catabolic agents such as cortisol and stimulating anabolic agents such as insulin.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

John Ivy is a really smart guy. I haven't read that book but a trainer I know loves it.

GoalGetter has Nacy Clark's book but she doesn't post here anymore so good luck getting an opinion. You could PM her though.

Nancy Clark's book is ok, I have it, but most of the info is here. "The Metabolic Diet" was interesting, and I have Nutrient Timing but have not read it yet.
There is yet to be a hardcore athlete's nutrition book, IMO. What kind of book are you looking for.If sense were common, everyone would have it.
