Advanced Sports Nutrition Review: The gold standard for sports nutrition - This book is widely considered THE text on sports nutrition, and it's even better now that it is updated for 2012. Sports nutrition is a quickly advancing field and having the most recent information is important. Benardot covers very important information for athletes, including: * Ratios of carbohydrates to proteins to fats, and how the body utilizes these nutrients. Unfortunately this section is a bit dated and reflects the old 60's thinking that advocates low-fat, high carb diets. I would have preferred more up-to-date information based on the studies conducted since then that show a high-fat, low-carb diet is healthier. There is a lot of research now on the way these diets can both help and hurt anaerobic and aerobic performance, and this information is sadly lacking. This is one of the few "cons" of the book. * The effects of vitamins and minerals on performance, and how these micronutrients function. * The best concentration of carbohydrates for sports drinks, gels, etc. * Which supplements work and do not. * How best to spread out nutrient intake across the day and before, during, and after activity. * Specific recommendations for athletes of particular types of sports, such as short, high intensity sports or endurance sports. All of the material is very well cited and most importantly, you gain not only an understanding of "what" but also "why". The author provides a tremendous amount of information on anatomy and biology to explain exactly how metabolic processes use the nutrients you consume so you can apply that information to your unique situation. This is a must-have book for any athlete. Review: The standard has been set, and it is HIGH! - For those who don't know, Dr. Benardot isn't just some guy with a fancy degree. He has worked with Olympians for, well, decades. His approach to nutrition is not just based on the best science has to offer, it is also based on what delivers a real-world world class performance while maintaining and even improving athlete health. Fortunately for the rest of us, the approach taken in this book helps us all learn exactly how our bodies work so that we, too, can get exactly what we want from our diets! There is as much detail as anyone could want, while still containing a condensed "here's what to do" segment for every goal. You'll get the low-down on just about every supplement and "ergogenic aid" there is, as well as a specific breakdown of all major sports so that you know exactly what you need based on what you do. You'll also get exposed to important ideas that you won't see anywhere else, such as dynamic energy balance. Forget about getting your calories for the day, and learn why getting the calories you need WHEN YOU NEED THEM is going to make you stronger, leaner, and better at what you do every day. Don't go buy a book written by a fancy blog owner, do yourself a favor and learn from the cream of the crop: Buy this book today. You'll thank Dr. Benardot (and maybe me) tomorrow. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,996,871 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,273 in Sports Training (Books) #6,991 in Nutrition (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (166) | | Dimensions | 6.75 x 1 x 9.75 inches | | Edition | Second | | ISBN-10 | 1450401619 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1450401616 | | Item Weight | 1.95 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 424 pages | | Publication date | December 27, 2011 | | Publisher | Human Kinetics | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Advanced Sports Nutrition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81piNa6eTZL.jpg) ![Advanced Sports Nutrition - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Dy4Ztr9mL.jpg) ![Advanced Sports Nutrition - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/416SgrTHgWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The gold standard for sports nutrition *by J***E on June 24, 2012* This book is widely considered THE text on sports nutrition, and it's even better now that it is updated for 2012.

The first 2/3 of the book was well laid out explanation of how the body makes energy. Easy reading and lovely model that gels well with my own experiences. The last 1/3 of the book is a bunch of sample diets. I haven't dug into them. My previous sports nutrition book was published in 1986. No contradictions but the new book is much better written and goes into much more detail. I think if you read and understand the first 2/3 of this book you can design a good diet for yourself, and learn to feed yourself for endurance racing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3670215-advanced-sports-nutrition](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3670215-advanced-sports-nutrition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
