This book starts off by listing many different athletes that have achieved success while eating a plant-based diet. Literally dozens of different athletes are mentioned, and their accomplishments are attributed to their dietary choices. About the first 25 pages of the book are spent describing these examples.The second chapter begins with very basic nutritional concepts, like macro-nutrients, vitamins and calorie density. These basics should already be common knowledge for any athlete or anyone into fitness at all, but it could be beneficial to anyone that has never done any research into nutrition or fitness. Again, there are many different mini-testimonials included, and stories of various athletes that changed to a plant-based diet with positive results.The chapter on protein was somewhat disappointing. First the authors suggest that meat industry propaganda is responsible for athletes believing that protein is super important. Then the authors quote the often cited USDA recommendations of .8g of protein per kilogram of body weight for adults engaged in moderate physical activity, which is pretty commonly accepted. The authors then contend that this equates to 56g of protein for men. There must be some plant-based protein website that provides these misleading figures, because I just reviewed another book yesterday that used the very same 56g number for men. This would be for a 155 lb moderately active man, when the average weight of an American male is somewhere around 195lbs, depending on the source. It seems like a pretty big coincidence that two different recently published books quote the same rather misleading number for protein requirements, instead of just using the average weight of a normal person. In this book, it is even more egregious, because the book is supposed to be focused on athletes, and the authors even acknowledge that athletes will require higher levels of protein in the 1.2 – 2.0g/kg/day range. For a male athlete that weighs the average American male weight of 195lbs, that would be 106.2g – 177g of protein daily. This is more difficult to achieve, but of course not impossible. It takes dedication and planning, and continuously quoting misleading examples is not going to make that easier for anyone.The next few chapters discuss fat, carbohydrates, supplements, rest and recovery. Finally, starting at page 263 there is a recipe list. The recipes are divided into Breakfast, Lunch Dinner, Desserts and Condiments; with about 53 recipes in all.Overall, I had mixed feelings about this book. I like the inclusion of all the recipes, and those recipes that I have tried so far have been great. I was somewhat disappointed in the actual science, as I had expected more rigorous technical advice, and perhaps evidence in the form of several specific scientific studies clearly demonstrating superior athletic performance in trained athletes on a plant based diet. Instead, the book is almost half testimonials, or examples of athletes that eat mostly plants. At least this can be motivating, but other than that it was not particularly helpful for me.
