Nutrition for Health, Fitness and Sport uses a question-answer
approach, which is convenient when you may have occasional short periods
to study, such as riding a bus or during a lunch break. In addition, the
questions are arranged in a logical sequence, the answer to one question
often leading into the question that follows. Where appropriate,
cross-referencing within the text is used to expand the discussion. No
deep scientific background is needed for the chemical aspects of
nutrition and energy expenditure, as these have been simplified.
Instructors who use this book as a course text may add details of
