The Feed Zone Cookbook offers 150 athlete-friendly recipes that are
simple, delicious, and easy to prepare.
When Dr. Allen Lim left the lab to work with pro cyclists, he found a
peloton weary of food. For years the sport's elite athletes had been
underperforming on bland fare and processed bars and gels. Science held
few easy answers for nutrition in the real world, where hungry athletes
must buy ingredients; make meals; and enjoy eating before, during, and
after each workout, day after day.
So Lim set out to make eating delicious and practical. His journey began
with his mom, took him inside the kitchens of the Tour de France, and
delivered him to a dinner party where he met celebrated chef Biju
Thomas.
Chef Biju and Dr. Lim vetted countless meals with the world's best
endurance athletes in the most demanding test kitchens. In The Feed
Zone Cookbook: Fast and Flavorful Food for Athletes, Thomas and Lim
share their energy-packed, wholesome recipes to make meals easy to
prepare, delicious to eat, and better for performance.
The Feed Zone Cookbook provides 150 delicious recipes that even the
busiest athletes can prepare in less time than it takes to warm up for a
workout. With simple recipes requiring just a handful of ingredients,
Biju and Allen show how easy it is for athletes to prepare their own
food, whether at home or on the go.
The Feed Zone Cookbook strikes the perfect balance between science and
practice so that athletes will change the way they think about food,
replacing highly processed food substitutes with real, nourishing foods
that will satisfy every athlete's cravings.
