“Vegetarian Sports Nutrition”
September 22nd, 2007 by ScottAs I arrived in Greece last week, I was reminded of last year’s arrival prior to Spartathlon. I was reviewing a new book written by D. Enette Larson-Meyer, PhD, RD, “Vegetarian Sports Nutrition”. Being very impressed with this book, I agreed to write the forward. Although a few books have been written about vegetarian sports nutrition, Larson-Meyer goes into great detail when presenting the science and does so in an easy to understand format. At the same time, she provides practical information that the veteran and aspiring vegetarian can each utilize in their daily and exercise specific nutritional planning. Many formulas and tables guide the reader in calculating their individual nutritional requirements both on and off the field or race course.
Carnivores read on! I commonly recommend this book to my coaching clients even if they may not be vegetarian. The sports nutrition information throughout this book is valuable for the vegetarian and non-vegetarian alike. Many also may find the book inspiring and incorporate a vegetarian diet for a day or two a week. This is an excellent way to provide for the energy demands of athletes and more importantly has been shown in countless studies to be a diet for optimal health and wellness throughout life.
“Vegetarian Sports Nutrition†was released in early 2007. I highly recommend checking it out!

Do say Hi to Leah – the crew meister for me too.
