    Any help lads?

    Books that simply give good balanced nutritious recipes that can be used by any kind of athletes?

    Or any very specific books will also do, ;)

    Anita Bean has a book called 'food for fitness', which has lots of really good recipes. Most are easy to follow or adapt, and usually tasty.
    I think she breaks it up by different athletic goals too. You'd pick it up on Amazon at a decent price.

    Same reason anybody else would want one. Why do they sell them?

    I meant why do you need an athlete one, over normal cookbooks?

    Because they make a shedload of money from them?

    I picked this up last year.

    Best avoided - got about 2 recipes out of the whole thing that I make regularly. A lot of the recipes require ingredients that only seem to be available in the USA and the whole book seems to be completely obsessed with removing all traces of fat from meals.

    Probably better for male models than athletes

    John Berardi has one too, don't know the name off hand.

    Gourmet nutrition, very well laid out and once you get the initial list of ingredients not very expensive after that. American measures are a bit of a problem, but lidl do a scales from time to time with both.

    Paleo for athletes and the zone books have some nice stuff too, you can mix and match without sticking strictly to one.
