Nutrition books

[Got Juice]

I've been training for years and know a little about food and dieting, but have recently been wanting to learn more about what I'm putting in my body and try to get the best results of out my training.

Can anyone recommend a good book? I'm looking for something more entry level to grasp the basics at this point.

Thanks for any suggestions!

If you can find it,,,I've always liked BODYOPUS by Duchaine. A little out dated but good read and info.

Lyle Macdonalds collection of books is a good place to start, I learnt loads from them, and I'd like to recomend Udo Erasmus Fat that heal fats that kill, without doubt the best book written on fats, and then I have Patrick Holfords optimum nutrition bible, which is very insightful into utilising nutrition for improved living and health. Nutrition books specific to bodybuilding are harder to come by, as I am sure you are aware there are many different opinions of exactly how to get the job done. Best of luck

Much of lyle Macdonald UD2 is based on bodyopus and that is readily available, where as bodyopus is hard to come by, infact I am yet to see a copy of it.

If you are serious and really want a good book, then get this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Biochemical-P...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247033824&sr=1-1

There is complicated material in it, but also some basic stuff.

I have the 2003 edition from back when I was in school.

Here is one of the books Shelby has written

**broken link removed**

 

[gordo14]

"Burn the fat, not the muscle" It is very basic in explaining dieting, macro ratios, finding LBM as well as calculating maintenence calories, and how to adjust for proper deficits to lose fat. It again was not complicated and explains the basics great.

 

[Ness]

The Zone

 

[ridge11]

nutrient timing

 

[Shelby]

Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill (Udo Erasmus)

 

[Sesshomaru]

The Guide to Flexible Dieting by Lyle McDonald. It will break down the basics for you and the strategies toward dieting (for any kind). Cant recommend that book enough.

His UD2 book is great too. It improves on Duchaine's Body Opus and gives a good discussion about the how and whys behind the diet. This is just ONE type of diet, whereas the Guide above shows you basic strategies, why/how they work, how to use them, etc.

They can be bought here:
