Abstract:	Plant-Based Sports Nutrition, Second Edition provides athletes with practical, evidence-based guidance for using vegetarian and vegan diets to support training, recovery, and peak athletic performance. Written by registered dietitians who are also plant-based athletes, the book addresses the unique nutritional needs of athletes following plant-based eating patterns and draws on more than 700 research studies. It explains how to meet individual calorie needs and obtain adequate macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals while exploring protein and amino acid requirements across different levels of training intensity.The updated second edition includes new nutrition guidelines, updated research, eight new recipes for a total of 34, additional snack and food recommendations, and a new Key Takeaways for Athletes section at the end of each chapter. Readers will also find guidance on nutrient timing, relative energy deficiency syndrome (RED-S), and nutrition strategies for training, competition, recovery, and everyday life. With tailored meal plans, practical recipes, and a full-color interior, this resource helps vegetarian and vegan athletes optimize their nutrition, add variety to their diets, and fuel their bodies effectively while avoiding animal products.
