In a recent survey of endurance athletes, 75 percent said they were concerned about their weight. That’s because cyclists, runners, and triathletes know that leaner athletes are faster athletes. Leaner athletes waste less energy, burn less oxygen, dissipate heat faster, and even gain more fitness from every workout.
In the “Racing Weight” series, certified sports nutritionist and author of numerous books on running, triathlon, nutrition, and weight loss Matt Fitzgerald introduces six steps that help athletes zero in on their fastest weight. Now Fitzgerald and dietitian Georgie Fear offer “Racing Weight Cookbook,” a cookbook of the best foods for athletes who want to get leaner and faster.
“Racing Weight Cookbook” makes it simple to dial in the right mix of carbs, fat, and protein to satisfy any athlete’s appetite without unnecessary calories. Athletes can put high-quality, well-balanced meals on the table in as few as 15 minutes with time-saving tips for food preparation and grocery shopping.

* 100-plus healthy recipes for any athlete, from reluctant cook to cooking enthusiast
* Whole grains, fiber, and lean protein to elevate diet quality
