"You can be vegan and still perform at the top of your ability- run your fastest, lift your max, cross the finish line first. Combining dietary know-how with exercise physiology and a full workout program, this book details everything the vegan athlete needs to maintain energy and build muscle, including: day-by-day meal plans, protein intake recommendations, the best calorie-rich foods, optimal fitness techniques, delicious meat-free, dairy-free recipes. 'The Vegan Athlete' shows how a diet of natural plant proteins, essential amino acids and carefully balanced vitamins provides more than enough nutrition to fuel a lean, strong body. Thanks to the program in this book, you can follow a full-body plan for getting and staying in shape that is truly cruelty-free."--p.[4] of cover
