From Library Journal:
Sports nutritionist Bean (Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition), once a British bodybuilding champion, is familiar with the nutritional challenges facing women athletes. With Wellington, a member of the British Olympic Association's Nutrition Steering Group, and other experts, she here provides insight on issues such as bone health, iron deficiency, amenorrhea, nutrition requirements for team sports, weight control, and eating disorders. The first four chapters share some sensible nutritional guidance for any active woman, including advice on nutrition during pregnancy and throughout the menstrual cycle and facts on iron and anemia, carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals. The last seven chapters are geared more toward women athletes, coaches, and nutrition specialists and are a little too sophisticated for the average consumer. There are numerous nutritional charts and tables throughout the text, plus eating plans and references for further reading. Appropriate for women interested in their nutritional needs during exercise and sport, this is recommended for consumer health collections. Lily Liu, Arkansas Children's Hosp., Little Rock
