Good book

Got it for class. It is a good book I really like it. As an exercise science major it has some valuable information in it.

fast and easy

I got the book pretty quick and it was in very good condition. I would recommend anyone to buy books here!

Excellent textbook

I highly recommended "Nutrition for Health, Fitness and Sport" to exercise science and nutrition students. It's comprehesive yet not too technical. You may also want to order "Creatine: The Power Supplement" by Williams et al. (Human Kinetics 1999).PS. You may also want to read my article "Protein metabolism in exercising human with special reference to protein supplementation":

Tons of information that you can understand and apply

Melvin Williams has written a great book on sports nutrition. He takes a chapter to cover every nutrient including supplementation and athletic performance in regards to that nutrient. He also covers fluid and electrolytes. He also includes weight loss, weight gain chapters that are very useful for any athlete of any level.
