Description: "When Dr. Allen Lim left the lab to work with pro cyclists, he found athletes weary of food. For decades the sport's elite athletes had been underperforming on bland fare and processed bars and gels. So Lim and professional chef Biju Thomas set out to make eating delicious and practical. Chef Biju and Dr. Lim vetted countless meals with the world's best endurance athletes during the world's most demanding races. Their groundbreaking Feed Zone Cookbook brought the favorite recipes of the pros to everyday athletes. In Feed Zone Portables, Lim and Biju expand on the success of The Feed Zone Cookbook to offer athletes 50 new portable snacks that will nourish better performance. Feed Zone Portables maintains all the most popular features of The Feed Zone Cookbook including simple recipes that are easy to prepare, beautiful full-color photographs of every dish, complete nutrition information, tips on how each snack can benefit athletic performance, and time-saving ways to make real food the basis of an athletic diet. New in Portables are: Two-Bite Portables: Tasty treats for a breakaway from the norm Aha! Portables: Clever twists on favorite snacks Portable Bars: Sweet and savory flavors featuring whole foods Take & Make: Plan-ahead meals and snacks for traveling athletes With simple recipes requiring just a handful of ingredients, Feed Zone Portables from chef Biju and Allen Lim shows how easy it is for athletes to prepare their own food, whether at home or on the go"--
