Understanding nutrition is crucial for athletes. Unfortunately, this topic is not a simple one, and to understand how to set the right diet and what toall you need to be careful about, it's not enough to read a few short articles on the internet. To get maximum results, you really need to understand nutrition in detail. And for that you need quality resources. The book Modern Nutrition in Fitness and Strength Sports by Lukáš Roubík and his team is probably the best publication on this topic in the Czech Republic at the moment. It should therefore not be missing on the shelf of any athlete who takes nutrition seriously and wants to educate himself on this topic.

What has been our experience with the book? Does it contain enough relevant information, or does it just repeat recycled myths that the internet is full of? And who is it suitable for? All this and much more in today's review.
Quality sources and relevant information
Let's not beat around the bush and set the record straight. The book Modern Nutrition in Fitness and Strength Sports is packed with the latest studies, scientific findings and all sorts of other relevant resources. But it doesn't jump to conclusions from the research that has been done, as many authors tend to do. On the contrary, he goes against the tide in many respects and is not afraid to be upfront about conclusions that may be rather disappointing to the reader. The collective of authors repeatedly dismisses some of the latest trends, pointing out their illogicality or that their effects are often greatly exaggerated in the mainstream. In short, they don't try to sell you the most bullshit at any cost.
What I especially appreciate about the book is that it doesn't play games and doesn't need to come up with any "revolutionary and guaranteed" methods. The authors emphasize the need to approach each diet with a different approach and not to apply one "tried and tested" procedure to each person indiscriminately.
Clear structure
In the first part of the book you will learn about the functioning of the human microbiome, the basic macronutrients, their sources and methods of preparation. The authors also cover all categories of sports supplements in turn, with emphasis on individual substances and their effects. Finally, several experts in their respective categories (physique, powerlifting, bikini fitness, strongman, etc.) share valuable advice and tips on diet formulation. Of course, there are also sample menus for the reader to draw on. Practical advice awaits you throughout the book, which is extremely valuable in everyday life. You will learn, for example, when it is worth letting your rice cook a little more, on what to make scrambled eggs or on which days it is good to cut back a little on protein.
Who is the book suitable for?
Modern Nutrition in Fitness and Strength Sports contains both complete basics and advanced information that will be used by more experienced athletes. So you could say that almost anyone can draw information from it. Personally, though, I think you should find out at least some basic information about the topic of nutrition before you decide to invest in a book. In fact, the chapters often go into details that can be quite difficult for the layman to understand. Therefore, be aware of many foreign words and Latin terms. It is fair to say, however, that even if you don't understand every detail 100%, you can still take away a huge amount of valuable information from the book.
For the price, it is simply worth it
If you're not a fan of dry text, don't worry. The book contains a lot of drawings, charts and tables that make it clearer and more readable. We must also appreciate the very high quality workmanship that makes the book feel really solid in the hand. Still, you don't have to worry about having to spend a fortune on it. Currently it sells for , which is a more than acceptable price considering the quality of the workmanship, the length and the amount of information contained.
