Refined and The Feed Zone: Fast and Flavorful Recipes for Athletes

The Feed Zone Cookbook offers 150 athlete-friendly recipes that are simple, delicious, and easy to prepare. When Dr. Allen Lim left the lab to work with pro cyclists, he encountered athletes weary of bland and processed food. For years, the sport's elite had been underperforming on a diet of unappetizing fare and processed bars and gels. While science held few easy answers for nutrition in the real world, where hungry athletes must source ingredients, prepare meals, and enjoy eating before, during, and after each workout, Lim set out to make eating both delicious and practical.

Lim's journey began with his mother, took him into the kitchens of the Tour de France, and led him to a dinner party where he met celebrated chef Biju Thomas. Together, Biju and Lim vetted countless meals with the world's best endurance athletes in the most demanding test kitchens. The result is The Feed Zone Cookbook: Fast and Flavorful Food for Athletes, a collection of energy-packed, wholesome recipes that make mealtime easy for even the busiest athletes.

The Feed Zone Cookbook provides 150 delicious recipes that can be prepared in less time than it takes to warm up for a workout. With simple recipes requiring just a handful of ingredients, Biju and Allen demonstrate how effortless it is for athletes to prepare their own food, whether at home or on the go. The book strikes the perfect balance between science and practice, enabling athletes to rethink their approach to food and replace highly processed substitutes with real, nourishing options that satisfy their cravings.

The Feed Zone Cookbook includes 150 delicious, full-color photographed recipes covering breakfasts, lunches, recovery meals, dinners, snacks, and desserts. It also features Dr. Allen Lim's insights on the science and practice of food, along with portable real food snacks, including his famous rice cakes, dozens of quick-prep meals for before and after workouts, and shortcuts, substitutions, and techniques to save time in the kitchen. With over 100 gluten-free and vegetarian alternatives to favorite dishes, The Feed Zone Cookbook caters to a wide range of dietary needs and preferences.
