Eat to Climb by Mina Leslie-Wujastyk is a comprehensive guide to nutrition for climbers. Whether youre a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, this book will help you cut through the noise of nutrition fads and make informed, confident decisions about fuelling your body.The book is split into two sections principles and methods. Principles explores the foundations of nutrition: energy intake, macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration and supplements. Youll gain a clear understanding of how protein, fat and carbohydrates support training, performance and recovery along with insight into key vitamins and minerals, fluid intake requirements and ergogenic aids.The methods section shows you how to apply these principles in real life, with a focus on flexibility and autonomy. Specific chapters look at crag nutrition, injury recovery, weight loss, intuitive eating and the specific needs of female climbers.Throughout, youll find powerful insights from top climbers. From Shauna Coxseys honest account of her struggles with food as a young athlete, to Molly Thompson-Smiths diligent approach to nutrition when injured, and Billy Ridals tactics for eating when he freed the Nose on El Cap, their stories bring the science to life.Todays climbers increasingly recognise that long-term performance isnt built on calorie restriction or the chronic search for lightness. And as a community we can all be healthier, stronger and get more from our climbing as we learn to eat to climb.
