So Lim joined professional chef Biju Thomas to make eating delicious and practical. When the menu changed, no one could argue with the race results. Their groundbreaking Feed Zone Cookbook brought the favorite recipes of the pros to everyday athletes.In their new cookbook Feed Zone Portables, Chef Biju and Dr. Lim offer 75 all-new portable food recipes for cyclists, runners, triathletes, mountain bikers, climbers, hikers, and backpackers. Each real food recipe is simple, delicious during exercise, easy to make--and ready to go on your next ride, run, climb, hike, road trip, or sporting event.Feed Zone Portables expands on the most popular features of The Feed Zone Cookbook with more quick and easy recipes for athletes, beautiful full-color photographs of every dish, complete nutrition data, tips on why these are the best foods for athletes, and time-saving ways on how to cook real food every day.In his introduction to Feed Zone Portables, Dr. Lim shows why real food is a more easily digestible, higher-performance source of energy than prepackaged fuel products. He shows how much athletes really need to eat and drink at different exercise intensities and in cold or hot weather. Because the body burns solid and liquid foods differently, Lim defines a new approach for athletes to drink for hydration and eat real food for energy.With the recipes, ideas, and guidance in Feed Zone Portables, athletes will nourish better performance with real food and learn to prepare their own creations at home or on the go.

Review: Great for runners, bikers and hikers - For years, I have loved long-distance running, but I always came back to a common problem: how can I avoid bonking at a critical part of the run because of not fueling right. I found all sorts of little tricks that would usually get me through, but often, it came at a cost. One of the most important things that this book teaches is how food we eat can dehydrate us while we eat - and it stresses the importance of moisture content in our food that we take with us when running/biking/etc. The recipes are easy to follow with plenty of clear pictures and bits of advice, and the food tastes GOOD. Additionally, they encourage readers to find what works for them and give advice on how to modify recipes or even create your own. The most helpful part of the book (for me, anyway) was the knowledge shared in the first 50 pages or so - this of 1) How much do we need to eat when exercising; 2) How much water/fluids do we need to drink; 3) Tools for dealing with calorie deficits/dehydration/etc. This information was invaluable to me and explained a LOT of the problems I had been having with being starving during runs, getting massive headaches (from dehydration), not feeling good after a run, etc. I can now run for a couple hours and bounce right back - because I'm drinking enough and eating food that will actually help me. This is not a fad book. It is based on a lot of research, and more importantly, years of experience in the field with a wide range of world-class athletes. I am grateful to the authors for such a useful book. If you are not an endurance athlete, but like to hike, I have found these recipes are fantastic to take on long backpacking trips (overnight trips are tougher because you generally want to keep the food cool). But for long day hikes, throw in a small ice pack and you have great food to keep you going strong all day. Review: Excellent discussion of nutrition for athletes. Perhaps the recipes are good too. - Our family is always on the go, and we eat out way too much. I had assumed that eating lousy was simply a given when you're busy, but the title of this book made be reconsider. To be fair, I have not looked at a single recipe yet...however if you're an endurance athlete, I highly recommend you purchase this book even if you never make a single recipe from it. This book begins with an in-depth discussion of what kind of nutrition endurance athletes need, how they can deliver this nutrition to their bodies, and why simply fueling isn't enough. As an example, let's assume that you're considering an iron distance race. Let's plan on burning 8,000 calories during the race. Let's assume that you want a fast time, so you derive 75% of your calories from carbohydrate. We'll give you a 2,000 calories credit for your carbohydrate store. That means that during the course of the race, you would need to consume 4,000 calories. Easy enough...eat 400 calories an hour and call it good, right? As it turns out, getting your body to process 400 calories per hour on a hot day is a really tall order. In part because of the variables impacting the rate at which your body can absorb nutrition. If you simply pound in the calories, they may never hit your bloodstream. That's what makes this a good book-the succinct, practical discussion of the nutritional needs of endurance athletes. ## Features - Author: Dr. Allen Lim, chef Biju Thomas - ISBN#: 978-1937715007 - Publisher: Velo Press - Publication Date: 4/18/2013 - Jacket: hardcover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1937715000 | | Best Sellers Rank | #380 in Nutrition (Books) #603 in Quick & Easy Cooking (Books) #1,297 in Special Diet Cooking (Books) | | Brand Name | VeloPress | | Color | One Color | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (520) | | Date First Available | September 27, 2012 | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 7.01 x 1.1 x 8.39 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 8.39 x 6.69 x 1.06 inches | | Item Weight | 454 Grams | | Manufacturer | VeloPress | | Material | Cellulose-based or similar non-woven material | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.85 Kilograms | | Part Number | 52495 | | Size | One Size | ## Images ![Skratch Labs Feed Zone Portables Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KwMp4-YUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for runners, bikers and hikers *by M***. on August 16, 2013* For years, I have loved long-distance running, but I always came back to a common problem: how can I avoid bonking at a critical part of the run because of not fueling right.

The reviews left me wondering if I'd even get anything good from it. I tried going to the bookstore to preview it, but was disappointed to see it wrapped in plastic. Seriously who does that? Anyway, I'm glad I purchased it! I figured this book was geared toward serious long distance athletes (which I am not), but I wanted to find some real food alternatives to energy bars. I don't have white flour/rice in my house and honestly, I don't think I'll make the recipes with them unless I knew I'd be biking for more than 2 hours. I see these recipes as inspiration and a starting point for me to customize to my own needs/wants. I can understand why some of the recipes are made to be quick and simplistic - not everyone enjoys cooking. The first recipe I tried was the 2 bite pie with warm crust and banana nut filing. It was a tasty small treat for my family after dinner. I can see I will find many uses for the recipes beyond the authors intentions. ## Frequently Bought Together - Feed Zone Portables: A Cookbook of On-the-Go Food for Athletes (The Feed Zone Series) - Feed Zone Table: Family-Style Meals to Nourish Life and Sport (The Feed Zone Series) - Run Fast.
