Loose Leaf for Williams' Nutrition for Health, Fitness and Sport [Loose-leaf]

Nutrition for Health, Fitness and Sportuses a question-answer approach, which is convenient when you may have occasional short periods to study, such as riding a bus or during a lunch break. In addition, the questions are arranged in a logical sequence, the answer to one question often leading into the question that follows. Where appropriate, cross-referencing within the text is used to expand the discussion. No deep scientific background is needed for the chemical aspects of nutrition and energy expenditure, as these have been simplified. Instructors who use this book as a course text may add details of biochemistry as they feel necessary.Chapter 1Introduction to Nutrition for Health, Fitness, and Sports Performance
