Are you eating the foods you should be for energy, recovery and fitness?
Suppose you could only stock your kitchen with 10 foods. As an endurance athlete, which foods should you choose?
If you asked a dozen sports nutritionists to answer this question, you would almost certainly get a dozen different lists. But they would have some overlap, and share general similarities despite their specific differences.
