Do you have a high school wrestler that won't eat? Need some assistance preparing tasty and nutritious low-fat meals for your wrestler and the rest of the family at the same time? If so, then The Wrestler's Cookbook is for you! These recipes are not about "cutting weight", but rather enhancing a wrestler's competitive edge through healthy eating. Young athletes need foods that are high in protein, complex carbohydrates and anti-oxidants to help them perform optimally while training and competing. But, they also need to consume a minimum amount of calories daily. The Wrestler's Cookbook provides a compilation of 60+ recipes designed especially for young wrestlers and other athletes who may be watching their weight and are often difficult to feed due to misconceptions. Included are recipes for main meals, soups, desserts, snacks and drinks. Determine your athlete's daily calorie requirements by using the included chart based on the Katch-McArdle formula. Find foods that are high in protein, complex carbs and anti-oxidants. Recommended by dietitians and coaches alike, The Wrestler's Cookbook is a must.
