@JayD There are a couple of good threads on nutrition going that gives great advice here [Your personal best way to lose some fat - anecdotes / experiences / examples of what kicked your \*\*\* - #11 by julianoliver](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/your-personal-best-way-to-loose-some-fat-anecdotes-experiences-examples-of-what-kicked-your/594/11) and here [Let’s talk about food 🍕🌮🍟](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/let-s-talk-about-food/1172) But, [here is a list](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/your-personal-best-way-to-loose-some-fat-anecdotes-experiences-examples-of-what-kicked-your/594/11) I posted in one of those threads: > [@Your personal best way to lose some fat - anecdotes / experiences / examples of what kicked your \*\*\*](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/your-personal-best-way-to-lose-some-fat-anecdotes-experiences-examples-of-what-kicked-your/594/11): > > [Matt Fitzgerald: Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance](https://www.amazon.com/Racing-Weight-Lean-Peak-Performance/dp/1934030996/ref=pd_bxgy_14_2?tag=trainerroad-20) > [Matt Fitzgerald: Endurance Diet](https://www.amazon.com/Endurance-Diet-Discover-Greatest-Athletes/dp/0738218979?tag=trainerroad-20) > [Georgie Fear: Lean Habits](https://www.amazon.com/Lean-Habits-Lifelong-Weight-Loss-ebook/dp/B00O0FJ66K?tag=trainerroad-20) > [John Walker: The Hacker’s Diet](https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/) (free!) > [Michael Matthews: Bigger, Leaner, Stronger](https://www.amazon.com/Bigger-Leaner-Stronger-Building-Ultimate-ebook/dp/B006XF5BTG/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?tag=trainerroad-20) (written for muscle building, but the nutrition section for a cut is very relevant and consistent with the other books listed). ---

There are two or more books From the author of this book [Portables](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQCI2U8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_dx-RBbBQPQXTR?tag=trainerroad-20). And there are very good books from [Hannah Grant](https://www.amazon.com/s?tag=trainerroad-20&k=hannah+grant&ref=is_s) (Amazon Video: Eat. Race. Win.). But it’s more daily nutrition than training fuel. There some vegan books with nice recipes : [Brazier](https://www.amazon.com/s?tag=trainerroad-20&k=brandon+brazier&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_12) and [Frazier](https://www.amazon.com/dp/1615192662/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_vF-RBbYWFXB85?tag=trainerroad-20) ---

Agree, they are excellent. I would also add the two [Velochef](https://www.amazon.com/Velochef/dp/1743791941?tag=trainerroad-20) books by Henrik Orre, although I think the first one was superior. ---

I liked [Run Fast Eat Slow](https://www.amazon.com/Run-Fast-Eat-Slow-Nourishing/dp/162336681X/?tag=trainerroad-20) and the [follow up book by the same author](https://www.amazon.com/Run-Fast-Cook-Eat-Slow/dp/1635651913/?tag=trainerroad-20). Some of the recipes we tried have been very well reviewed by wife & kid and been sufficient (read: lots of high quality carbs) to fuel intense TR sessions. Which isn’t something that can be said about a lot of other healthy recipe collections ---

I have found Asker Jeukendrup’s [blog](http://mysportscience.com) informative, credible, and well-written. The third edition of his book, [Sport Nutrition](http://a.co/d/8hb0jNc), should be shipping within two weeks. Based on the [preview](http://bit.ly/jeukendrupandgleeson), it seems to be a comprehensive and well-organized book, with a fairly hefty price tag. ---

Highly recommend Paleo Diet For Athletes by Joe Friel & Loren Corden. HAs awesome info on timing nutrition, pre post and during fuel etc. (don’t expect pretty food pictures, just great advice) ---

Like others have mentioned here, The Endurance diet was a great read. I’ve tried logging calories, intermittent fasting and while there were some results, the proces wasn’t “fun”. Food became associated with stress instead of enjoyment. Where Mats approach differs is that It doesn’t strictly exclude anything, but promotes quality. While I don’t log calories I use the DQS app, which allows me to easily track the types of food that I’ve ate and while the app isn’t that great (graphs suck) it motivates me to eat “well”. ---
