Fitness on a Plate – Anita Bean

Fitness on a Plate: Anita Bean’s Guide to Healthy Eating is a practical nutrition guide for active people who want to support fitness and exercise through healthier eating.

Written by sports nutritionist Anita Bean, the book explains how a balanced diet can provide the nutrients and energy needed before exercise while supporting recovery afterwards. It offers nutrition advice for different types of physical activity, ranging from aerobic exercise to strength and weight training, together with practical sample eating plans.

Designed as an accessible everyday reference rather than a highly technical nutrition textbook, the book combines straightforward explanations with practical tips, question-and-answer sections, case studies, and sport-specific guidance.
