About this listen
Sports Nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald has spent nearly twenty years studying the diets of top professional endurance athletes, who are among the fittest and healthiest people in the world. As a result, he has identified five core habits—most of which are contrary to what popular diets advise—that are essential to maximizing workout benefits. The Endurance Diet shares key strategies for optimal health and performance: eat everything, eat quality, eat carbohydrate, eat enough, and eat individually. Whether you want to lose weight, win a race, or look a little more like an elite athlete, this plan is for you.
“I am always amazed at how much I learn from Matt Fitzgerald’s books.” –Shalane Flanagan, Olympic bronze medalist

This book falls far short of its claims to be grounded in science. The author’s approach—relying on 20 athletes to provide a single day’s food diary—cannot be considered a robust or comprehensive study. Just because these athletes consumed meat, dairy, eggs, grains, salads, and seeds on that particular day does not justify labeling it as the "perfect endurance diet."
One particularly frustrating moment was when the author asserted that an athlete who followed a vegan diet for four months required four years to recover. This claim is not only unsubstantiated but also absurd. Many plant-based and vegan athletes are setting world records and excelling in endurance sports, which contradicts the notion that vegan diets are inherently harmful to athletic performance.
Overall, this book is riddled with anecdotal evidence and questionable claims that undermine its credibility. For those looking for truly science-based advice on nutrition for endurance athletes, this is not the resource to trust.
