Fitness Reference Resources and Programs
Precision Nutrition This has been my favorite nutrition program for the past two years. It is a complete package, customizable for all levels from beginners to super-advanced workout-and-nutrition-aholics. It’s straight-forward and well-balanced and they’ve even provided a customized solution for vegetarians with the release of V3. Seriously worth the look.
Gourmet Nutrition – The Fancy Version This cookbook used to be an eBook. Then they went and turned it into a solid, tangible object filled to the brim with stunning food photography. It’s a little pricey, but has remained my go-to workhorse in the kitchen since the day I bought it. If I set aside a quarter for every time I used this book, I’ve paid it off many times over.
Turbulence Training GREAT bodyweight workout plans and amazing, supportive community. When you join Turbulence Training you’re getting a ton of resources that are updated and added to daily. Warning: these workouts are hard.
