Someone mentioned Nutrient Timing, too. Susan Kleiner wrote the nutrition plan in that book, too.

She was skeptical about protein supplements earlier in her career, but she's come around the past few years, which is a hell of a thing for someone in mid-career to do. I mean, how many nutrition gurus ever change their minds about anything?

Another interesting thing about Susan: Early in her career, I believe she was the first scientist to actually study the nutritional needs and practices of competitive bodybuilders. This was in the late '80s, when that was a pretty radical thing to do.

She's one of the good people in our world, with unimpeachable integrity. And it's worth pointing out that she's worked with more pro athletes than most gurus have even met.
