She describes the neurobiology of food, including what fuels muscle, nutrition principles, and protein, strength, and muscle building; how to be a power eater as a vegetarian; how the body makes muscle; protein requirements and types; how to fuel workouts with specific types of foods; how to manage and burn fat; and the role of water. She discusses various vitamins and minerals, muscle-building products, and botanicals and their uses and potential for harm, then developing an eating plan, planning for peak competition, and menu plans for novices and highly muscled strength trainers for maintaining physique, building muscle, fat loss, and getting cut, with recipes.
