i actually have compiled many many articles from different bodybuilding magazines over time, and created my own sort of reference book. ofcourse theres a lot of crap in bodybuilding magazines, but that doesnt mean theres never anything good.

The Manifesto of Mass series...

My father had franco columbo's complete book of bodybuilding... He went in great detail with nutrition. Excellent tips. This guy used to eat his carbs and protiens at different times. So, if you were having steak and potatoe for dinner he would eat the steak first then the potatoe after, then a salid. He believed the digestive enzymes our body has, worked more efficiently this way.

franco Columbo's , book lol..My father was a bodybuider and competed and placed in two local contest. He gave me Franco Columbo's book to read. I dont know if it is the same book but this book was published a very long time ago. This man used to eat his carbs first then protien or visa versa. He believed it allowed the different digestive enzymes to digest each without conflict. He has alot of nutitional knowledge. My father placed second and third in two different big city competitions. He says he was natural cause the dboll gave him anxiety. He said he followed that book. In the book it breaks down the bioavailability of the different protiens. Eggs were in the lead with a 86% bioavalability, meaning 86% of the protien was digested rather then pissed out. He believed in taking digestive enzyme pills.. Its a very good book. My best friend had Arnies book. Between the two books, you need go nowhere else.

Dorian Yates blood and guts is good. If you want a really good book on nutrition for bodybuilders try Sliced by Negrita Jade and Bill Reynolds.
