Eat to Climb – Nutrition book for rock climbers

"Eat to Climb" is a must-read for climbers seeking a science-backed, practical guide to nutrition—written by a climber who truly understands the sport.

Mina Leslie-Wujastyk’s Eat to Climb is a comprehensive and evidence-based nutrition manual tailored specifically for rock climbers. As a former international competition climber and elite boulderer, Mina Leslie-Wujastyk brings both scientific rigor and firsthand experience to the table, making this book uniquely credible and relatable.

Why It Stands Out

• Written by a climber, for climbers: Mina Leslie-Wujastyk’s deep understanding of the physical and mental demands of climbing gives her advice real-world relevance.
• Evidence-based approach: The book cuts through trendy diet fads and misinformation, focusing instead on scientifically grounded principles.
• Structured for clarity: It’s divided into two main sections—Principles and Methods. The first lays out the foundations of nutrition (macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, supplements), while the second shows how to apply these concepts in training and performance contexts.

• How to calculate and manage energy intake for different climbing goals.
• The role of macronutrients (carbs, protein, fat) in recovery and endurance.
• Importance of micronutrients and how to avoid common deficiencies.
• Strategies for hydration and supplement use tailored to climbers.
• How to adapt nutrition for training cycles, competition, and rest days.

Who It’s For

Whether you're a weekend warrior, a seasoned pro, or just starting out, Eat to Climb offers actionable insights that can elevate your performance and recovery. It’s especially valuable for those who feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice and want a clear, climber-specific roadmap.
