out of my league but it looks interesting none the less

An Athlete's Guide to Advanced Nutrition Testing
Diet and nutrition can feel a lot like facing than panel of judges, when it comes down to trying for performance improvement through diet change without supporting analytical data. Eating lots of broccoli can only take one so far. Many athletes depend on nutritional supplements to assist with their overall and performance nutrition. So how does one go about gaining quantitative insight into the nutritional state of the body? Blood and urine testing can provide extensive information, far beyond the more usual "cholesterol, sodium and protein" content of plasma.
