Athletes Diet: The triathletes who ate nearly twice as much, yet gained no weight, and improved their performance times by 8 per cent.

Most athletes say they are aware of the importance of good nutrition, but when they sit down to eat, their patterns of food intake are often considerably less than optimal. One key problem is that athletes often take in less energy than they really need to support strenuous training. Another is that they simply don't ingest enough carbohydrate.

a few good resources for starting out:

nutritiondata.com

there are lots of places to get nutrition data, but this site is the best organised and most powerful. they don't have the whole wheat pastry flour that i typically use to back but you can enter that data and use it in your "pantry" to put into recipes. a great tool.

hammer nutrition's resource page

these guys know quality and they know the science. up to date advice based on the latest peer reviewed science. i also use their protein powders frequently in my cooking.
