As there was some interest in swimming-related nutrition, please post comments to this thread. Diets, timing of consumption in relation to swimming, metabolism, and links to nutrition sites for athletes would seem appropriate.

Been stockpiling nutrition/diet info since I joined here, so far its helped me a lot with my semi-diet, lost close to 10 lbs already watching what I eat, swimming 4-5 days a week, and using a food watch website! Hope it helps whoever needs it:
- Pretty good .pdf file swimshark sent me, describes caloric intake timing before and after swimming and the basics on carbs, protein, etc.
www.mediafire.com/
- Love this site, can search and enter the food you ate for the day and it breaks down your caloric intake needed for the day. Carbs, protein, fat broken down in a graph form and helps you set weight loss goals.

- Basic nutrition site explaining what the diff Vitamins, protein, fats are. Pretty standard nutrition tips all around.
http://www.nutristrategy.com/
- Found this here that describes what all that junk is in the dietary supplement pills.
