I remember reading articles about Dana Torres where she mentioned how her current training diet was more protein based and not the carb loading that was her earlier training days.
As someone who is contemplating a higher level of training, I'm wondering what is the ideal ratio of protein/carb/fat is (Of course ice cream should be the 4th food group)... Of course I could just buy her book, but I doubt that would answer my questions : ).
If anyone has personal/professional experience glad to hear it, but equally interested in recommended resources web or paper based.
Thanks!

Since you asked for books on the topic that might be of interest, my first recommendation.
Amazon.com: Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance (9781934030516): Matt Fitzgerald: Books
When you eat is also (more?) important. Eating protein and carbs after workout improves recovery. Advertising claims there is an ideal ratio, research just shows that protein plus carbs after workout improves recovery over carbs alone and nothing. If you are going to train frequently, you should be concerned with decreasing recovery time.
