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!

My team has a trainer that we can meet with and I do so before meets for stretching. She has given us diet recommendations. Off the top of my head I can't remember what the break down of protein/carbs/fats she recommends (and I'm on the couch after ankle surgery) but the biggest change I've made is drinking (or eating) a protein drink after each practice or other workout. It helps the muscles recover better. I have noticed I can do an intense workout and get in the next day for another intense one and not feel it as much as before.
When I get a chance, I'll look for her diet sheet and post more.
