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!

Forget this low carb high protein stuff even if Dara Torres promotes it. All societies with healthy diets have one thing in common: a high consumption of fresh fruit and veggies. Make that your main food.
Chinese who eat a lot of rice stay lean because they eat a lot of veggies.
You can add protein(lean meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, dairy, eggs) to that, plus whole grains, nuts and seeds.
All societies with obesity problems have one thing in common: processed food. If you cut out sugar, processed food, soft drinks and junk food and stick to whole food you got a pretty solid diet.
Just my 2 cents....
