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!

I guess the only problem that I have with your links is that all of these studies are correlation studies. People have been drinking/eating milk products and meet for literally thousands of years - just the same as we have been eating (glorious) meat. These very same people are probably drinking soft drinks, eating trans fats, and possibly living a sedentary lifestyle (lack of impact on the body through activity could be said to correlate to lower bone density due to less compaction on the bones - that of course is just hearsay.)
Find me a study that shows the direct effect of proteins or specific ingredients (hormones don't count, because you can get organic or certified hormone free milk) in calcium-laden dairy products on the production of bone mass in the body and I will gladly take my giant wedge of sharp swiss cheese, my glass of milk and my Ben and Jerry's Vermonster (1 word: Glorious) and toss them all out the window (metaphorically speaking of course) and gladly replace my dairy intake with rice, almond and soy based products.
