Nutrition, like politics or religion, is a subject that inspires passionate convictions. Though many of these convictions are valid, I recommend that you be conservative in your choice of diet, and practice a common-sense approach.

Research suggests that the athlete’s diet should be composed of at least 60% carbohydrates, 20-25% fats, and the rest proteins.  This is quite a change from the 50-30-30 ratio widely recommended in the past.
