does anyone know a good cookbook for training. I'm a student who needs to start eating better but I have no idea as far as preparing meals. I'm looking for something that has good healthy but not extrremely low calorie meals.

My advice is to go to a bookstore that has a large cookbook section (Borders, B&N, etc.) and look at different ones. Find a few that have recipes and foods that appeal to you and are on your level of cooking and meal preparation. Then pick the one(s) you want.
FYI: When I got divorced about 10 years ago and had to do the cooking for myself and two growing boys (11 and 13 at the time) I picked out the "popular" cookbooks that a few friends recommended. I couldn't prepare more than a few things from them. Gave them away shortly thereafter. Spent a couple of hours on a Saturday looking at all the cookbooks in the bookstore and got one that I liked.
I have since remarried but still have it and use it occassionally when it is my turn to cook. Most of the time I'm the cleaner-upper and "assistant" cook. :)

I don't know if it's still in print (my copy is from 1990), but if you can find it Nancy Clarke's Sports Nutrition Guidebook is very good. It discusses various aspects of nutrition and gives some good tasting recipes that don't take a rocket scientist to cook.
