Uh-huh.

Carbs. Proteins. Fats.

I'd recommend about 55% carbs, 25- 30% proteins, and 10- 15% fats (the good fats, as in unsaturated). Eat clean.

There is a more complicated means of calculating caloric intake based on the intensity of your training, but dang is it convoluted (Kravitz explains some of it in one of his articles), and I wouldn't do it unless I were personally training you.

Honestly, there aren't a lot of tricks or supplements that are going to work to increase your performance. Supplements, at best, are hit or miss solutions, and they seem to be more expensive than they're worth. The only supplement I can confidently recommend is a multivitamin.
