Nutrition Website
Anyone out there know of a website that deals with nutrition for the endurance athlete? I'm looking for something with unbiased information, ie. not trying to sell me ergogenic aids and telling me everything works wonders. So, preferably something .org, or .gov. I'd really appreciate any input. Thanks all.

Buy "In Defense of Food" then "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants"

I too question how relative/accurate/worthwhile nutrition information form the government is. Read up on the history of the "recommended daily allowances" ("Paradox of Plenty" has good history) and you'll see how far off and even faddish government nutrition info has been.
But yes, you shouldn't expect unbiased info from someone trying to sell you something.
IIRC Cptips.com has some good info.

If needed you can email or call him with specific questions.
I have spoken to him. Very knowledgeable.

You can customize it to reflect the amount of working out (riding) you do and it gives you a fairly accurate output of what you should be consuming.

the nutrition data website machka mentioned is brilliant. it looks like they've changed their look since i last visited, but my past experiences with it were great. it has everything.
