You are probably familiar with the food chart or pyramid that has been the backbone of healthy eating for many years. A similar chart is of course a very good idea to keep in mind when it comes to sports nutrition.

The web site of the University of Illinois Extension featured a food guide system that can help in evaluating the effectiveness of your diet.

Another useful chart on sports nutrition gives off the main functions of the four main nutrients needed by the body and the recommended intake for each.
