Fueling Triathlon Training: Meal Plans for Active Athletes

Question
I am an active triathlete who has gained weight due to injuries over the past 2 years.  I'm trying to put together meal plans which will satisfy my hunger as well as provide enough fuel for training.  My main concern is that I like a limited number of food items.  How can I go about making sound nutritional decisions based on the items I enjoy eating.  Most plans I've seen contain many items which I do not like and would not eat on a regular basis.  

Answer
Hello Tom!

   Thank you for your nutrition question.  The newly revised Food Pyramid website entitled http://www.mypyramid.gov allows you to create a menu plan tailored to your needs. When you get to the site you just have to enter your information such as age and weight and it will help you create a menu plan specific to your own personal taste and nutritional needs.  Hope this helps.
