Here is another link to add to your favourites:

Glycemic Index Database

It will give you a breakdown on the glycemic index of all foods. You will want to primarily use low to medium range glycemic foods within your daily intake. High glycemic sources, namely dextrose/maltodextrin, should be confined for post workout use.

Well based on memory, here are some good foods that should be the staple of any athletes diet:

Carbs
-Raw Oats (not that sugary stuff)
-Brown Rice
-Vegtables; brocolli, cauliflower, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, etc
-Fruits; bananas, apples (might not wanna go gung-ho here because of the large sugar content, however, fruits are healthy for many reasons).
-Whole wheat bagels
-Whole wheat pasta

Protein
-Cottage cheese 1% or dry curd
-Chicken breast
-Turkey breast
-Ground turkey
-Extra Lean ground beef
-Salmon
-Tuna
-Egg whites (or omega-3 whole eggs)

Mix and match those foods as you see fit and you should see great strides in your physique.
