Cycling Nutrition plan

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I am new to the whole serious cycling with all the nutritional stuff and what not. does anyone have a provisional diet plan that has worked well? Preferably a long term(it doesn't even have to be cycling specific) plan.
