What are the best nutriments to take for Triathlon training ?

I honestly think that my (American) diet has plenty of protein in it. Generally speaking, we eat a LOT of meat in this country, so protein is generally covered. ...carbs, too. 

I do keep 6 boiled eggs in the fridge, so I can grab one for a snack after a workout or in a hurry. I take fish oil pills daily. There is a movement right now that suggests our cattle, pigs, chickens, and even farm-raised fish are fed way more corn and not grasses like they used to. This leads to a lack of Omega 3s in our diet. I hope these fish pills supplement that lack of fatty acids.

As you can tell, I know just enough to be dangerous. 

I don't think there is a good answer to this question.  We all have different diets and thus different intakes of nutrients.  I would say the best bet is to log your food intake and see if there are any deficiencies.  If there is see if there is a way you can work them in without supplements, if not use supplements as a last resource to bring things up to the levels you need. 

     

I think you are right on with some protein and glutamine. Especially for a post-workout shake, this is the most important time to get some much needed nutrition into the body.
I also add HMB into my post-workout or daily routine. It is a great recovery supplement.

I agree with the AP too, make sure and check your overall nutrition plan to make sure you are getting enough of the "right" proteins, carbs, fats, etc.

Thank you guys!
