I did a quick search on the web and here are a few links that might be of some help -

http://www.nutrition.gov/home/index.php3

http://www.eatright.org/Public/

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/

Also, you might consider a newspaper article on the USDA that I am posting to the list as a separate thread, look for the subject line -

USDA assailed for promoting fatty foods while pushing healthy diets

not sure how you could do a project on that since you shouldnt exercise after eating straight away anyway ;)..you could do a comparison on exercise like 30 minutes later perhaps...then you could compare white plain pasta (high glycemic) then observe heart rate and perceived energy levels (talk test) through 30 minutes of exercise for example...then you could compare the same amount of pasta but with a low glycemic version such as duram wheat semonila and then measure how hard the exercise is...then in an 'problems encountered' section of her report you could state the tests are highly subjective to personal opinion since , apart from a heart rate monitor it is difficult to be accurate as to how hard the person is working through the talk test...and you could talk about the amount of time inbetween exercise sessions (days or even a week etc) and how that could affect results...and by comparing foods that have both high glycemic versions and low glycemic versions such as pasta, rice and bread you can determine which gives the best energy release through energy levels in exercise 30 minutes after consumption....theres an idea anywayz :)
