Nutrition

I need some recommendations regarding nutrition.

The reason I say this is my goals seem to be competing with each other.

To make a long story short I weightlift, do calesthenics, swim, and run.

The problem is since Ive turned up the weight lifting Ive gained weight which is the opposite of what I want to do. Of course Im enjoying the benefits of lifting ie increased strength and muscle. But I need to be lighter to stay good on the run and getting up a rope.

Even though I eat only about 2000 calories per day, work out and run Im still not really loosing weight which is frustrating.

When I seek out books on sports nutrition they seemed to be aimed at either endurance athletes or bodybuilders. The also all seem to push supplements which is something I dont use.

My goals are endurance and strength. I want to be able to run, swim, and lift and do all three well.

Do you guys have any recommendations for books on all around general sports nutrition?

Thanks
