As it is an anaeorobic sport the best diet for it would be lots of starchy carbohydrate rich foods, this is because the food releases energy slowly and helps when the quick release of energy is needed.

Before you go to the shot put drink lots of glucose rich drinks which will also help to release the energy and get a good distance.
