General "guide" to nutrition?

  1. Is there an eating guide somewhere on the web? I'm a college student who will be returning home for the summer. I've been eating like shit all year and now I'm going to be living with my parents for the next 3 months I want to maximize what I can do with my time (In terms of overall health).

    The working out part is easy, that's just following a guide instructing me how to do a few compound movements. Eating right has been a challenge for me, but I'd like to read up and learn the most I can about what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat, etc.

    Thanks
     
  2. guide to eating healthier:
    Watch trans fats
    watch saturated fats
    watch ALL fats
    No real butter
    watch sugars
    no pork
    no red meat ( *Exception)
    eat chicken or * Tenderloin beef
    eat raw or steamed vegetables
    NO SoDa
    No Fruit Juice
    Drink Water
    eat whole grains
    no white bread
    eat whole and long grain rice or brown rice
    eat oatmeal
    man if you follow these simple guidelines and try to keep to under 1500 calories a day you should eat well, stay slim as hell and lower your chloresterol and look damn good when you get back to school.
    :wave:

    oh yeah eat POT BROWNIE's........they are not good for you but they make you feel oh so good.
     
  3. No, don't watch your fats. Fat doesn't make you fat too much food makes you fat. And don't buy into the saturated fat thing either it's never been proven. There's countries out there that eat plenty of saturated fat and have little heart disease. We've been eating saturated fat from animals since....forever.

    I belive it's sugar that fucks us up the most.

    As a rule of thumb OP, I tell everyone to try to only eat Vegetables, Animals, and fruit. Not too much fruit if your looking to lose weight though, if not don't worry about it.

    Also 1500 calories is mad low if your an active person. If your sedentery then thats a good number to strive for though.

    Bread is aiight I guess but theres evidence it blocks nutrients from being absoarbed into your body. WHole grains even more than white bread. Theres also nothing in bread you can't get a ton of from veggies and such. Stick to rice, white rice (with butter or oil or some fat so you don't spike your insulin, leading to blood sugar crashes and possible weight gain)
