I'm glad you are looking for nutrition in food vs diet supplements-I agree not too good for you and with you taking meds -shows you think with sense. You probably already know its 1.Protein 2.Carbs(the good kind) 3 Fats-derived from no-meat sources A example of a 6 meal eating plan(naturally they are 6 smaller meals compared to 3 large meals-watch the calories). No need to be carrying a calorie counter and measure every time you eat-unless overeater-But do check Contents-esp Sodium,Sugar,Fats and Calories PER SERVING. I start my day with 2 slices of Sprouted Grain Bread named Ezekiel found in the health food section of Kroger,in the freezer. Its a live sprouted grain bread -no flour-has barley,millet and so on and also I get the one that says low glycemic-the grains from the bible found Ezekiel Chaper 4verse9-I love it with no sugar preserves(currently i'm doing blueberries). Can also have a regular bagel with Cream Cheese or Oatmeal cooked in milk(skim)For sugar I use Stevita-from a plant 0 Cal.and no aspertame and so on.get at a health food store, can also cook with it-approx $3. but cheaper at a Farmers Market. Mid-morning can have Yogurt or fruit.cheese Lunch Chicken (baked)& steamed or microwaved vegetables mid afternoon cheese/fruit or yogurt-if really get a taste for chips get the baked and wach the serving amt and calories per serving Dinner-salad with no or low fat dressing-instead of iceberg(v.little nutrition value)eat other lettuce or greens and then whatever else Turkey or Fish(because of the Mercury content in fish I do not eat more than 2xweek) brown rice(more nutritious for white has hardly any) cranberry either whole or jellied-whole berries are better-I get canned---I'm not a dessert person but anything low-sugar and low-fat. Snacks-nuts esp walnut because high in fat(the good kind and proven to lower cholesterol no more than 15 pieces,Soy chips-I like the ones with cheese,Seeds-sunflower,pumpkin etc the trick to eating nutritious is to eat food that has fair amount of Vitamins,minerals and the least amount of man added such as growth hormones,antibiotics,pesticides-why i buy organic. Low sugar,low white flour. Investigate the health food section of your grocery Store and if there is one in your area the Farmers Market-for stuff is fresh and costs less. Some of the foods good for you------Salmon(although high in fat it is the good fat and it is high in protein-can have for any meal-often I will eat small patty for breakfast-but only WILD since the farm raised is way too high in fat for fish do not move very much-kept in ponds(small) and fed and it will say which ion the package, Berries-all are good whichever in season and also the dried-but chk sugar for higher in dried, Prunes are very good for high in Potassium,fiber and low-fat but if they stimulate too much limit to a couple here and there, apples-very healthy fruit and of course all the melons and citrus ruits, All Vegetables are great for loaded with nutrientsMineral,Vitamins -but no canned although I do here and there get corn for most too high in salt chk contnts for sodium Because you are working on defining muscles important you get sufficient protein-egg white although eggs are good for you Ok to have 2-3xweek-the whites is high in protein, Soy is good for protein and has a Protein shake that is safe and good for you-can find Kroger,health food store-nothing in it that is not natural or will harm-check it out, Tuna Fish is good biut again in moderation, Peanut Butter is also source of Proitein and good fat-if you can eat get low-salt,low sugar but hs to gt used to it You may want to go to Borders and get a good Nutrition Book for a handy reference that also has samples of meals

Work some vegetables into your plan, such as a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and olive oil, etc, or steam some carrots or broccoli. Fruit is great, but you need vegetables too. Toast may get boring, so I'd suggest using some other grains for variety. Using other grains will also fill in nutrition gaps. I'd suggest brown rice (you can mix it with beans to make a complete protein), oatmeal, quinoa, whole wheat noodles, or even wheat berries. Wheat berries are the non-processed form of wheat. You can cook a batch of them for several days, combine with rice, parsley, lemon juice, and lentils to make a very nutritious mini-meal. I keep a big bowl in the refrigerator.
