Teach me about nutrition!
I'm starting a new life, creating a new me, working with an empty refrigerator and a new (old) job. I am interested in changing my diet now, but I know very little about nutrition. I don't know what foods are good sources of what vitamins, or even what those vitamins do for me. I could pick up a book, but I don't even know how to find the information I'm looking for. What I'd like to do is post a description of what I'm looking for on this forum and have people chime in with tips that they feel will help (and hopefully not overwhelm) me.
Because I am not an expert, nor am I a chef, I just want to know a few things for each meal that will give me the right stuff inside my body for it to function nicely.
Breakfast -
Lunch -
Dinner -
Snacks -
In general, I'm looking for foods that boost energy, mental focus, muscle development and blood flow. I am not looking to be grossed out, struggling to suppress my gag reflex while trying to down my wheat grass smoothie. My goal is to simply be a little bit more conscious about what I eat, not necessarily become a fitness guru.
What kind of stuff should I have in my salad? What kind of meat should I be eating (I'm not giving up meat)? What should I totally avoid?
Thanks in advance.
