Paradise Lost

The Navy SEALS Workout!

I know it sounds crazy, but it actually seems pretty easy, and
the buildup is also fairly reasonable sounding.

That's the website if you want to check it out.
My main question is though, down where it talks about
nutrition, I was curious what specifically I should eat.
I've been living off of hot-dogs, cheese fries, and greased chicken
my entire time up here at college, and don't really know what
foods contain what.

They recommend:

NUTRIENT INTAKE
Carbohydrates 50-70% of calories
Protein 10-15% of calories
Fats 20-30% of calories

I could probably find Carbs, considering I eat 10,000 sunflower
seeds a day, but the other stuff I think I would have a hard
time sticking with everyday.


Any help would be much appreciated, even if it's about the exercises!

for some protein tuna is good, breads, pasta, whey protein shakes , carbs make sure they are the good carbs such as wheat, not bad ones like white bread, fats make sure its good fats again such as peanut butter, not lard.

^^^ I don't know if that's what you intended, but bread and pasta are not a good source of protein.
Protein comes mostly from animal sources, this means meat, dairy, eggs or anything else that's made from animals or comes out of an animal, beans being an exception. Your body uses protein to build and maintain muscle, as well as grow hair and nails.
Carbohydrates are mostly found in foods of plant origin, and can be classified as either sugars, starches, or fiber. Carbs are your body's main source of energy, since it's easy for your body to convert into glucose. It's important to note that any excess carbohydrates get stored as fat.
Fat comes in many different forms, some are good, but most are bad. Look out for saturated fats, they're the worst of the bunch, find foods with monounsaturated fats.

As for the diet, what exactly are your goals? You should calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). This is an estimate of your daily caloric needs based on your age, weight, gender, and activity level. If you want to lose weight, you'll have to eat less than this, if you want to gain any, you'll have to eat more.
If you want to build muscle, you'll need to take in about as many grams of protein as you weigh in pounds (if you weigh 150 pounds, try to get 150g of protein/day), This'll be more than 10% of your caloric intake. 40% Carbs/40% Protein/20% Fat is pretty good.
A couple of tips for you... keep away from fast food or refined, packaged, processed food. It's mostly devoid of nutritional value. Eat more vegetables.

I may come back and update this with some links, but I'm too tired right now.

I think you should update us on your progress. I've been wanting to try Category I, but I don't have the time.

As a quick rule of thumb:
Solid fats = saturated
Liquid fats = unsaturated (possibly mono)
that is, if I recall correctly.
