White flour products, white sugar are two examples.
A good way to construct a diet is to determine your daily nutritional needs. The gov't MDR standards are a good place to start. Try to meet the standards for your age, weight, height, body type, activity level. Purchase the best and freshest whole foods to fill those needs. Then tweak it from there. Lot's of good info out there.

Vegetable soup with herbs for example gives a feeling of fullness preventing overeating of foods with cholesterol. I make my own secret choice which fruit to eat most. There are the expensive powerful antioxidant ACAI and GOJI berry available online and special shops selling organic products. But the berry I secretly choose available frozen at the supermarket is cheaper and just as powerful if eaten enough each week. Fruit secrecy is necessary to avoid jealousy with your family members and friends. Even if I have a low-paid job, I can be just as healthy as billionaire Bill Gates because poor or rich we all buy at the supermarket.
Four Chicken eggs fried in canola butter every day I believe can be more easily absorbed in the body for quicker healing. Good cholesterol in eggs is the key secret of fast healing when combined with the antioxidant power of vitamin C from fruit and vegetables. Vegetables and fruit do not contain good cholesterol. Eggs do not contain enough vitamin C. Vegetarians, fruitarians and meat-only eaters must not rely on one type of food.

Everything on your list (with the exception of bagels & koolaid, yuck!) is food that I love. I eat what I want, but don't get heavy because I get plenty of exercise playing with (and like) a toddler. Lots of running, jumping, sword fighting and Little Tykes car pushing. I watch people at work eating cans of tuna for lunch instead of good food and feel very sorry for them. If you're miserable with what you are choosing to eat, you're going to have a difficult time staying with it. |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | My personal eating philosophy is: The closer it is to the way God originally created it the better it is. This means I will choose:
Olive or coconut oil rather than Canola Oil (Canola is one of the worst oils, it is a highly refined form of rape seed oil, canola actually comes from Canada oil)
Butter rather than Margarine
Honey rather than White sugar
Wholemeal flour rather than white flour.
100% juice rather than soft-drinks
Full-cream unhomogenised milk rather than Skim milk or homogonized milk
And so on...
It has worked for me... |

your main diet should be complex carbs, lean protein, veggies, fruit. assuming you're on a diet for fat loss, do FUN cardio activities.
sugar, white bleached flour, and similar high GI items shoot your insulin levels, which increases your chance of fat gain. these are generally taken after a workout, or during some kind of prolonged exercise. |

suggestions. I go low fat, low sodium, lots of water, lemon juice and
coconut milk to drink, small meals, slow down while eating and chew your
food well. Try to eat 4 or 5 meals through out the day and don't let
yourself get very hungry so you don't overeat when you do eat. |

a diet?, calorie-counting? - what's that sounds like grueling hard work,
like "labor pains", but without (the BABY), at the end.
None of that, succeeds.
How about just *enjoying Nutrient-rich foods...*
you know, empowering you youthful & fun!!  Originally Posted by JoshIcedogs But i need to know if the current food i have for meals are good or bad.
I know what is bad so i won't put the obvious in.
Kraft dinner?
Grill Cheese?
Cheese Pizza?
Garlic Bread Good or Bad?
Toast with Cheese, or
Begals with Peanut butter?
Pancakes?
Milk (not the low %)?
Kool Aid?
Thats all for now.
Thanks
that Standard-american fare is a killer! - how fast you wanna be sick?
if you aren't now, you will be before long. Why?
Where, in the "Garden-of-Eden" was any found of the above? NOwhere.
maybe garlic, later on; but that's it!

As a former Nutrition-coach, you need for starters:
1. whole-Veggies, especially the color-vibrant
2. whole-Fruits, especially the color-deep
3. Proteins, like from eggs, seeds & sprouted, nuts, deep-sea fish, turkey & chicken
4. pure water
5. herbs
6. seasonings, spices &
7. supplements
When you are ready to know more, I will share... 
I wish you the youthful & healthy fun I continue enjoying, for a 100++ years!
