Eh diet is one of those things that's very personal. I tend to stress to my fam that they don't over eat. Growing up in an Italian American house there's always excess, esp with my parents and us 4 kids. And everyone tends to take huge portions, while my brother, youngest sister and I are the only ones getting excercise. I don't get how my pops inhales huge portions of meat, big steaks, etc. I can only eat alot when i've been in a sustained period of excercise (multiple hours a day or every other day) and my muscles are growing.

But besides that i try to get a lot of variety as we are omnivores and require such. Nuts and fruits tend to get neglected, but once i consciously realized it it became easier to incorporate them in. Oh and plenty of water, i dont over do it, but 2-4 bottles of water a day + ice tea (natural w/ no sugar) tend to be my liquids of choice. Juices tend to come from low-quality fruits and often have pesticides in trace amounts, they're also artificially sweetened, so i stick to all natural/organic stuff which i dilute.

Things i've cut down or cut out have been soda, snacks, anything packaged/processed, or anything with carcinogenic preservatives, or artificial chemicals. I don't eat much red meat, or dairy, but everyonce in awhile it's a nice supplement. I started changing my diet after i took cellular bio, biochemistry and microbiology.
