What should I eat?

Here are the foods that should comprise the majority of your diet in order to promote a lean healthy body:

Vegetables, fruits, lean white and red meats, fish, low-fat or fat-free dairy, eggs and egg whites, whole unrefined grains, legumes (peas, beans, peanuts), whole grain bread, high fiber cereals (avoid low fiber cereals, even if they are unsweetened; they are acceptable only as a post-workout meal), nuts, seeds, and non-hydrogenated minimally processed oils (such as extra virgin olive oil, flax seed oil, and virgin coconut oil).

You’ll have fewer cravings for food when you’re getting all the nutrients you need. Keep in mind that even if you eat a well balanced diet comprised of all of the foods listed above, you will not get lean if you’re still eating too many calories for your individual needs.
