When I started understanding more about the body, "food stuff"
tended to be the thing I hated to deal with the most.  I didn't want
anyone telling me I couldn't have my dozen donuts every Sunday
(true story that related to my childhood reward for going to church).  I
didn't want anyone telling me I could have my large pizza for dinner
or my bag of peanut butter cups while watching a movie.  We have
all been there at some point to different extremes.  "Food stuff" or
anything that deals with habits, food choices, food cravings, alcohol
consumption to the timing of food, is a tough thing to change (if you
let it be).  I hope I can educate people on the basics of food stuff to
get you in the right direction.

There are three habits that always have to be there no matter how
well you eat.

First, we need to monitor our fluid intake.  Our bodies lose 1.5 liters
of water through perspiration, respiration and urination a day.  It
would make sense to me that we need to replace at least that much.
 If we are more active and sweat more or if we drink liquids
(diuretics) that cause us to urinate more,  we need to drink even  
more water.  Our muscles are made up of water and if we are trying
to improve them, we need to keep them hydrated..  
Second, we need to eat frequently and often.  It does not need to be much food each time we eat.  Our
body needs to have a steady flow of energy to be able to use it efficiently.  There are other  psychological
factors explaining why frequent small meals work better for us but I will save that for another time.

Third,  we need to monitor all of our available energy sources: Macro-nutrients.  Macronutirents are
proteins, fats and carbohydrates.  Not all macronutrients are created equally for our bodies.  We also
need to have the correct amount of each. For now, just make sure that every time you eat, you eat some
fat, some protein and some carbohydrates.  The balance of these can get very scientific and boring to
comprehend.  However, that doesn't undervalue the importance.  I can help you understand each
macronutrient, its importance to your body and its value.
