I just want to know if anyone has any general nutrition tips. I've been eating whole-grains, lean meats, and EFAs, and I'm making progress, but tips would be appreciated.

You're on the right track. Make at least 50% of your diet fresh fruits and veges. Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day and include a complete protein source with each meal....grilled skinless chicken, egg whites, protein shake, turkey sandwich, salmon, etc. Include a starchy carb like baked potato, sweet potato, brown rice, whole wheat bread, vitamin-fortified whole-grain cereals, etc. Drink a lot of water. Green tea is also good. A little good fat is also important to have. Best fats are from fish (salmon particularly), extra virgin olive oil, seeds and nuts like almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, etc. Example of a good diet:

8 am - Grilled skinless chicken breast, one medium sized potato, one orange. One fish oil pill.

10:30 am - 5 egg whites, one whole egg, one small dry bowl of Kaishi cereal, a small bowl of lightly steamed broccoli

1 pm - one protein shake made with 8 oz. of skim milk and two scoops of whatever protein powder of choice you choose, small dark green salad consisting of shredded kale, collard greens, green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots. One small bowl of brown rice. One teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil

3:30 pm - turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, one slice of fat free cheese, and spinach. One apple. One carrot stick. One Fish oil pill.

6 pm - One piece of skinless grilled salmon. One sweet potato. a small bowl of strawberries. Two tablespoons of almonds and sunflower seeds.

Drink a lot of water in between meals.

Hope this helps

I wrote a short paper on nutrition that may give you a few tips. You can read it at the below link - click on nutrition. Good luck!

Eat 5-6 small meals per day

Avoid white sugar
Eat a lot of raw (uncooked) vegetables and fruits

Eat according to what you will be doing for the next three hours. For example, if you are going to train hard and long, take in some simple and complex carbs. If you are recovering from your weight workout, eat your protein meal.

If you are trying to build up muscle mass, take in one gram of protein per body pound. If you are really wanting to pack it on take two grams of protein per day per body pound.

Lots of water

Eat a good balanced breakfast. The most important meal of the day.

Don't eat late at night or just before bed time.

Good luck,
