There are alot of factors when putting your diet together. Just know that a DIET is simply a way of eating. Don't get caught up into generalizations. This is about being organized and deliberate to meet your goals.
1. What is your normal activity level?
2. Age?
3. Body type? ecto, meso or endo?
4. Some people are carb sensitive while others are not. Some people do well with limited ranges of protein while others thrive on large amounts.
5. Understanding the glycemic index and the different types of carbs is invaluable. Low, medium and high glycemic carbs digest at different rates. These digestion rates have a place in your diet. The key is to know where and when.
6. Proteins digest at different rates as well. I also say to keep it simple. A whey for the first meal and right after training is great. During the day and at night hit a multiblend that digests slower. Consider throwing in BCAA mixes during training and before cardio as well.
7. FIBER! You need it. It curbs the appetite in the evenings. It helps digest proteins. Its good for the digestive system.
8. Lots of water. Forget soda etc...drink clean, clear water for the staple in your diet.
This is a starting point of things to consider. It really isnt rocket science but many of use get so overwhelmed with information that we just are not sure where to start...if at all.
