Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below So I am kind of looking for a small diet. I dont know whats the best drink I can drink and what kind of foods I should eat. I am not looking to go all out and buy a bunch of different shit to get me super pumped. Just a basic guideline to follow. I know soda isnt good I cut that out already. What should I drink? OJ? Coffee? Grape Juice? I really dont have a clue.
Diet?

Im going to guess you are bulking so in short you should drink milk, water and green tea and you should eat these sorts of foods:
lean cuts of steak
chicken breast
whole eggs
cottage cheese
yams
red potatoes
white potatoes - good for PWO
natural peanut butter
fruits
vegetables
brown rice
oats
fish
turkey
wholemeal bread
olive oil or grapeseed oil for cooking
cheese is calorie dense but dont over do it
basically you want quality sources of protein, and it sounds like your on a budget so chicken, eggs and milk can be cheap sources which you can buy in bulk, look out for offers at the shops on steak and stock up when there is and freeze it. For carbs you want mainly slow digesting carbs, like yams, brown rice, red potatoes, oats as mensioned, and some fast digesting carbs after workouts. For fats you should try to concentrate on healthy fats, good sources are whole eggs, olive oil, flaxseed oil and grapseed oil, natural peanut butter and nuts. Milk has alot of fat in it too so you dont have to go crazy with other fat sources.
You should also try to make your diet up mainly of whole foods, rather than whey protein and protein powders. Take them post workout yeah but the rest of the time real food is better...

You need to pack your own lunch and bring it to work, make meals the night before, its super easy if your planning it a bit, i worked in a fry kitchen for 3 years when i was younger and didn't have a problem, i just brought my lunch to work. I really wouldn't be eating anything from McDonalds even if i was bulking, its just about the shittiest food you can eat.

i hope you were kidding when you gave your opinion by saying eating a little fast food isnt bad... if the guy is 6'2" 130# i still wouldnt recoment eating fast foods. why not eat more of the good foods.. set someone down the correct path.. extra calories?? eat another chicken breast with some veggies in olive oil.
not a mcdonalds burger..you are already heading down the second place path saying that..
same thing today as 60 years ago... the big 3.
proper diet... proper training... proper rest..
AND NO DRUGS!!!!!!!!!
just my opinion.

Extramile was definitely correct. As an ectomorph it is extremely hard to get enough calories with just chicken. You are going to need some junk foods for sure.
