Newbie Needs To Know Basics

[BigSwole84]

Ok, I am a newbie. I know that you need Lots of protien to build muscle. and Carbs for energy. but i focus on protien. I have a VERY high metabolism as i only turn 20 in 3 days. Can anyone give me the Basics on how to eat and what I need to stay away from, etc. Keep in mind, I started out very skinny and have put on 30 lbs in three months by eating alot of meats, tuna, protien shakes, water and creatine. But I read alot about complex carbs, fat, trans fat, sodium, etc. I really dont think I need to worry about fat right now as I have very little and am only worried about gaining weight right now. Can someone share their knowledge please???
Thanks!!!

well, do some research on this board. i'm sure you'll find all this info in the threads. if not, try limiting your carbs to ones with a low glycemic index. eat tons green veges, lean protein and healthy fats (fish oil, olive oil, nuts, flax oil). avoid partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup.
