Sugars/fats..etc etc...

Someone please briefly educate me on sugars/carbs/fats to avoid

So I’ve pretty much completely cut Soda’s out of my diet, and usually just stick to the stuff I’ve always liked like juices. But after reading the nutritional guides many of the juices I drink many have sugar in them too like Frutopia, and other such brands. A LOT of other things had sugars in them too (even the stuff most people would consider healthy foods). So I’m here left thinking, is there “good” sugars just as there is good/bad fats?
The following is a nutritional guide from the back of a protein bar I’ve cut/paste from website. I’m assuming the 3g of Saturated Fat is the stuff to avoid, and 19g of sugars is not the best thing consider Sodas have around 32g?

Serving Size: 1 Bar
Servings Per Container: 12
Amount Per Serving:
Calories 290
Calories from fat 30
Total Fat 3g 5%
Saturated Fat 3g 15%
Total Carbohydrates 45g 15%
Sugars 19g
Protein 10g 20%
Calcium 52mg 5%
Phosphorous 28mg 3%
Sodium 150mg 6%
Potassium 70mg 2%
Basically I just want to know EXCATLY what to avoid from not putting back on the fat that I’ve lost over the past few months.
 
Protein bars are a list ditch effort for when you MUST have something you can eat on the run. Juices are loaded with sugar which I would stay away from unless its after a workout.

Stick to more whole foods and less processed

Lean Meats, eggs, oatmeal, potatoes, fish, vegetables, lowfat dairy products, brown rice, etc... If you think cutting out sugars is hard, try staying under the RDA of sodium, I struggle with it daily.

^^ Couldn't Agree more :)
 
rather then creating another thread i'll just ask it now..
i understand for bulking up you need a lot of calories to develop muscle, but isn't it protein?
 
Your body needs more calories than it is burning in a day to be able to add new tissue, if you sit on your butt and eat McDs it will add fat, if you eat clean and hit the gym hard it will use the extra calories to build muscle.

Its recommended to eat at minimum 1g/lb of protein when bulking and to shoot for 1.5 when cutting. 1.5 when bulking and 2.0 when cutting wouldn't hurt but may be a bit hard for some.

Recommended Daily Allowance or Recommended Dietary Allowance, RDA, ... recommendations for nutrients.

Not only that, but the RDA is the bare minimum to keep disease at bay, and that is if you do nothing(couch potato). Example the amount of vit. C they found to keep scurvy at bay.
