This is the current mentality of many young lifters, with an emphasis on macronutrients above all. It tends to ignore the plethora of benefits associated with micronutrients; vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc etc.
Honestly, your best bet is to develop sound nutritional habits rather than a diet. This is a great article on the subject
Jim Wendler also offered some great advice on his blog
- Eat 3-5 meals/day.
2 Have some kind of whole food protein at each meal (eggs, chicken, beef, fish). Full-fat meats/eggs are not bad.
3 Have a fruit or vegetable at each meal. It doesn’t matter what kind – eat what you like.
4 Drink no-calorie beverages. Yes, you can drink diet soda. - Have some rice, potatoes, oatmeal, whole grain breads, pasta at each meal. Carbs are not the devil.
- All meals/food should be WHOLE food.
