If you don't have an allergy or an intolerance to a food (or other health issue), then there is no reason to cut it out of your diet ... That's the first thing ...

As far as what is nutritionally sound ... Whole, minimally processed foods are ideal ... You know, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, (antibiotic and hormone-free) dairy (any animal: cow, goat, sheep, etc.), eggs, meat (lunchmeat and bacon are cool, just look for nitrate-free varieties), poultry, fish, shellfish, legumes/beans, rice/grains (preferably unhulled/polished). cold pressed oils (olive, walnut, avocado, etc. ...)

Alcohol in moderation ... because, really ... wine is yummy ...
Research suggest that wine and beer are actually healthy in moderation, not the fru-fru sugary cocktails ...

So, 90% of the time eat this stuff, and the other 10% live a little and have a candy bar and a shot or a cosmo ...

Calories in, calories out: True for weight loss, but OP said "nutrition" ...

I guess you missed macronutrients for health part, huh?

I started with nothing from a bag, can, or box. That was hard for me, but I started cooking and eating fresher.
