    Log the foods you normally eat and see how the nutrients look in those.

    Meats, fruits, veggies, legumes, etc. can be used to meet your nutrient needs. Which ones do you like?

    Eat what you normally eat, just less of it. ;)

    All the foods! In combination.

    If you want to get anal about it, try and get a dark leafy vegetable, an orange vegetable, a dairy source, an oily fish or other protein, and a fibrous carb in to every meal. With a fruit for dessert.

    Fortified foods are great too. Like a slice of Wonder bread.

    A whole egg is amazing.

    But eggs have no vitamin C.
    So have your egg with some Kale roasted with a little olive oil and sea salt.
