Hey Ruddsta! Awesome job trying to get your diet setup. Your diet will be key to success but it doesn't have to be difficult. I understand the nutrition guide can be intimidating but it will start to make more sense as you go. Focus on 5-6 meals a day (3 solid meals and 2-3 snacks). Now I am not a nutritionist so I can't give you nutrition consultation but I can tell you what i do and what has worked from me. Play with these ideas and modify to your liking. If these don't fit your tastes let me know - Here are some things I use.
Portions:
Chicken 1/2 Breast Sliced Ham: 2-3 Clicse Tuna: 1 Can Pork: 1 chop * I don't eat red meat though on a very rare occasion I'll treat myself to a nice juicy burger on the grill - I pick the leanest ground beef possible and usually fill a 1/3 cup and then form the patty. Put this on a whole wheat burger bun - Add some Pickles - Ketchup and or mustard - Lett - Tom - Onion. You've got yourself a delicious but not really all that bad meal. Just make sure it's the leanest beef you can find like 97/3 meat/fat or even 98/2. This is a good treat every once in awhile to say thank to yourself.
Some Carb portions:
Whole Grain Pasta: 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Bread: 1 Slice as a side meal or if your making a sandwich then 2 slices. Rice: 1/2 Cup Cooked
Veggies:
With anything you want to eat within reason though veggies don't matter as much - It's the condiments you add that make it bad. Avoid butter and salt if you can. Sometimes a nice treat would be a Baked Sweet Potato Topped with a Tablespoon of Dark Brown Sugar. If your like me I love my sweets so this is a way for me to cheat myself into thinking it's desert :).
Some of my meals:
Breakfast
1/2 Cup Egg White (Sometimes a whole egg with 1/4 Cup Egg Whites) 2-3 Slices of Ham or Turkey pan fried in veggie oil or Dry 1 Slice Wheat Toast with 2 Tablespoons of all Natural Peanut Butter Coffee or OJ or just Water
Lunch
1 Can Tuna 1-2 Tablespoons low fat mayo *Sometimes it's good to toss in some raisins or some apple junks to your tuna salad - Adds variety. 2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread (7 Grain, Russian Dark, Rye, etc. Switch it up weekly) Some lettuce and tomato - Maybe onion if you like. Usually I do 1 Cup of Low Sodium V8 and add another 1 Cup of water - *This fills a Pint glass ;).
Dinner
1/2 Chicken Breast 1/2 Cup Dry Whole Wheat Pasta * I vary my type of noodles just to change it up. Like macaroni, penne, spaghetti, etc. 3-4 Tablespoons crushed or minced tomato from a can - This is the straight up tomato, not marinara. For a side sometimes I'll add 1/3-1/2 Cup Fat Free Cottage Cheese
Snack Ideas
1 Power Bar Protein Plus 1 Beachbody Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar 1 Protein Shake *2 Cups Milk Or Soy or a Combination, 2 Scoops Whey Protein Isolate or Isolate/Concentrate Mix, 1/4 Egg White, if you have a blender you can add a couple table spoons natural Peanut Butter for added protein. If you add peanut butter I suggest cutting the milk to 1 Cup and adding water, otherwise this shake will be thiiiiiick. I wouldn't add peanut butter without a blender cause it won't mix well otherwise and Make Sure it's smooth and not chunky style!* 1/2 C No Fat Yogurt (Varies your flavors each time) with 1/4 Cup whole wheat natural cereal like Kashi Brand or some low fat granola. Add some Vanilla or Chocolate Soy milk on top. Slice up a banana on top. This is a full snack to get you through several hours.
