Determining what to eat will largely depend on your taste. Many in the
group suggest starting with a calorie level of 10 X your current weight (ex.
180 pounds x 10 = 1800 calories per day).

www.fitday.com is a good website for logging your daily intake. It will
also tell you the percentage of protein, carbs and fats. The percentage of
the nutrients will depend on the type of diet you decide to follow. I've
found a 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fats works best for me. A good book
for helping to attain this percentage is the "Body for Life" book. Here's
there website: http://www.bodyforlife.com/ It might have the information on
their suggested foods.

Work on improving one meal at a time. You don't have to be perfect from day
one. Don't worry if you don't get the ratio of nutrients you want everyday.
It all evens out over time if you just stick to healthy foods.

There isn't one answer that's right for everyone. There are low carb,
low fat, low calorie plans going around. There are ones based on
evolutionary theories (paleolithic and food-for-life disagree with
each other so just being evolutionary isn't enough) and on all sorts
of reasons. Generally, if a book gets popular it's it works, and if
a book stays popular it's because the authors spent years ironing
out the bugs.

So read several books on different types of plans and see which
you would like to try. Since I'm a low carber of course once your
well read you'll pick low carb, chuckle. Try one for at least 6
months and see how it goes. The idea is to never quit, but
switching from one type of plan isn't quiting it's doing a course
correction.

I think if I knew how to eat right where I'm not starving my
self I could stick to it

Low carb's biggest edge is that lots of people aren't hungry while
low carbing. Yet another reason why I'll do the very biased
thing and suggest it as the first thing to try.

like everyday healthy food not stuff I can't find at
the store

Natural stuff not in bag, cans, boxes or jars. Think fresh meat,
fresh veggies, nuts, dairy, fruit, eggs and so on. Food that
you cook in the kitchen. You'll find it in every store. That's
one principle you'll find in *any* type of good plan - junk food
that's processed loses to unprocessed food. The differences
are in which of the natural ones to pick not in whether to
drop junk in favor of unprocessed.

any good web sites anyone can recommend?

For knowledge lots. For brocolli, chicken, brazil nuts and such few.
