If you want to know how to eat, just ask someone whose job or hobby it is to compete in the fitness category of your choosing. For example, if you want to know how to maximize muscle growth through eating, ask a competition level bodybuilder. Yes, they'll be on gear, but they'll still be able to tell you how you should eat and with the proper ratios to maximize muscle growth. They'll also be able to tell you how to eat cleanly because cutting weight is part of their competitive training cycle. Likewise, if you want to know how to eat healthy, ask a fitness model. They make their money by looking good for cameras and will want to maximize that through their diet. These folks aren't looking for fads, they've already learned, implemented, and lived what actually works from others who were also competitive in these fields.

This is what I was thinking while reading the poisonous replies in the other top comment. “Nutrition still does not know what we should and should not to eat”… well what is your goal? Too much doubt is being cast on an entire body of knowledge as if elite athletes do not exist and as if nutritionists have not developed tried and tested ways to optimize performance towards a specific sport.

great advice! so many people decide "I'm going to lose weight" but then dont' bother to educate themselves in the slightest. Im in the middle of my own weight loss journey. After two failed attempts in the past, I researched for a full week on youtube finding the best exercise and nutrition gurus and seeing what the commonalities between them were. after that I put together a diet and exercise plan based on my goals. 2 months in and I'm at the weight I was at when I was 14 years old. On top of that, I'm able to do 5 pullups in a row and squat 250 lbs (which I could definitely not do when I was 14). education is key to any endevour and knowing who to get yoru advice from is the first critical step.
