Torrilin's advice is great.
I hate counting nutrients, let alone calories, so I like simple rules. The most useful piece of advice I think I've heard (which Torrilin mentions) is to eat as many different colors of (unprocessed!) food as you can in a day.
I try to avoid processed foods in general and feel *so* much better when I do.
Personally I think fat gets a bad rap. Granted, things like a Big Mac aren't good for you, but fat does have its place. Whole milk, butter & real cheese are not only delicious but also filling.
Most of all, food is delicious, enjoy it in all its varieties!
