There is a massive amount of conflicting research/information on nutrition out there. Eggs are great for us, eggs are clogging our arteries, eating carbs is good and gives us energy, carbs make us lethargic and fat. As someone who, after years of treating their body like crap, wants to make an effort and eat things that are good for me, it seems impossible because at this point I feel like whatever arbitrary statement about food you take (like, eating 1/2 green apple increases your metabolism but only on Tuesdays and Fridays), you will find some type of research “confirming” it. Why is it so hard to have concrete research/evidence of what is good for our bodies and what isn’t, at least generally? Isn’t it science? How are we supposed to know what to eat??

Trial and error. New research means new answers. Look at the dates of the stuff you’re reading. STAY OFF YOUTUBE.
It’s about what works for your body on your budget. My Net Diary is an app where you can track your food. It’s free and it’s basic. Just try to make better choices when you can. Stay within your calories with the food you choose. Be honest with your portion size. It’s not all about loosing weight. It’s about running your body with the best fuel you can.
FYI: a baked potato with butter has ever nutrient you need. That doesn’t mean you should only eat potatoes and butter.
