healthy diet

[beds]

im just starting to train as want to better my body and although ive trained on and off over the years ive never followed an eating plan rather eat whatever i wanted.

so far on work days im having

porridge for breakfast, whey shake

mid morning piece of fruit

after training tuna sandwich on wholemeal bread and another shake

dinner anything healthy, jacket potato beans, fish and rice, veg etc

is it best to stick to a diet like that or is it better to cut things out

Unless you are a dedicated athlete or bodybuilder a 'strict' diet may be overwhelming when just starting out.
One of the best ways to make healthy changes in lifestyle is to make small and consistent changes over time.
For this reason you may benefit by adding one 'healthy' item to your diet each week while replacing one 'unhealthy' one. By this I mean substitute sweets for fruit, substitute sugar for honey etc. etc.
Small steps to a lifetime of good health.

my diet was so unbalanced i had to change it.
my shifts vary from day to day so half the time you find snacking on choc and crisps plus colleagues bring rubbish in as well.
hoping if i can stick to a healthy diet at work then when im off it wont be to bad

well your not eating enough of anything if i'm honest.

piece of fruit...then how long before training? You need fuel for workouts before and after. I have a meal 2 hours pre, then 100g oats 45 mins pre, then a shake directly after with 50g simple carbs in.

Look up on here using the search function at some other threads where some good diet templates have been given.
