As far as what to eat, everyone is different so I never give out general advice. I'd ask your doctor or a nutritionist, they can put together a diet that fits your body to what your goals are in a safe way. I mean obviously you can eat "healthier" by the obvious choices of salads, vegetables, chicken, seafood etc.. over snack food and red meat. Things of that nature.
