If you are serious about your training and diet (I will keep this simple, their is loads of science that may confuse you and get you bogged down but in a nutshell)...
Refined sugar is gone, a no no, sugar come can through fructose (sugars in fruit) but sugary cereal, soda, candy, sugar in coffee etc, cut it out completely
Water is your new best friend, a coffee here and there is ok but stay away from milky latte styles. You should be drinking a couple of litres of water a day (on top of the water you will drink during/after working out)
If your budget can warrant it, eat fresh organic vegetables and fruit, if the budget will struggle to stretch to organic, make sure at the minimum they are fresh not frozen
eat more frequently but smaller portions as opposed to 3 big meals a day.
Snack on fruit, handful of almonds, walnuts & pumpkin seeds.
Some people will argue to stay away from any meat, personally, I eat fish and chicken with leafy veg, so brassicas, cabbages, kale, and broccoli, occasionally red meat but I feel a less lethargic with fish.
Alcohol, some people cut it out completely, some limit to maybe a beer a week (we all need a reward here and there) but be advised, alcohol provides next to zero nutritional properties, empty calories.
As I say, what one diet, will promote another will argue against, over time you will learn to listen to your body, you will no what works for you. All diets have their place, just some don't work for everyone and different diets suit different people
