I try to stack up on vegetables (both raw and cooked), fruit when its available and get rice whenever I can. I also get good portions of lean meat. |
Eat a variety of real food. Vegetables, fruits, meats, whole grains, nuts, eggs, etc. Go heaviest on the veggies. Nuts are a nice choice for getting incredibly healthy calories and healthy fats, very calorie-dense but nutritious.

I've cut out caffeine during the week...but sadly make up for it on the weekends (coffee etc.)

How come? I understand if you just plain don't like being addicted to caffeine. That said, the evidence is pretty convincing that black coffee is one of the healthier things you can drink. Plain (no milk) Green tea, too. The only reason I would cut these out is if I just hated the caffeine addiction.
