Avoid processed junk. Look past the nutrition facts and read the ingredients. The more ingredients, the lower the likelihood it is going in my mouth. A strawberry has ONE ingredient. So does an egg, or a chicken breast, or broccoli. Take a careful look at the pre-sliced deli meat that may be masquerading as “chicken”. Why does it have more than one ingredient? The “manufacturers” probably added sugar (things ending in “ose" on the nutrition label) and sodium to that food. They do it for two reasons: (1) it lasts longer; and (2) because you’ll eat more when you are addicted to it.
Take a look at the ingredients in the foods you are eating. If you have trouble pronouncing them…keep moving.
If you can get your foods from a local supplier that is preferable. Foods that are organic do make a huge difference. They are lower in toxic pesticides and generally higher in micronutrients. See if you have a local “CSA” (Community Supported Agriculture) program in your area. A huge bag of organic seasonal veggies and fresh eggs that are raised in a real “cage free” environment and not fed corn and antibiotics are typically available at most farmers markets. These types of eggs are much higher in Omega-3 fatty acids and generally much more nutritious. Check out http://www.localharvest.org/.
