Your training routine looks good. Don't listen to those who suggest you should only train 1 body part/week - leave that type of training to the genetically (or chemically) gifted.

In terms of what to eat: Lots of food

Basically, the less processed, the better as these will have more nutrients/more healthy stuff and less of the nasty stuff (eg: high fructose corn syrup, trans fats etc etc)...

So:
whole or rolled grains (oats, barley, rye, bulgar, buckwheat, oatbran)

some whole grain products (eg: essene or sprouted bread)

legumes (kidney beans, chick peas, lentils, chana dhal)

lean proteins (seafood, lean red meats, eggs, poultry, milk/dairy)

Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseeds, other nuts and seeds)
