I try to stay away from soda i drink a ton of water, more than 10 8oz glasses. And also stay away from reprocessed foods and from refined sugar. I eat 4 meals a day and will start including 2 shakes. 32 percent of protein 40 percent of carbohydrates and 28 percent of fats. Then i lift hard and have lots of rest.
