Diet Advise

[blown89]

Looking for some general tips on what I should be eating to lower my body fat and establish a lean cut look. I am 6-2 and weigh about 195. I am happy with my weight, but would like to add a bit more muscle and become very cut. What general types of food should I be consuming and how often per day. Feel free to post and sample diets that you use. Thanks a lot

Also, what types of foods/drinks should I be avoiding?
