To eat or not to eat....what the heck should I be eating?

Anyone else totally frustrated with trying to figure out how much of everything they should eat? I got a book on sports nutrition before Christmas and swear I read the thing, but I am still confused! No one seems to agree on how many carbs an "athlete" should consume and do I really fit into the "athlete" category anyway?? Sheesh. My pace isn't even listed in most running books--apparently I am a "jogger".

Well, someone did share a handy website with me recently: www.thedailyplate.com I've tried Fitday before to track what I eat, but Daily Plate actually has a ton of store brand and restaurant foods in their data banks that you can search for. Makes it much easier for me, being a calorie counting idiot.

I'm hungry and the brownies on my counter are calling my name.....
