Need help planning meals!

[Head Beagle]

Alright, this is sort of cooking, sort of dietary/nutrition, sort of a
collection of other things, so I am putting it here and a couple other
places to get a nice, wide ranging response.

Allow me to explain my situation. I am a fifth year senior who is going
to be living not in a dorm/not on a meal plan for the first time. As it
turns out, I have no idea how to keep myself properly nourished. I
REALLY REALLY want to avoid the ramen, pizza, and hot dogs menu route
of many college students. So, to that end, I am collecting advice from
cooks and other people who know a lot about food.

Here is a bit about me so you can know what you are working with.

6 foot 4, 170 lbs.
I play competitive club ultimate frisbee, so I engage in strenuous
exercise 10-15 hours a week. I use a ton of energy, so it takes a lot
of food to keep me going.

2 questions:

#1
what does a guy like me eat to keep my energy up and try to establish
healthy eating habits for life?
#2
How do I cook that?

Submit whatever you like. 1 meal, a weeklong menu/meal plan, 1 recipe,
whatever you please.

Thanks!!!

Hey Beagle, well I just wrote a long reply and somehow it erased so, I
will try again when I have a few minutes. But the basic suggestion was
eat a varied diet with lots of fruit, eggies whole grains and high
quality proteins. Go to www.usda.gov for the new food guide. Try an
online diet tracker to find out just how many calories you need.
