boring.freak asked:
Would any of you be able to provide a list of all the vitamins with some examples of different fruits and veggies that contain high sources of them?

Like for instance the first part may look like this:
Vitamin A: (fruit), (fruit), (veggie)
I am beginning cross country again and really want to eat healthy while doing it. I know where to get proteins (like in egg and meat) and fiber and stuff like that. I just need help with the vitamins.

Citrus fruits for Vitamin C: Oranges
Lemons
Limes
Tangerines
Peaches
Grapefruits
Grapes
Did I also mention apples? Well… those, too.
Bananas have always been very popular. They are
good for Potassium–and for monkeying around with
your blender to make a smoothie.
(Cherries and Kiwis would be exceptionally good
for a smoothies; but be sure to get rid of all of the
cherries’ pits first. They’re of no nutritional value.)
As for vegetables, wow. Sorry. Too many good ones
there, to list, here. But, I hope that helps.

The simplest way is to eat as varied and as colourful as possible. The colours in the vegatables indicate the vitamins in them.
It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.
Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog
