Nutrition (Mis)information

The other day I came across this article in Marie Claire as I was reading on the elliptical at the gym. It's entitled "Nutritionists on: How to Eat Healthy". Of course, my interest was immediately piqued. To my disappointment however, I found out that the article included 24 hour recalls for 5 different "celebrity nutritionists" only one of whom actually had a degree in nutrition or an RD behind their name!One chick eats nothing all day but then binges on an incredible amount of fruit and a box of macaroons after dark. What?! The others were a bit better mostly based on salads and smoothies but also some off-the-wall foods like raw sauerkraut, sea plants, and rice protein powder. Perhaps I just need to become better informed about alternative "natural" foods and nutrition. It is discouraging though to know that there is just so much inaccurate diet information out there. It's daunting! Good nutrition does not have to be complicated! Just eat real, as close to the farm/tree/body of water as possible, food.
As a little bit of a rebuttal to the article. Here's a recap of what I ate yesterday...
Breakfast:

Overnight oatmeal with blackberries, ground flax seed and almond butter. Yum! Plus, a cup of coffee to drink.
Lunch:

Plus 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies...
Dinner:

Whole wheat pasta tossed with fresh tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil with sauteed green beans alongside. To drink  - a can of diet Pepsi. For dessert, just one more chocolate chip cookie. :-)
So, there you have it!
