Don’t go looking in the “diet” section on your bookstore.
Here are some great examples:
Also, read anything by Dr. Berardi
“Precision Nutrition” by John Berardi is the best place to start. “Your Naked Nutrition Guide” by Mike Roussell is great, too.

In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan.
Sports Nutrition by Nancy Clark
150 Healthiest Foods on earth by Jonny Bowden
Dr. John Berardi is the man. Read everything you can from him for great overall nutrition knowledge. I have other suggestions, but Berardi seems like he would be the best fit (in general) for what you are looking for.
Many good suggestions so far, but I would also suggest you look into Tom Venuto’s books (see which one suits your needs the best), and Leigh Peele’s work (her advice is, in my opinion, especially well suited for women).
nutrient timing was recommended to me and now i don’t need to guess when and what i should be putting in my mouth. saves me a ton of time from asking dumb questions on here.
Thank you soooo much for all the help everyone. Now I have some good reading material for my winter break.
