If not, do this:

Thanks a lot.
Concerning nutrition… when I am conscientiously choosing what I eat (as opposed to just eating what is available) I tend to intake at least 115 grams of protein a day and 345 grams of carbs, and then I load up on dairy, fruits, and vegetables.
Since I am too lazy to carefully plan a diet, I just make sure that I get the carbohydrates and the protein that I should be eating that day and then add on other foods. Sometimes I will get a ton more carbs from just being at home all day and eating stuff like ramen and rice (I have a rice cooker).
However, eating in excess has never and probably won’t hamper me much if at all since I have a natural body fat percentage of 10%, and lower when I am actually exercising. When I am making an effort to eat healthy, my breakfast will usually consist of a cup of oatmeal with two eggs and a cup of frozen fruit. Also plenty of water…
However, that never happens unless I am trying to reach a goal. Usually I will just literally grab what I see first when I am hungry. This has lead to most of my meals consisting of a bag of bread, a bag of bagels, a box of cereal, a box of cookies or crackers, a tub of cottage cheese, a tub of yogurt, a tub of ice cream, a couple cans of tuna, a bag of candy, fruit, a jar of pickles, a case of soda, etc…
Basically, I am terrible at feeding myself unless I have a tangible goal, but when I do make an honest effort I have a general idea of what to do. Right now I have a few goals in mind, but since I haven’t decided my course of action I am being lazy as usual.
This thread was kind of a “Hi, I’m new here!”, and me just throwing my goals out there just in case someone had a magic solution (better odds than playing the lottery). I honestly just registered since I am trying not to look to my mom (who used to be a physical trainer) for advice, which is kind of humiliating.
Right now I am just opening up a window for suggestions while I figure out what I want to do which could take from a couple hours of meditation to a couple months of waiting for divine inspiration. I also don’t have much in the way of gym access since my grades suck (I may be a slacker, but I can at least be a buff slacker) but I do have some dumbbells, a curl bar, whey, and creatine.
