Training while not on a structured diet?

[Prophet]

I'm thinking about starting to train at the gym. This will include some swimming too.

My main problems are motivation and what I should and shouldnt eat. If I continue to eat a fairly healty diet, without bumping up protien intake etc will I see gains in the gym (muscle tone, strength and endurance)

Im a complete n00b at this and tbh don't have the time to research what I should be eating. I can add/subtract things to my diet but will struggle to follow a strict structured diet.

My main aims are to increase strength, tone up and get fit. I'm not looking to bulk up as such, just add a bit to the size of my arms and legs and generally have a more athletic appearence.

Help me guys

Eat lots of fruit and veg, steak, beef, poultry, eggs, fish and wholegrain foods. Drink filtered and bottled water and maybe get yourself a multi-vitamin

Avoid alcohol, sugar, salt, fast-food, processed food, microwave meals. Don't smoke.

A good start

I'm not far off what you've suggested. Need to eat more egg and wholegrain foods.

I've cut out Fast Food, Microwave Meals and I don't smoke.

I don't drink a lot but I do like sugar and salt which I'll cut down on.

If I understand this correctly sugar turns to fat? is there a way to work out how much originates from Sugar?

Thanks for the info
