I do weight lifting every other day but i do not eat right and it is affecting me in the weight room. My poor diet is holding me back from the performance I should be seeing if I were on a good healthy diet.

Most of the time the 40/40/20 plan on macronutrients is a good rule of thumb (in one day, 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% good fats). Try to get in 5-6 meals a day, with some protein every meal (I usually get a good breakfast, lunch and small dinner with “snacks” in between, like yogurt, peanuts, etc).
For weight lifters, it’s essential to get enough protein and carbs, as well as decent fats. About 1 gram of protein and carbs per pound of bodyweight a day is about right. This can be challenging and that’s where supplementing your diet comes in.
Of course, stay away from processed foods, bad carbs (simple carbs like sugar, bleached flour based breads, etc) and bad fats. Do some research on what other bodybuilders do as a base.
Eat lots of protein and carbohydrates, Your weight = amount of protein to be consumed daily to burn fat and gain muscle.The carbohydrates will give you energy to perform better in the weight room
eat 6 meals a day consisting of Lean protien and complex carbs.
Good protein to build muscles, whole grains to fuel them. Keep fat and sugar low, except complex sugars like fructose. Fruit and vegetables as much as you can enjoy.
