Ok, here it goes.
What do you consider the most important thing in a healthy diet?

I've been running for 2 years, 3xa week.

Before that I've always done cardio and weights. I work out with weights 2/3xa week.

My diet is mostly to fuel my running, so lots of carbs, I think this is my on going problem. I can't get rid of my extra weight. I want to get hard and lean.

I believe my diet is 80% good and 20% bad.
I limit the bad fats, I eat lots of fruits and veggies, I don't really like fatty foods and dairy (bother my stomach)
the occasional craving for chocolate weakens me.

So, I would really like some suggestions on how to fine tune my diet to get the most out of my workouts. If you need more info about me first re: workouts let me know.

Thanks so much.
