How Do I Look for Healthy Foods?

I'm a newb when it comes to diet and I was wondering how I can go about looking for healthy foods?

What should I look for on the nutrition facts? Ingredients? etc

thank you!

For starts, you don't want any Trans Fats - however, I don't think I've seen anything with much trans fats lately because of all the hype about how bad it is for ya.

Also look for lots of dietary fiber

Shop along the outside of the grocery store. Meaning fresh foods and meats, very little packaged food.

Look for foods with a low ingrediant list. Foods with an ingrediant list you can pronounce. As little processed as possible.

Yup I was just going to say this. I went to the store with my friends the other day, and they all got stuff out of the middle, where I hardly ever go.
