If you're living correctly, then you should almost never think about your diet except for passing thoughts at the end of the night like "Have I really had zero glasses of water today?"
The reason for this is that you are lucky if you consume anything at all during the day besides Altoids and coffee. Thinking about what types of things you should be eating is like looking at your bank balance before buying that box set of DVDs on Amazon. Chances are you'll end up thinking your way right out of anything to eat at all.
When you're hungry, it's best to go out and eat whatever sounds good and don't stop eating until one of your arms goes numb. Considering how little you eat, every time you're hungry and actually have the temerity to go out and fulfill that need, you should act like a caveman who just slew a giant boar but hasn't yet discovered refrigeration. When you reach that point in your guts where you know every bite from here on out is a bad mistake, push through that wall.
Since it's likely that on any given day you could realize that the only thing you've consumed that had any caloric value was the milk in your coffee and the coke in your cocktail, you can justify disgusting eating binges. 4 pounds of mac and cheese? No problem! You'll make up for that by starving yourself tomorrow. An entire carton of ice cream in one sitting? Psh! That doesn't mean much in the grand scheme when you think of how last weekend the only nutrients your body got were through smelling other people's food.
The other thing that's really good to do is, every now and then, take an entire fist-full of vitamins. Considering all the drinking you do, doesn't your body deserve 10,000% of its daily recommended allowance of magnesium?

I read recently that vitamin supplements are a waste of money.
Actually... I read the headline suggesting something to that effect. I'm sure the article was completely inconclusive.
I saw a Ted talk that vitamins supplements just made your pee yellow.
Um. Let me try that comment one more time. I saw a Ted talk about homeopathy, and in it the speaker said that vitamin supplements just make your pee darker.
