Educate me about nutrition

So, I'm blessed with a super fast metabolism and have spent my entire life eating crap without a care but that's all starting to change and I need to get on top of this shit before it gets out of hand.
So I need to learn about everything, really. I know nothing. The kind of stuff I want to know is what carbs/protein/etc are and what they're good for and where we get them from. Is it better to eat set meals or smaller snacks but more often? When is best to eat? That kind of junk you see nutritionists on TV talking about when they're not studying stool samples.
A book or two would be preferable, thanks!

I think you should look into Food Rules by Michael Pollan.

Its short. Its five dollars. It tells you everything you need to understand about nutrition as it relates to the crap in the grocery store and what a "whole food" is.
Theres also this 70 minute lecture by him on the subject that would suffice if you don't need to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt:
