Does what I eat matter?

Yeah what you eat matters for your overall health.

Look up the keto diet. Cut down on carbs, especially grains and any sweets other than fruits.

IIFYM gets made fun of a lot but it's your best bet unless you can do a strict meal plan / meal prep.

Some guy suggested Keto below but before we get to that - what's your current BF% and your goal?

Eating well is one of the most important things you can do to improve your life. A good diet will improve your mood and help you think more clearly, plus keep you in good health.

Healthy eating means eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, and trying to get your carbs and fat from real food -- grains, potatoes, vegetable oils, and cheese or butter if you like them -- rather than from refined sugars and mysterious factory-processed substances. It's best to avoid eating massive amounts of meat. You can go vegetarian if you like, but small amounts of meat are delicious and very good for you. Supplement it with other protein sources like peanuts, tree nuts, fish, cheese, or protein supplements.

There's nothing inherently wrong with carbs if you're not diabetic. When weight loss diets tell you to cut carbs, it's not because they're bad, it's because they're expendable. If you need to reduce calories, carbs are the safest and easiest place to cut because they're high in calories and because you need the vitamins from your meats and veggies.

However, depending on how big you are, how much you work out, and what kind of body you're building, what kind of body you're going for, you may end up needing to eat a huge number of calories. If you ever have trouble getting up to your calorie goal, there's nothing wrong with adding more carbs.

As long as you get the right amount of proteins, carbs and fats, it hardly matters what you eat. Some foods don't give much satiety and can make it hard to stick to your diet and that is something to consider, but in general just hit your macros and you're fine.

You might think it doesn't now but it'll catch up to you. Especially if you start drinking and partying with sloots. What you eat shows up in your skin, face, and everywhere else
