Remember, if your nutrition isn’t dialed in, it doesn’t matter how hard you train, you will have GREAT difficulty changing your body composition.  Your performance during the workouts will also be limited if you are trying to perform at a high level, yet you continue to fuel your body with low grade nutrients.

A nice little summary of proper nutrition can be found here.
