The really interesting part isn't that much what is bad for you, but what "too much" exactly is and why. And how to get people to change their behaviour.
As for what the real experts are, that depends on your goals and circumstances.
Regarding Nutrition I'd listen to Alan Aragon. Great guy, smart and knowledgeable.
Lyle Mcdonald has fantastic material as well, but he can be hard to listen to (because of his mental problems with depression, anger and the like).
Martin Berkhan has good stuff, as does Coach Hale, Emma-Leigh, James Krieger and Børge Fagerli.
But of course you don't have to know every detail to get the major benefits personally. Just do the most important things (the fundamentals) right and results will astonish you.
I think I posted some links at some point.

This blog doesn't have a huge number of posts but could turn out great - http://appliedsportsscience.com/
It's by P3, a company that designs exercise programs for professional athletes. They don't do anything with the general public, but it will be interesting to see what kinds of material they blog about.

Hey man you sound like you know your shit when it comes to fitness. I would really really appreciate it if you can help me. I'm a skinny guy and would like to get the lean look. I think it's called ottermode or something. There's just too much info out there so if you can tell me any methods/blogs/books that'll give me the right information to get the lean look I would be very grateful.
something like this is what i'm talking about: http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/28/fightclub.php

Thanks for the recommendation.

I will tell you that if you attempt this endeavour, you should heed Sisson's advice about keeping your fat intake high. If you attempt to keep both your fat intake low while only eating Veggie's and Fruit for carbs, your going to be absolutely miserable. I did this the first time I tried the Primal Blueprint, and by day three I was so miserable and depressed, i had to go off it. Tried it again with the fat intake bumped up....much more pleasant

Yes, that can matter. But it depends on what you mean with "low fat" intake. 0.8-1.2 g/kg is a good guideline for many. Sufficient Protein and some carbs with a kcal deficit and you'll be sure to reach your fat loss goals.

Never heard that one before. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=OttermodeIt depends on where you are know and whether or not you know how to lift. How about you open a new thread with information on age, weight, bodyfat (or better a picture of your body, because many underestimate their bodyfat), strength levels, injuries/posture issues, training experience and very briefly on what you plan to do now.
Just don't forget that for most it's hard to look good with that little amount of muscle mass (and imbalanced distribution) and such low bodyfat. Brad Pitt is a special case, as he has the genes (bone+ muscle structure) to look good despite this. Thanks to make-up, lightening and the fact that it's a picture (people look more massive in pics/on screen) he looks pretty good as well.
But of course you should try abs out if you like.

Hmm, interesting.
My current diet is: 60 grams of fat, 60 grams of carbs and 145 grams of protein.
Which should effectively break down to 540 calories from fat, 240 from carbs, and 580 from protein.
I guess it breaks down to 40 percent fat, 45 percent protein and around 15+ percent for carbs.
It's the best i could do without the food tasting like complete shit lol

Paleo's the way to go. I struggled with low fat diets all through 2008-2009. Then I went Paleo toward the end of 2009 and lost 30+ lbs in about 5 months.
