Most of the time, eat a balanced diet comprised mostly with foods found on the 'outside' of the grocery store aisles. Lots of fruits and vegetables. Lean proteins and fish. Few processed foods.
During exercise, when needed, pull out the 'sugared' drinks and snacks (gels, bars, etc.).
Usually agree with the great advise that JK gives but I would like to add one thing to "During exercise, when needed, pull out the 'sugared' drinks and snacks (gels, bars, etc. )." You do not need these when running under 90 minutes or cycling under 2hrs. With proper training you can stretch that to 2hrs running and 3hrs on the bike. Far too many think that they need to take in sugar during shorter workkouts.
