i been cutting down salt and oil for the past year or so, i have been using bit of soy sauce to substitute the salt
im also a huge rice guy, but im not an athlete so too much carb makes no sense for me right?

1) Just because you're not fat, doesn't mean you're healthy or fit. Also, you'll end up being like every other high carb diet skinny dude once you're in your 40's and above - you'll look like a pregnant man.
2) Salt is not bad for you unless you have a heart condition. Anyway substituting soy sauce is pointless because you're substituting sodium for another form of sodium and most likely MSG if not other glutamates (not that MSG is inherently bad either but there you go)
3) Neither is dietary fat (most cooking oils are however, so it's good to avoid those)
I agree with the above advice. Eat food that came from an animal or a plant, as direct as possible. A chunk of meat, and that's it. A bundle of vegetables, and that's it. Avoid processing as much as you can.
Other than that, it depends on what your goals are. Weight loss, weight gain, etc. From there, you adjust based on calories and protein needs.
