    There's really not a list, but if you can eat veggies and just keep track of what you can eat, that's a start. I have recipes on my blog and there are several places on here to find recipes that could help! Good luck to you!

    I am on a budget so I try to shop at farmers markets or look at the sale prices. Shop around.

    Here's my basic food list
    Fruits:
    Apples
    Bananas
    Grapefruit
    Pears
    Berries (Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, or Blackberries)
    Tangerines/Oranges
    Grapes (freeze them as a snack, I love frozen grapes)
    Cantaloupe

    Vegetables (any kind you want, basically):
    Spinach, Romaine/Green Leaf Lettuce, Spring Mix (stay away from Iceberg if possible)
    Carrots and Celery (for snacks or to dip with hummus)
    Peppers (green, yellow, orange, red)
    Radishes
    Onions (green, white, and red)
    Asparagus
    Green Beans/Snow Peas
    Tomatoes

    Herbs/spices:
    Basil
    Rosemary
    Mrs. Dash
    Curry Powder
    Cinnamon
    Garlic cloves

    Whole Grains:
    100% Whole wheat wraps or tortillas
    Couscous
    Quinoa
    Whole Grain/whole wheat pasta
    Meats:
    Lean ground turkey
    Lean chicken
    Frozen turkey burgers/garden burgers (Morningstar brand is good)

    Dairy:
    2% Milk cheese
    Almond milk, Soy Milk, or Skim milk (whichever you prefer)
    Light sour cream
    Greek yogurt (I like Yoplait 2x protein)
    Light butter spread with canola oil (if you want butter, get this kind in Smart Balance)

    Extras:
    Hummus (can be pricy but worth it)
    Sugar Free Jelly/Preserves
    Natural Peanut butter (ingredients should be peanut and salt. Stay away from peanut butter that has a bunch of oils and sugar in it.)
    Salsa (low sodium or fresh salsa)
    Canned Tomatoes (salt-free)
    Fat free cool whip
    Fat free popcorn

    Get into the habit of reading labels. Stay away from frozen processed foods because they are loaded with sodium. If you want frozen veggies, make sure they don't have a lot of sodium or added sugar in them. Hope this helps! Prep as much as possible and shop around the sales.
