what are the things you HAVE to have in the kitchen to make sure you stay on track. I realised in the supermarket today that I have to have a few things always stocked up.
They are:
Smoked salmon
Avocados
Coconut oil
Beef biltong
Nuts
Eggs
As long as I have those I have a tasty meal I can knock up quickly and feel good!
What about you?

What is beef biltong?
I always have eggs, bacon, heavy whipping cream, ground beef, beef steaks around, plus usually some sort of pre-cooked meat for quickies. Right now I have a whole smoke beef brisket portioned into 4.5 (snack) and 6 (more meal appropriate) portions, plus a kielbasa ring.0 -

Beef biltong is a kind of jerky. It's the lowest carb one I can find in the UK. It's pretty good!0
-
It's available from Trader Joe's if anyone in the US wants to try it. That's the only place I've personally found it.0

I see lots of folks use a fair amount of coconut oil. What's up with that? Is it just for sautéing, or is there something else going on here?0

Lots of people use it for Paleo baking (I don't Paleo bake; I occasionally give myself a few carbs for high quality chocolate instead) or putting in coffee for BPC (a fat hit in your coffee). You can also use it for fat bombs to up your fat if you're so inclined. It's also nice to sauté with but my main use is BPC although I don't do that often0

- Ground beef (75/25)
- Steak (usually chuck, but this week it's ribeyes)
- Coffee
That's pretty much it. Throw in a few pounds of bacon and maybe a couple dozen eggs, and you've got my food covered most months. I wish I was joking. But, those two things are basically what I live on most days.
I did have some cheese today. Shh, don't tell the people doing the no dairy challenge, because I suck at avoiding it even when I know it causes problems. I only had it because my wife bought it and didn't realized it was smoked. She hates smoked foods.
I will have chicken, lamb, ribs, and other meats. But, they make only a rare showing.0 -

Go for the fattier stuff, you won't regret it. So much juicier and filling. Plus, it's just better tasting and better for you. The only downside? My grill has a tendency to catch fire until the drippings burn off.0 -

I like the way my eggs taste in coconut oil more than butter, I also put some in my tea, a mini-bulletproof tea I guess.

All cuts of beef and pork, chicken, turkey, salmon, our local walleyed pike ( pickeral), seafood, elk and moose when I can get it, bacon...my freezer is always packed with meat !
Eggs by the dozens and mayo always in the fridge, cheese, heavy whipping cream, tons of butter both salted and unsalted, coconut oil, bacon fat for cooking.
We now eat less and less vegetables and fruit, but we always have frozen berries in the freezer, and a few leafy greens like spinach in the fridge, cauliflower and broccoli, and brussels sprouts.
We stay away from processed deli meat unless we can get it homemade without chemicals. I have homemade sausages in about 6 different flavours, bologna and turkey deli meat made by my farmers in the freezer.0 -
Avocado, tomato, onion, peppers, spinach, eggs, tuna, coffee, hwc, torani, MIO, butter, coconut oil, sharp cheddar, babybels, greek yogurt. Beyond that are things that just rotate out as I feel like it or it's on sale, but those are the every week groceries.0

Bacon, avocado and romaine. I eat lettuce wraps all the time that are just these three things. So good. I go to the meat counter and buy several lbs of bacon at a time.
And Frank's Buffalo sauce. It's like angel's breast milk0
