Lemons. Applecider vinegar. Water. Apples. Oranges. Strawberries. Leafy green foods. Quick tip. Only shop around the outer perimeters of the grocery store. Never down the aisles. Unless it's for seasonings.0

Eggs, fruit, veggies, frozen salmon, canned tuna. So easy to use and quick to prepare!0

Eggs, skim milk, chicken breast, cottage cheese, water, actual butter (none of that vegetable oil mix stuff), Greek yogurt, cheese blocks (I eat mozzarella and cheddar)0

Fresh or frozen leafy greens, yellow squash, broccoli, bell peppers, asparagus.
Also various mustards, hot sauce, pickles, olives, packaged sliced cheese, coconut milk, tofu, ricotta cheese, sliced almonds, chia seeds, eggs.0 -
for me staples have become
Cartons of Egg Whites, Laughing Cow Light Triangles, Cheddar Cheese (bought whole then grated)
Bags of Mixed Salad Leaves, carrots, peppers, mushrooms, avocado, tomato, other veg
0% Greek Yogurt, Berries
Mars and Snickers ice cream bars and Fab and Solero Ice Lollies
Walkers Pops - melted cheese and crispy bacon, Quavers, Popchips - Salt & Pepper
White Farmhouse Bread
Cottage Cheese with onion and chive

Oh and cooking staples of course: garlic, ginger, chillies and a wide range of herbs and spices as well as Olive Oil and Cooking oil and balsamic

Only shop around the outer perimeters of the grocery store. Never down the aisles. Unless it's for seasonings.
In general, the perimeter of the average grocery store does place produce, fresh meats, and dairy on their perimeter (partly because of the need for cold cases). But avoiding the middle aisles is cutting yourself off from some good foods.

low fat soy milk, broccoli, tomatoes, tofu (all kinds), bread and yeast spreads, Edamame, soy yogurt, bananas, apples, oatmeal, baked beans, OLIVES (my addiction) and pickles. Also a ton of tea.

Eggs and greek yogurt are big ones. And I always have salad fixings in the fridge. Also usually do weekly meal prep of chicken breast + mixed cooked veg + quinoa or sweet potato so that's usually lunch most days.0

Work staples (easy to make in microwave):
Egg Whites
Pre-cooked bacon
Oatmeal
Bread
Steam-in-bag veggies
PB2 (goes great in the oatmeal!)
Home staples:
more steam-in-bag veggies
Eggs
smoked salmon
Frozen fish fillets and chicken tenders
konjac noodles
slow-churned (low fat) ice cream or froyo
tiny potatoes
stuff for flavoring things (dried herbs, spices, etc... lemon juice and low sodium soy are my personal staples)
You can ALWAYS find a filling (both in being satisfying and in nutrients), low-cal meal so long as you always have these on hand0
