I have a laundry list of staple foods...always have regardless.

A typical grocery shop will include:

fruit
veg
low cal maple syrup
honey
nutella
diet pop
brown rice
tinned chicken
tinned tuna
soups of various sorts
crackers - different kinds
low cal yogurt
whipped cream spray
cottage cheese
light cheeses
frozen dinners of various sorts including, of course, pizza
packaged dinners of various sorts - esp Indian and Mexican
some good bread
maybe some chicken mince or eggs
occasionally a roast chicken
tea
coffee

There's probably more but that's all I can think of at the moment.

I don't buy anything especially for weight loss because that's not how it works, I pretty much eat the same as I always did just less of it. My must buys for a normal week would be, anything else depends on what I've planned in for the week and what I have prepped in the freezer.

• Pack of large chicken breast from the local butchers
• Berries or Bananas for my weetabix topping
• Broccoli
• Eggs
• Pancetta
• Mini Dairy Milk Bars
• Protein Milk
• Orange Juice

I like eggs but have difficulty eating egg whites.....I do not know, just something about the white part

In scramble or omelettes I use 1-2 whole eggs with a few extra whites so I get the protein up without so much fat. I can't do all whites, I think the texture is yuck.

Eggs, chicken, berries, bell peppers, onions. Those are on my list every week.

We fill the cart at least half way in the produce section and try to eat all the vegetables before they spoil so we don't throw any away. Just today we bought: spinach, lemons, limes, cherries, oranges, carrots, celery, lettuce, red and green bell peppers, radishes, parsley, summer squash, onion, garlic, mushrooms (white and portobello). This is a fairly typical weekly haul.

The fridge already had red cabbage, green cabbage, ginger root, beets, potatoes ... The freezer has corn, green beans, lima beans, edamame, mixed veg, cherries, blueberries, apricots, pineapple, rhubarb and cranberries in it.

The Harvard Healthy Eating Plate says half your plate should be full of vegetables, other sources recommend eating 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. We strive toward that.
