    I work about 2 minutes from a Costco, where I go at least twice a week to load up!

    Here is the stuff I always have my fridge and cupboards stocked with...

    Greek Yogurt (this is awesome with pomegranate seeds when they are in season!)
    Steel Cut Oats (so much more filling than regular oatmeal)
    Mini-Cucumbers (an easy snack to grab and go)
    Grape Tomatoes
    Eggs, eggs, and more eggs (I put them in my veggie steamer and they come out absolutely perfectly hard-boiled - I eat at least 4 or 5 whites a day, plus one whole egg!)
    Sprouted grain bread (I love Silver Hills Mack's Flax)
    Chia Seeds
    Unsweetened Almond Breeze
    Spinach (I use this in everything from salads to smoothies)
    Peppers (all colours - I LOVE peppers!)
    Celery (even my 3 year old loves this!)
    Low fat cheese
    Lemons
    Flax seed
    Bananas
    Green Tea

    I'm sure I could go on, but it's late and I can't remember anything else off the top of my head. :)

    Must Have:

    Eggs - I like to hardboil a bunch for breakfast/snacks at work throughout the week.

    Plain Greek Yogurt - I add my own berries to save sugar.

    Cottage Cheese - Great alone as a snack, with berries, or cooked into scrambled into eggs for a high protein breakfast.

    String Cheese

    Berries (fresh or frozen)

    Bananas

    Baby Spinach - for salads.

    Broccoli

    Green Beans

    Celery

    Yellow Onions

    Green Peppers

    Garlic

    Low Sodium Canned Tuna

    Chicken Breasts or Tenderloins

    Frozen Shrimp - thaws so quickly, which is great for dinners and I don't have to worry about it rotting in the fridge during the week if I forget to use it.

    Natural Peanut Butter - I usually have a cooking snack of a TBSP of peanut butter when I get home from work. It keeps me from grazing on other junk as I am preparing dinner. (I also need it on hand for my puppy's kong but that's unrelated).

    Pistachios or Almonds

    Chicken Stock - for making soups.

    Crushed Tomatoes - for soups/sauces.

    Ground Beef or Bison - for burgers or Chili

    Quinoa - for soups.

    Chia Seed - I always add it to my Greek yogurt for extra fiber and omega 3s.

    Pineapple fruit cups - Also good added to yogurt.

    Unsweetened coconut - Great with the pineapple in yogurt.

    Mrs. Dash - any variety, but I use it to season all sorts of stuff. Everything from chicken and shrimp to green beans and scrambled eggs.

    Olive oil

    Good Seasons Salad Dressing Packets

    Herbal Teas - Peppermint is probably my favorite

    Stevia

    True Lemon/True Lime/True Orange Packets - Crystallized juice, great for adding flavor to waters. No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or colors.

    Spaghetti Squash - in lieu of pasta.
