Thanks for sharing this, gave me some ideas, as a matter of fact I am going to get a pen and paper and copy some of it.
I just started out and realized the other day that my next grocery shop will be a lot different. I think it will take me 4 hours instead of 2 ( I shop for the whole month at once).
But I think I have to write a list so I don't go overboard with the low calorie snacks and such.

You can add whole wheat tortillas,salsa,hummus,granola,granola bars,protein bars, and whatever looks good (:

creme brulee rice cakes snacks are really good...oh and keebler honey wheatables are great...just try to get gluten free too

I love egg whites and the Morning Star sausage crumbles (its vegetarian...), lots of protein, low calorie. I cook it with pico and its so delicious! So those might be 2 things you'd wanna try... Um, I also like brown rice, and you can get whole wheat pasta and make your own sauce using crushed tomatoes and some spices. Green giant steamers are good and fast but I see you have a lot of fresh veggies on your list so even better... Hmmm. Just some ideas! Good luck girl and good for you!!!!

I second the hummus! Salsa, as well, is yummy to put on things instead of lots of fatty dressings

Here is a site from another post this evening that says if you eat 80% from the top two tiers you will be doing great! A lot of your list is on there, but you might find more. Hope this helps.

make sure that any of your canned fruits and veggies are canned in their own juices or in water and totally unsweetened. (they taste better that way anyways!)

Edamame is good, too... they are DELICIOUS... had them for the first time tonight and I'm in love... They're soybeans still in the pod, so all you do is stem them, then pop them open and eat the beans. They make an awesome side or snack. I found them with the frozen veggies in a steamer bag.

I eat brown rice to get more good carbs. I would add eggs to the list. I eat them boiled most of the time. I like Wasa Crisp bread and lowfat cream cheese as a snack. Natural peanut butter is also good on bread.

The only thing I would suggest is to watch out for the sodium content of packaged food. Ideally if you cut out most of the processed stuff (not that there is a lot ) you would be best off. Be especially careful of things like crystal light that contain fake sugars. Ask any personal trainer and they will tell you that although they are low calorie your body has difficulty processing them and ends up storing it like sugar.

Otherwise great job! I got a few ideas from your list too. Bravo for planning in advance, it really helps to avoid impulse buying and will be a great asset

WTG!

greek yogurt is strianed regular yogurt, it is twice as concentrated because the water (and some of the carbs) are drianed out, this makes a thicker creamer yogurt with 2x the protien

i thinkyou should add sardines to your list...why? becuase they are amazing...high in omega's,calium, and protien!!!and only about 150 a can if packed in water (about 200 in oil)- they are also very very low in mercury, unlike tuna which is very high..

How about some greens for a salad?Do you like any fish?Sounds like a good list!!
good luck!!

themommie

light butter popcorn, water packed canned tuna, black beans, hummus, salsa,salad (caesar lite kit), carmel corn mini rice cakes,

For oatmeal I buy the good old fashion stuff. You get a lot more then you do with the little packets. I eat one cup of that in the morning, a few packets of like sweet n low and mix in some berries. Taste great imo! You probably don't want to eat it plain though.

EDIT: Maybe I missed it.. But Non fat cottage cheese is good item to have also.
