Grocery Shop-til-you-drop

I'm going grocery shopping! I still live at home, so usually my mum does the shopping, but since I've been really determined to lose this weight, she's become frustrated and "doesn't know what I'll eat anymore." I told her that I'd go grocery shopping then, and she handed me her debit card muahhahahaha.

Okay, but really. I have a list of some things I know I want to get - cottage cheese, tuna, fruits and lots of veggies, turkey deli meat, etc - but want to know what your staples are as well! Any suggestions as to what I should buy today? I need food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (for dinner, I suggestions for family meals are appreciated) as well as snacks.

Oh, and one more thing: Has anyone tried the new 90 calorie Fibre One brownies? Are they worth buying? I get awful chocolate cravings all the time (I'm a chocoholic) and if these are as good as they sound, I think I can cave every once in a while and indulge in one for only 90 calories!

My husband has the Fiber One brownies and when I asked him how they were said "meh". So I'm guessing they weren't that good. lol However the new 80 calorie cereal is REALLY good. I eat it often.

The fiber one 90 cal brownies are like dry cake with a bunch of air in it. Not very good...or filling at all.

try yogurt, fruits, peanut butter (reduced fat), oatmeal, some nuts...
i haven't tried those Friber One Brownies and all other fiber one products i have tried have not agreed with me, sorry!

I tried them once and did not like them at all. Brownies are my fav, but not these.

Have you tried the Fiber One 90 calorie chocolate bars, not the brownies? I use them for a chocolate fix.

If you want a "treat" try a diet cola cake. All you need is a cake mix and a can of diet coke. Mix and bake as directed. It won't give you extra fiber like the FiberOne brownies but it' cheap and easy.

I would get eggs, beans, oatmeal, yogurt, water, boneless chicken breast, lean steak, and turkey bacon.
as for the fiber one I just bought the brownies today and will have to try those out. I also got a box of the granola bars with peanuts and chocolate. the 80 calorie cereal was not good at all to me. left a honey cardboard after taste.

My pantry staples are quinoa, barley and lentils as they each make a wonderful and filling salad thats very quick and simple to prepare (tossed with some vinaigrette, asparagus, grilled chicken, dried cranberries, orange zest and/or walnuts) and I can make a salad for that nights dinner and then have leftovers to go with lunch the next couple of days.

I'm going to address your chocolate craving. check out www.hungry-girl.com. she has a recipe for chocolate muffins. i 'think' you get a chocolate cake mix, and combine it with one can of pure pumpkin. that's all. bake it like muffins. it's very lo cal and a nice serving size.

good luck!

For a chocolate fix I like chocolate rice cakes with PB or sugar free chocolate pudding. I've also been making smoothies with whey protein (to up my protein totals) and I use the chocolate flavor sometimes, add 1/2 a frozen banana and a TBS of PB - yum.

greek yogurt - I have heard there is a chocolate one that is really good, haven't found it
frozen fruit (I protion out half a serving of frozen rasberries, let them thaw and mix them with plain yogurt, that way you don't get the sugar but it is sweet)
apples
almond butter
almonds
kashi go lean crunch ( can be used with milk or yogurt)
coconut milk/ almond milk - the vanilla coconut milk is soooooo good!
fresh berries
a protein powder - you can take the coconut milk and blend it with berries and a scoop of protein powder and it is great
skinny cow ice cream
hummus to be eaten with pita chips or veggies
Kellogs fiber bars - I find they are way better then FiberOne, so good!

eggs and egg whites
a good whole wheat bread
low carb wraps

If you don't all ready have one, you should get a food scale

I am the biggest chocolate, and sweets junkie you could meet. If you can manage to void chocolate for one week, I promise you this works, dark chocolate, antioxidents, plus after avoiding the sweets it works great. Also a bag of hersheys minitures, only eat 1, kinda helps.
I've strated grocering shopping for food where I stay away from smothering things in sauce, like Pork Chops, a little salt and pepper, maybe some Garlic, and just grill or bake them, it's awesome. My big thing is to enjoy food in it's purest form possable. Except labor day weekend, wehn we go camping, Bacon wrapped tenderloin teaks, but a small one is plenty, and one piece of bacon. I also try and walk alot in the dells area.
