Porridge oats - the cheapest you can find
sweet potato
cucumber
red/green pepper

non-dairy milk0 -
Oatmeal, greek yogurt and bananas0

Would you consider oily fish such as mackerel?0
-
I would go with seasonal availabities :
- Winter squash
- Bettes
- Cottage Cheese
- Salmon or trout filet0 -
Cereal or porridge oats (oats so simple is fantastic as it even measures the milk for you) loads of fruit, salad, vegetables. Chicken, fish & Fat free yoghurts x Then low fat & low calorie treats such as ryvita mini's / weight watchers cake slices / velvet crunch potato thins - all can be worked into your daily goals0

If you are looking for ground turkey or turkey sausage, I usually find it in the frozen section near the chicken. Buying it fresh is usually more expensive than buying it frozen. We like to keep a couple pounds around for impromptu recipes.0

CELERY!! Yuk, I don't like it either, it's got hardly any calories and you actually lose weight by chewing it! lol. Good that you're about to try Eggplant. At first I was unsure of its taste, and I used to do a mediterranean vegs in the oven.. so I used the
Zuccini (2)
Red peppers (2)
Cherry tomatoes or big tomatoes (depending on how hungry you feel)
Onion (1)
Aubergine/egg plant (1 half)
Green peppers if you like
It admits most vegetables, then just put on the oven to medium to high power until it starts smelling nice.. yummy.
You could also add one of those veg stocks diluted in water to get extra flavour and sauce, it tastes nicer, I'd recommend to use only half otherwise it may get too salty, and if you feel like it, just add some herbs to it to change the taste every now and then.0 -
