I try to stay away from processed foods, fresh foods are your best bet, sweet ptotatoes, fresh veggies, fruits, fish, and meats. The packaged things that I do eat are my 100 calorie snacks, dried fruits, and for lunch at work a alot of time I have a frozen weight watchers meal ( just cauz it's easy). But other than that fresh fresh fresh.

I plan out a rough outline for meals during the week (lunches and dinners) then make a list so I know what veg and meats I may need. This helps me to not waste fresh foods. Also, I stock up on meats when on sale then freeze them in serving sizes for later use. Most of my list is perishables- vegetables, fruits, milk, yogurt, eggs, etc. I do always snack on almonds and I always keep my pantry stocked with beans, canned tomatoes, brown rice, and canned salmon.

I went shopping at the weekend to get:
Quinoa
Bulgar wheat
Soya mince
Lentils
Pearl barley
Cous Cous
Quorn
Peppers
Lettuce
Walnuts

Pecans
Cabbage and tonnes of other veggies!
I did buy some fruit but i want to limit that as sugar is the devil!

I always make sure to have essential salad stuff- lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions. Chicken breasts are always in my freezer, its easy to throw together a quick marinade in the morning ready to go when i get home. For snacks i get the light laughing cow cheese and wheat unsalted crackers, and i love those del monte fruit naturals when i want something sweet and juicy. I try and stock up on those when they're 10 for $10. The snacks at night are what get me so i try to be good with those.

I follow a strict meal plan which really drives my list, but the one thing I pretty much always have on hand is Stonyfield Oikos Greek Yogurt. It's like a dessert to me. I've also been getting sugar snap peas recently as a snack.

I usually get:

Fresh fruit (depending what I feel like, I choose between):
Apples
Bananas
Watermelon
Pineapple
Cantaloupe

Fresh veggies, mainly:
Lettuce
Zucchini
Pico de Gallo

Reduced fat crackers
Chunk Light Tuna in water
Light Mayo
Mustard
35 calorie whole wheat bread
Fat free turkey breast
Plain yogurt (Dannon fat free)
Low fat cheese (usually 4 cheese mexican by Sargento)
Thin corn tortillas
Garbanzo beans
Black beans
Chicken breast
Shrimp
Smart Ones/Lean Cuisine
Raw almonds
Eggs or egg beaters
100 calorie packs
Slim fast protein bars
Sargento Light cheese sticks
Yoplait light
Salsa


Some of my favorite snacks are zucchini slices and salsa, 5 reduced fat club crackers and tuna, and a garbanzo salad (tuna, garbanzo beans and pico de gallo).

I really like to make little tacos with the corn tortillas, and then poach and shred the chicken and mix it with a little bit of the plain yogurt (can use Greek too, but i prefer regular Dannon fat free) and the low fat Sargento Mexican cheese. They're pretty easy to throw together once you have the chicken shredded. You can just throw them in the microwave for 30 seconds and they're ready.


My diary is open, so feel free to check it out. Hope this helped!

I always meal plan for the entire week first, then I make my list. I have to do this, otherwise I'm stopping every night after work and that usually leads to poor choices and a snack bag of chips! :huh:

What is on my list every week:

skim milk
cheerios (plain and honey nut)
wheat bread
wheat tortillas
laughing cow
string cheese
yogurt
oranges
apples
grapes
applesauce
lettuce
tomatoes
potatoes
eggs
tuna
chicken

More is on the list according to the meal plan, but those items are what I get pretty much every week.

Joseph's lavish bread 1/2 piece is 60 calories & 7 carbs. (one piece is HUGE!)
Julian bread 1 net carb per slice and 50 calories
egg whites
spinach
broccoli
green beans
sugar free jello
redi whip cream (aerosol can)
part skim cheese sticks
laughing cow garlic & herb cheese wedges (found in cardboard wheel)
lettuce
Walden farms salad dressings...0 fat 0 calories 0 carbs. I *really* love the honey Dijon and Chipolte ranch (it has a kick to it) not too fond of the sesame ginger and wish I could find Italian.
turkey pepperoni
Carb Smart ice cream (bryers)
Philly Dream Stix
Chicken
Ground turkey breast

I'm pretty budget-conscious so I buy whatever fresh or frozen meats, seafood, fruits, and veggies are on sale. My menu is then created by what I can score a deal on, which keeps it varied and gives me a chance to experiment with different ideas. Kroger has so many manager's specials in the produce section that my salads can be made pretty cheaply. Otherwise, I always keep peanut butter, protein bars, and greek yogurt on hand (chobani is my favorite). I just moved and there are no Krogers or Publixes, which were always my favorite store. I've yet to find an adequate replacement :-(

RandomMiranda

I'm the kind of person who can happily eat the same 4 or 5 things everyday. My staple items are:
liquid egg whites
apples
strawberries (when in season)
Chobani fat free vanilla greek yogurt
Mini carrots
Hummus
Brown rice
Tuna
Sweet potatos
Frozen green veggies
Almonds (for after the workout)
Coffee
Green tea
String cheese

That's about it unless I see something on sale or have a coupon for a healthy item I wouldn't buy otherwise.

Kristinemomof3

I go by the sales and today I got 3 kiwi for .69/3, got 6
colored peppers $1.69/3
Romaine Lettuce-$1.89/3 pack
big bag of navel oranges $1.49

I will also get free tuna (sale & coupons at meijer) and strawberries today.
I got milk yesterday from CVS using ECB's, but will go to Sam's probably Saturday for milk & walnuts.

ZugTheMegasaurus

Here's a list of the staples I keep on hand, probably makes up about 95% of my diet in varying combinations:

Boneless skinless chicken breast
Eggs
Old El Paso refried beans
La Banderita Fat Free Tortillas
Blue Diamond Bold almonds
Skippy or Planters Natural peanut butter
Light sour cream
Salsa
Lettuce
Onion
Peppers
Black olives
Bananas
Broccoli
Fruit for snacking (depends on my mood: last week was grapes, today was clementines)
Nonstick cooking spray
Variety of spices

It might not look like a lot, but just mixing and matching ingredients results in a wide variety of flavor profiles; I never get bored or feel like I'm depriving myself in any way. And my bills have been drastically reduced since I stopped filling my cupboards with pre-made food products.
