Need some help grocery shopping :)

kayleesays

So, I get paid soon, and for the first time in many months I will be in completely control of what I buy and eat (I've been eating my family's food since I moved back home, before that it was dorm food and... yuck).
Making my way to the grocery and health food stores, I need some recommendations for healthy and health food because to be honest, I'm not all that acclimated with it!

Things to know:
Peppers, onions and mushrooms are revolting to me
I don't eat red meat
Not a huge fan of cookies and sweets
I love cheese

Any way anyone can help with healthy, low-cal snacks and quick meals to look out for? Personal favorites? Miracle foods?

My new favorite is avacado...I use it in salad and also make guacamole and eat it in low calorie wraps! I also buy a couple packages of rice cakes and eat them as snacks with either peanut butter or low cal "butter". I get lots of oatmeal and buy fish thats on sale....usually can get a pound of fish for around six bucks:-)
