What's On Your Grocery List?

challenge_accepted

Hello!

I have been working out and hitting the gym on an almost daily basis. That isn't where I struggle.

My biggest issue is with what I eat. I was wondering if you guys wanted to share with me the must haves on your grocery lists. I tend to get the same boring things and get really sick of them very quickly, which causes me to go out to eat instead of cooking dinner.

What healthy items do you buy and what is your "go to" meal?

let's see...

corn flakes, oatmeal, almond milk (unsweetened), brussel sprouts, broccoli, a few bags of frozen veggies and stir fry mixes, plain greek yogurt, dry black bean, no salt added cans of green beans/mushrooms/diced tomatoes, frozen spinach, a few tomatoes, green pepper, onion, dry lentils, eggs and egg whites, hot sauce, baby carrots...

I always have:
Eggs
Lean breakfast meat of some type
Greek yogurt
Cottage cheese
Boneless skinless chicken ( breast, thighs or tenderloin)
Salad greens
Almond milk
At least a couple of types of fresh fruit
Frozen berries
Veggies for dinner (whatever is cheap )

My go to meal is grilled meat plus two veggies and a half portion of carbs ( brown rice, potatoes, pasta etc) for dinner. Simple, easy to prepare, and easy to have on hand. My lunches are usually leftover grilled meat, salad greens, cheese, and fruit. Snacks are a protein shake and usually some type of dessert treat.

I eat a lot of the same things, just prepared different ways. I don't eat a lot of processed foods and try to eat more veggies than grains. My diary is open if you need some ideas.

I did the same, having regulars on the grocery list. But that made my fridge overload with leftovers and so on.
Now i meticulously plan my whole week including all veggies and fruit I need. I only buy exactly what I need.
Made me save a lot of money and there's no place for extra cravings, cause there is no extra food...

I do chicken breasts, fresh and frozen vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, greens, green beans, carrots, okra, yellow and zucchini squash, etc.) Other lean meats like fish--even salmon and tuna are good (healthy fats.) Low fat cottage cheese, whole grain thin sliced breads--Earthgrains makes a bread that is very high in fiber that is only 35 calories per slice. Fresh fruits of all kinds. Stay away from all processed and already prepared meals.
