HELP!!!! Headed to grocery store

Hirgy03

For our new years' resolution, my fiancee and I are determined to have only quick, easy, high protein and low calorie foods in the fridge. What are some good things in general to stock the fridge with for weight loss (we are lifting weights too, but weight loss is the major goal at this time). THANKS FOR ANY QUICK REPLIES!!!!

I do have a box of turkey filets in the fridge that I'm going to grill up tonight (nice working for a turkey farms division for Hillshire Brands that way). Its really easy for us to have a lot of turkey in our diet.....just sometimes we like to change it up a bit

Fage Greek yogurt. The 2% version has 170 calories and 23 grams of protein. That is almost as much protein as 4 large eggs (24g). The 0% Fage is 140 cals per cup but, the the 2% is so good it is worth the extra cals to me. I put fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of Nature's Path Peanut Butter Granola. That is my breakfast most mornings.

FLOUNDER.... almost pure protein and sooooooo delish. thaw it in the fridge though.. if you thaw it too quick it will be very mushy when you cook it.

95% lean beef.. Yeah yeah turkey is nice, but BEEF it's what's for dinner. Seriously lots of protein for your calories and you can make it into taco meat and wilt some baby spinach in there at the last minute for good measure and fill romaine lettuce leaves and add your greek yogurt, onion, tomato and cilantro and you'll swear you're eating junk food.

BTW I'm on a supervised High protein VLCD of only 800 calories a day... I eat the above two sources of protein a LOT and manage to stay under my calories and over my protein goals!

I'm sure you've already heard this before but just try and stay in the perimeter of the store. That's where all the fresh fruit, veggies, meat and dairy are.

eggs
greek yogurt...watch the sugars!
non fat milk
cottage cheese...try the lower sodium if you can find it
any veggies
lean meats and fish

I personally worry about ALL the additives, hormones, and pesticides that they feed the animals and then we eat them....so adding protein shakes without extra sweeteners has helped me a lot to get enough protein. Adding greens, fruit, nuts, etc also helps pack in some good nutrients!!

Beans! Eden canned beans have no BPA. Dry beans are pretty darn easy but time consuming.

low fat string cheese

hummus (if you've never had it, it's a dip)
really good with veggies, on a sandwhich,
or in a romaine leaf
instead of a tortilla
easy to make yourself too!

in a blender or food processor:
1 can of rinsed chick peas
several cloves roasted garlic
1 teaspoon of cumin
pepper

optional
a few tablespoons of olive oil
a few tablespoons of lemon juice
(gives a nice bright flavor)

that's the base recipe
adding in other flavors really adds variety
I love roasted red peppers
tons of recipes on the internet
rachael ray has tons of variations on
hummus with other types of beans and flavors.

If you cook dried beans in a pressure cooker it only takes 20 mins.

I soak beans overnight and then cook them in the pressure cooker. I never tried dried beans in my pressure cooker.
