Hi guys just wondering if anyone could swap some ideas around here, I was shopping again today and as i'm a student my budget isnt very high at the moment but i usually find myself going for the same type of veg and wondering should i mix this up, my usual foods are..

chicken
fish
eggs
broccoli
carrots
greek yoghurt
beans
almonds
and any mixture of fruit

this is my healthy list now, ofc i do have chocolate and stuff in moderation and its working for me i'm just wondering is there any other foods i should be adding or could add to benefit my diet....since coming on here i've learned it is about a lifestyle change so i'm always open to new food suggestions..:)

anyone?

Maybe add oatmeal? It offers a good nutritional bang for your buck and you can change it up by adding a little fruit or cinnamon or what have you.

If money is an issue, you might want to look at buying frozen vegetables. They're a really good deal when you get them on sale.

Any vegetables (Lots of)
Most fruits
Grain bread
Brown rice
Oats
Quinoa
Tinned salmon, tuna etc
Protein shakes
Peanut Butter (No added sugar / salt) eat in moderation
Lentils
Turkey
All the foods you decribed are obviously healthy as well, As with the chocolate, the darker the better, Good luck

I make turkey burgers all the time.
I also like to roast my veggies in the oven
baked oatmeal is super yummy
greek yogurt with some fruit mixed in
sweet potatoes sliced into chips and then cooked in the oven with some coconut oil

feel free to add me as a friend, I'm constantly searching for new clean eating recipes

thank you so much everyone for the suggestions! ...sweet potatoes sound like a good idea when cooking for friends, also going to try get into tinned tuna, will take a look at the others too and try incorporate them into my diet!

Try to add more veggies, especially raw. Bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, green onions, sugar snap peas (the kind that you eat pod and all), as well as experimenting with different mixed greens in salads, such as spinach, beet greens, arugula, baby romaine, etc. I will often cut up peppers, celery, and baby carrots for snacking on. Prep time doesn't take long.
