Mine is kind of boring but it makes it easy to stay within calories with (few) temptations. It also helps that I am feeding just me and not a family:
Dairy:
- oikos/store brand greek 0% yogurt ($1 or less per serving, about 80-100 calories depending on size)
- Frigo reduced fat string cheese (about $4 for 24, 50 cals each)
- Sargento thin sliced cheese (40 cals per slice, not bad if you eat cheese on sandwiches<-- mine lasts me FOREVER because I don't)
- Sometimes Laughing Cow cheese wedges (35 cals each. Creamy swiss stirred in with no salt added tomato sauce with basil and garlic powder is DELISH and about 60 cals for a serving. It tastes like tomato cream sauce if you like that)
Bread:
- don't eat much of this but I like Nature's Own 40 cal per slice Honey Wheat Bread
- Mission brand small corn tortillas (80 cals for 2) <-- really good with morningstar grilled crumbles (makes a yummy, high protein, low cal dinner)
- sometimes those 100 cal sandwich thins. Not often
Canned:
- green beans (store brand) at Big Lots you can get a can for 50 cents down in FL. Cheapest I've seen. The whole can is only 70 cals. I LOVE this.
- black beans or kidney beans<-- not expensive if you buy them dry and a great source of protein. They are higher in cals then I like, but like they say "beans, beans, they're good for your heart...."
- Libby's Pumpkin puree<-- on sale in my Winn Dixie for less than a dollar. I Love pumpkin anything. This with some cinnamon, splenda and nutmeg is about 120 cals for the whole can. Really filling and yummy! mmmmm
Fruit:
- depends on sales and season but normally:
- kiwi
- orange
-grapefruits
- green apples
- occasional mango
-straw berries
- blueberries
- peaches
-nectarines
** Florida has a different kind of fruit selection for lower prices than most other states
Veggies: (my biggest consumption)
- kale (is becoming in season in a few weeks<--- low cals and makes AWESOME Kale chips. Alternative to potato chips if you want to try it. They recommend using Olive Oil to coat them. I spray 0 cal olive oil on them and it works just as well!)
- sweet potatoes (our fruit stand has them for .49 per pound)
- spinach
- cucumber
- celery
- carrots
- tomatoes
Meat:
- whole turkeys when they are on sale
- chicken breasts
- lunch meat
- turkey sausage
** our ethnic/spanish markets down here have GREAT deals on produce and meat. Example: 5 lbs bag of white potatoes for .99 cents. Look at these places for regular foods cheaper than chain stores.
Splurges:
- Hershey's special dark chocolate bar: 180 cals and are often BOGO at 1.09
- York mint .68 and is 140 cals.
