This was a tough question for me. I always have a mental struggle with (1) Cost vs. (2) Health vs. (3) Weight Loss vs. (4) Convenience/Flavor vs. (5) "something my great-grandparents would have bought/grown/hunted & eaten". Those five factors often seem to be at odds. So here's the five I would recommend from my own diet for others to add to theirs if they're switching from the S.A.D. to something healthier:
avocado
cottage cheese
berries
tuna
oats
Edit to add: these are available at every grocery store in my area, if you're willing to pay for it (maybe only frozen berries and canned tuna at some stores, though, instead of fresh)0 -
Avocados
Carrots/Cauliflower
Yogurt
Mini Carrot Muffins (great little snack at 75 calories, helps me not feel tempted to cheat)
Mini Whole Wheat Pitas (to make easy low cal "pizzas")
And coffee, but that's not a food. :P
All from Fortino's.0 -
Fresh or frozen fruit and veggies makes up the majority of my food. Otherwise:
Lean Protein:
Egg Beaters
Low Fat Cottage Cheese
Fat Free Greek Yogurt
Frozen Chicken Breast (comes in a big bag at most grocery stores, the store brand is usually very economical)
Healthy Fat:
Olive Oil
Raw Nuts
Avocado
Carbs:
Brown Rice
Steel Cut Oats
Dried Beans0 -
WOULD YOU SHARE YOUR BLACK BEAN RECIPE?0

Homemade olive oil mayo
Meat
Veggies, especially broccoli
Eggs
fish0 -
1) water (not really a food)
2) chicken
3) eggs
4) spinach
5) broccoli
It was tough to narrow down to five foods honestly. Chicken is interchangable with any lean protein meat. Spinach and broccoli can be any dark green veggie. I use eggs because its cheap and a good protein source. Water is essensial and it's extremely rare that people drink enough water. Water is meant by it's purest form, not Crystal Light, Koolade, or iced tea.0 -
- Kale/collards
- Apples
- Quinoa
- Chia seeds/flax seeds
- Beans
The daily stuff the complements above: Water, pea/hemp/brown rice protein, green/oolong whole leaf teas
In moderation: Vegan chocolate, avocado0 -
Coffee.
If I don't start with that, no other decisions I make will be of value.0 -
1. Veggies (broccoli, green beans, brussels sprouts, baby spinach, and baby carrots are weekly buys)
2. Chicken breast
3. Yoplait 100 calorie greek yogurt
4. Quick oats
5. hummus0 -
This really depends on personal preference but mine are- strawberries, non fat Greek yogurt, chicken breast, almond milk,cottage cheese and nuts0
