    Lean meat
    cheese
    Quark
    whatever fruits I'm feeling like at the moment
    cucumber/bellpeppers


    Especially quark. Everyone should get quark. Quark is love. Quark is life. (well mostly protein.)

    I try to mainly focus on eating a clean, plant based diet. I buy lots of produce, lemons, apples, bananas, strawberries, dates, watermelon, blueberries, blackberries, mangos and whatever produce is on sale for that week. For dinner I eat a big, green salad with lots of veggies. Other things I buy, soy milk coffee creamer, coffee, natural granola, yogurt, eggs, almond milk, rice, coconut oil, kind and Laura bars.

    Hope that helps!

    eggs
    bread (for my boyfriend, i'm diabetic and low carb)
    cheese (love cheese, normally get american, cheddar, mozzarella, and feta lol)
    chicken
    lunch meat (normally turkey, but also somepepperoni and salami that will stay good for awhile)
    egg whites
    sugar free creamer
    sugar free jello
    lettuce and baby spinach
    zuchinis
    peppers
    pita chips
    salsa
    carrots
    onions
    i normally get at least two types of salad dressing. right now i'm loving garlic italian vinaigrette.
    Oatmeal
    I buy everything to bake from scratch and keep those ingredients around so I can substitute with splenda and have a low-carb post insulin snack. right now I'm out of unsweetened cocoa powder, so that's on the list.
    I'll normally also get some frozen pizzas and frozen burrittos for my boyfriend to eat when I work late.
    I love salsa, but the pita chips are not that low carb, so I normally buy some type of veggie to cut up and make into "chips"
