I find the best foods for me are on the outside aisles. Fresh fruit and veggies, milk, eggs, cheese.
( you can slice 1/2 apple on your oatmeal and have the other 1/2 with 1 T PB for a snack or 1/2 frozen banana and 1/2c 1% milk with a pkt of Stevia for a delicious shake)
Don't forget nuts and seeds - good fats!
I just came from grocery shopping, had a nice walk around the store to boot! Blessings to you!!!!0 -
Chicken Breast
Whole Chickens
Ground Turkey (93% lean or leaner)
Dried Beans or Canned Beans WITHOUT added sugar or salt
Fresh and Frozen Fruit
Fresh and or Frozen Veggies
Salad Mix (dark greens and or spinach)
Olive Oil
Old Fashion Oats
Steel Cut Oats
Peanut Butter (without added salt or sugars!)
Brown Rice, Quinoa, Barley etc
Greek Yogurt (Plain, Non Fat)
Skim Milk and or Soy or Almond Milk (look for low fat varieties)
Canned Tomatoes, Tomato Paste without added sugar or salts etc.
Whole Wheat Pasta
Laughing Cow Light cheese
Low Fat Feta
Raw Almonds or other good for you raw nuts
Low Sodium Chicken or Veggie Broth (double check the label! Just because it says low sodium, doesn't make it low sodium).
Light String Cheese
Water Packed Tuna
Salmon
Whole Grain Bread (Be very careful with this. Don't believe it is Whole Grain/Wheat until you read the ingredient label)
This is off the top of my head of what is in our pantry.0 -

I always start with chicken breasts, fish, and veggie burgers...then I think about the things I want to go with them. I get frozen steam bagged veggies, salads, fresh veggies to go on my salads or that I can steam. I'm not big on fruits but I will get frozen fruits for smoothies. Low cal/fat free/low fat/sugar free yogurts and puddings and jellos. I like to snack so I get low cal/no sodium/low sodium nut and fruit mixes (Walmart has some really great inexpensive healthy mixes that I LOVE!). I also get canned tuna and favorite crackers as a snack. Sensible Portions has some really great snack options too if you like 'chips' but want a healthier option. 100 cal popcorn bags. I grab a few Lean Cuisine type frozen meals to have on hand just in case. Low sodium light canned soups that are under 100 cal per serving. Sara Lee 45 cal. bread or 100 cal thin buns and fat free/low sodium lunch meat. Skim milk and cereals that are around 100 cals per serving like Multigrain Cheerios or Honey Bunches of Oats. I hope this helps you some. I know that I don't like grocery shopping because it's so much easier to grab all frozen microwavable foods when you have a family to feed. G'luck!0

greens (baby greens have lots of nutrients in them)
all typical veggies (tomato, cucumber, onion, brocolli, peppers, carrots, etc)
sweet potatoes for sure
fish, chicken, lean steak
non fat yogurt like chobani or siggis skyr yogurt
fruits such as berries, grapefruit, mangos, melon, grapes
pickles make a great snack
whole grain oatmeal such as irish steel cut oats
kashi 7 grain pilaf is also excellent
and if you like pita or wraps the only one that I will get is josephs flax small pitas. the ones that say low net carbs and have only 45 calories per pita. all other wraps and breads have too many calories and too much sugar. josephs is a great way to get your whole grains through flax seeds and is low in carbs and calories.
you'll want some good fats too so I suggest extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil (great on stir fries), avacados, and salmon.
I always keep a couple bars of extra dark chocolate around the kind with the higher cocoa contents.
red wine if you like it. it is great to use in cooking and doesn't have too many calories. just dont overindulge on it.
applecider vinegar also known to be good for losing weight.
and don't forget beans. chickpeas and black beans make a great add in for a salad and hummus goes great on those pitas with some veggies or alfalfa sprouts.
good luck grocery shopping0 -

I get the same thing almost everytime I go to the store. I also make sure i go to a grocery store with a BIG bulk section--as it makes portion control for the week easier. I'll just copy and paste my list (coffee, fruit and veggies bi-weekly--everything else i only get when it runs out) maybe it will help give you ideas! I cook for friends and buy with/cook with roommates a lot so these #s might be smaller for a single person household.

also allrecipes.com now has a menu planning section for "supporting members" although you can look at some of the example menus to get an idea.
Personally, I try to plan 5 dinners , then get all the fixin's for that
cereals and oats and eggs for the breakfasts
and I have been doing the lean cuisine thing for lunch
Good luck0 -

I totally agree!!! Hope you found the website helpful!0 -
If you are looking for a dessert / treat that won't kill your cal total, try Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches. They are 140 cals. I eat one when I really want a dessert. The choc mint and the choc choc ones are really good.0
