Your absolute must haves--- Grocery Shopping.

Here's mine for tonight:

Eggs
Silk Almond Milk -Vanilla
fruits/veggies
lentils
black beans
chickapeas
turkey bacon or turkey ham
waters
hummus

I'm not sure about snacks though??

I'm a fruit *kitten* :laugh: Apples, pears, bananas, oranges, I them all!!!! I could life off fruit if it were healthy! LOL!

I always make sure I have nutella on hand for when I need a chocolate fix, or if my calories are a little low. 35 calorie bread, tons of fruits and veggies (strawberries and asparagus have been on sale lately), and cereal that has lots of fiber in it. I love Kashi!

Brown rice
Dried Beans
Balsamic Vinegar
A weeks' worth of fresh produce
Frozen vegetables
Canned tomatoes
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Brown Rice Pasta
Smart Grounds (meat-free ground beef alternative)
Strawberries (great for sweet tooths)

If you MUST have bread definitely whole grain! MAKE SURE you read the labels..some of those whole grainers are lying! Haha. Otherwise what other people have said, eggs, skim milk/almond milk, almonds (or any kind of nuts for snacks) I keep grapes around because those helped my chip addiction greatly, also i buy the reduced fat cheese cubes because i love love love cheese and the portion (7 cubes) helps my cheese addiction! Lol. Also, frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts are GREAT too keep around

Usually for me it is:

Strawberries
Bananas
Blackberries (or any other fruit I might want)
Cucumbers
Baby carrots
Frozen veggies (all kinds)
Bagged salads (I'm lazy)
Hummus- roasted garlic flavor and roasted red pepper flavor, tried the spinach/artichoke kind but I'm not a huge fan
Peanut butter
Tuna
Almonds
Pistacchios
Lunchmeat (low sodium ham and turkey)
Whole wheat bread
Whole wheat tortillas
Frozen chicken breast
Yogurt

laughing cow cheese is a big one for me. When i make sandwiches i use that instead of mayo. It tastes great and is only 35 per wedge. Also if i am making burgers for the family, I will use lean meat and use a wedge of laughing cow instead of cheese on a wheat sandwich thin. Its so good and really cuts down on the calories! there are so many ways to use this

greek yogurt, blueberries, strawberries and low fat granola are a must for breakfast. I have that pretty much every single morning.

i snack on hummus every day. Tastes great with veggies.

This is my normal run through the store every week.

This is pretty much what I live on these days:

Protein - beans, bacon, smoked sausage, chicken, salmon
Veggies - onions, garlic, fresh spinach, tomatoes (I know, technically a fruit, but close enough).
Seasoning - chili powder, cayenne pepper, cinnamon
Other - croutons, parmesan, italian dressing, lemon juice, coffee, sugar.

If the wife and kids didn't demand a bit more variety, I think I could clear the house of everything else and be just fine
