-Assortment of Frozen meals: I quit cooking, for the most part, because it's just me. I found I wasted a lot of food, so I've started buying these again. The sodium is ridiculous, naturally, but it's worth it because I'm better able to stay on track.
Also:
-Guacamole (from Costco)
-a particular sugar free sunflower and oat bread from the local bakery
-protein bars: I've really gotten into the bars lately, since at the end of the night, I'm bound to have random protein and fiber left. I have a collection of bars, and I find the one that most fits the numbers I need to hit.1 -
We always have rice and pasta in the pantry. In the refrigerator we always have Silk Yogurt(I'm allergic to dairy) Silk almond or soy milk, salad mixes(I'm the only one who eats these) and chicken breasts. The freezer has all kinds of frozen veg and some fruit. My son has oats, bananas, and applesauce almost daily. We keep Clif builders bars for if we have to make any trips or just aren't too hungry. I have all kinds of flours and several sweeteners in the pantry for baking. Also chocolate in many forms. We only buy hamburger if we are planing a meal with it and freeze the rest of the package in 1 pound packages. I only buy potatoes when I use them since for some reason they go bad in 2 days in my house.0
