New Food Ideas (going grocery shopping)

My husband and I recently started using quinoa as a rice substitute. We love it! Extra protein and fiber and it tastes great!

cocoa roasted amonds! in the 100 cal packs!

kashi go lean cereal to mix with vanilla light yogurt

watermelon!!

I just found Vitamuffins (100 calories per muffin and taste awesome) good for a snack or breakfast. There are these sandwhich thins that are only 100 calories per roll and make an awesome toast for either peanut butter and jelly sandwich or used as a pizza crust topped with marinaria, cheese, sliced turkey, and bellpeppers. Another must have for me is asparagus and cherries. They are both low fat and low in calories. Feel free to look at my food dairy. Good luck!!!!

I've been buying quinoa and cous cous for my family instead of a pasta or rice carb. THey are both higher in protien and fiber. Also Greek yogurt, and hormels natural line of luch meats. Switched to 12 grain bread instead of white, its got so much protein and fiber.

Oscar Meyer Carving Board Turkey 7.5oz. 225 calories, sodium is just a little high. Walmart sells for $3.48

I see a lot of people suggesting things like processed boxed and prepackaged foods, chemically-induced lunchmeats instead of healthy meats and such. If you want to truly be good to your body and make positive life changes, I would seriously avoid these things at all costs. They are bad for you, dangerous, and just plain unhealthy! Stick to the suggestions about whole grains, fruits, and veggies (and good, hormone-free meat if you eat meat) and you'll be golden :-)

discovered emerald almonds 100 cal pack, just the right amount in there. $3.79 at grocery store for 7 pks, seems a little high . but I have to buy it that way or i'd eat the whole can, so this way i get a pk a day.

green bell peppers, pineapples, blueberries, oranges, apples, lettuce, and liquid egg whites.

Laughing Cow

A new thing I've been keeping around for a snack or a meal is corn tortillas, fat free refried beans and 2% milk chedder cheese. I make bean and cheese quesadillas out of it. Yum!

I do agree that natural food, fresh fruit and veggies,and horomone-free meat are the best. But for a lot of us (me, at the very least) buying these things all the time for my family of 3 is far too costly and unrealistic.

i agree, and this morning on Good Morning America i think it was, they were saying how costly it is to eat fresh or organic and healthy

It's way cheaper to go to McDonald's and get a whole meal--burger, fries, and soda, then it is to eat healthy. We have to change the way America is! If you want organic fruits and veggies to be cheaper, we have to get rid of the genetically modified organisms. From watching "Food Inc." I learned that the only reason why potatoes aren't genetically modified is because McDonald's said they won't use them. It sucks that McDonald's has soo much influence on what is grown and what isn't grown.....
Back to the topic. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE: sliced mushrooms, cucumbers, hummus, baby carrots, plain tomatoe sauce, apples, guacamole mmmmmm, and fruits in season. I also need Braggs Amino Acids (taste JUST like soy sauce but has 0 calories and is way lower in salt!) and some frozen mixed veggies to make yummy stir fries.
