    Any fresh fruit or vegetable that you will eat! My faves are strawberry, blueberry, and cherry, and I pretty much like all vegetables. Ground turkey, chicken breasts, lentils, quinoa. Look for "whole grain". Diet mountain dew and Bud Select 55 - 55 calorie beer are my vices :)

    I also try and find healthy recipes, the just buy what I need to make those. If I like it, I make bigger quantity the next time and freeze portions for lunches.

    Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
    91% Lean Ground Beef
    Raw / Frozen Unsweetened Fruit
    Fresh / Frozen Veggies
    Oroweat Healthful Breads

    Organic Soy Milk (Silk Vanilla)
    Lot's of different spices and seasonings.
    shredded mexican blend cheese
    corn tortilla's
    salsa / hot sauce
    Dill pickles
    Fat free refried beans
    Egg whites

    and the two "vices" I've not been able to ditch;
    Coffee Creamer
    Organic Cane Juice - for my morning cup O'Joy.

    My wife buys other stuff - but I only eat that on my "free day" (Pasta's - cookies - ice cream etc.) - but she's pregnant, can't expect her to eat so few carbs.

    I know - boring... - but I've found ways to switch it up - and find if I keep it simple - I can plan my meals easier.

    fruit - raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi. apples, grapefruit
    Veggies - romaine, spinach, red pepper, zucchini, broccoli, tomato, avocado, sweet potato, celery
    meat - boneless skinless chicken breasts; 93/7 ground turkey and turkey patties; chicken roasters
    dairy - skim milk, pepperjack, cheddar & mozz cheeses (I buy regular, and limit how much I eat; I don't like the lowfat cheeses)
    eggs
    almonds
    hummus
    jasmine rice (not good for me but I love it; I have it infrequently and limit myself to 1/2 c)
    Sam Adams Light beer. I figure it doesn't make sense to lose weight by eliminating something I know I'm going to be having after the dieting phase (beer!), so I drink this - it's good! And worth the calories to me. :)
    coffee.

    When I eat bread (rare), it's homemade. I love bread, but when I eat it, I consistently gain 3-4 lbs within 48 hours, and then lose it again after another 48 hrs (if I don't have any more bread), so I'm happier if I just don't eat it at all. Same goes for pasta,.

    always buy fiber one bars, and fiber one brownies. Gotta have yogurt, bananas lean turkey, turkey chops, whole wheat sandwich rounds, cocoa roast almonds 100 calorie pack...oh, gotta have my star bucks coffee drink. Truth be known I would drink coffee and eat chocolate all day, and never eat anything else. I know that's not healthy so I don't do it. But just being honest here!!!!
