Does anyone know of some healthy products other then produce that you can find at a local grocery store? Such as diet popcorn, V8, etc.

    Depends on what you consider healthy. Personally, I buy a lot of dairy (milk, yogurt, eggs), meat (beef, chicken, sausage, fish), and certainly some breads, chips, pasta, soups, etc as desired.

    I’m confused by the question. All of my food comes from the grocery store?

    And this:

    What do you think you should be eating that you're not finding at the local grocery store?

    The only thing that makes food healthy is it’s portion size.....
    Aside from of course getting optimal macros and micros.....food labeling is a myth and all preferential/ biased to the person

    Depends on your definition of "healthy," and your definition of "grocery store." I buy some food from restaurants or farmers' markets, but I'm not sure where else you would buy food besides a grocery store.

    Also, why are V8 and diet popcorn "healthy"? I didn't drink a drop of V8 while I was losing weight, and I hope I never have to drink it. Popcorn that is not marketed as "diet" is perfectly healthy, though it may not fit your calorie goal if you add too much butter or oil.

    I consider most anything "healthy", in the proper context and dosage within the diet.

    Some "healthy" things I buy at the grocery store which are staples of my diet: coffee, eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, meat (beef, pork, chicken, fish, turkey, sausages, deli meat, bacon), bread, tortillas, ice cream, peanut butter, vegetables and fruits (fresh, frozen and canned), canned tuna, diet soda, unsweetened iced tea, pork rinds, protein bars, chocolate, cheese, crackers, etc.

    Healthy is a pretty vague term. To me healthy food or drink would mean the product is helping me meet my nutritional needs, is not contaminated and I am not allergic to it. The store is full of items that meet my definition of healthy including a frozen pizza, loaf of bread, lunchmeat or cottage cheese. Another person might have a more narrow definition of what is healthy to them.

    I don't like to drink my calories so buy things like herbal teas in different flavors. I like apple cinnamon or mint.
    I buy plain popcorn kernals. You choose if you will add oil or salt when you cook them.
    I am less likely to overeat pretzels rather than chips or crackers.
