Grocery list?

Don't buy a lot of unfamiliar things and go crazy trying to change everything at once. Pick a new recipe and try that first. Gradually switch over to healthier things as you find you prefer them. I mean, how many calories did you just buy, and how many breakfasts will it take to eat that much?

I also like the Oscar Meyer shaved turkey. You can have 6 slices for 45 calories. I put it on a whole wheat deli thin with a smear of yellow mustard. The whole thing comes to only 145 calories.
My best suggestion, as others have posted, would be to make small changes in what you are eating. Only try one or two new things a week. Try to eat in moderation with everything else. I find that I tend to eat the same 2 to 3 things per meal every week.
Good luck and feel free to friend me.

Frozen fruit (great to add small amounts in protein shakes/smoothies)
Dark, leafy greens!
Diet hot chocolate (my treat at the end of the day, only 25 calories)

Hi!
I am just beginning my journey and need a grocery list so I can get some healthy foods in the house. Right now I am just on breakfast foods.
So far I have:
Egg Whites
Veganaise
Yogurt
Almonds
Pistachios
Steel Cut Oats
Almond Milk
Soy Milk
Uncaged Eggs
Cinnamon
Protein Powder
Cottage cheese
Raisins
Kashi cereal
Coconut shavings


Anything to add for lunch/dinner?

That's alot of different foods for breakfast. Here's my breakfast and it never changes quick and easy: quaker weight control mapel and brown sugar oatmeal, skim milk and bananas. The smaller the list the easier it is to stick to it.

Eggs I usually eat for lunch before I go to work. Cottage cheese for me is sometimes my dinner @ work. You want to have a few options but not go overboard on choices. Make it simple so it's easier to stick to.

Forgot to add some other great protein options: chicken, tuna and turkey (try oscar mayer all natural turkey lunch meat)
alot of ppl on here mention eating laughin cow cheese never tried it but ppl mention it alot.
also a really good switch is to try sweet potato fries instead of french fries. They taste amazing!!!
forgot to also mention beans especially black beans and dark kidney beans.
You could always just dress up a salad with chicken but best choice of dressing is vinergeratte or however you spell it as long as you can tolerate it. But salads make a good lunch.

Don't buy a lot of unfamiliar things and go crazy trying to change everything at once. Pick a new recipe and try that first. Gradually switch over to healthier things as you find you prefer them. I mean, how many calories did you just buy, and how many breakfasts will it take to eat that much?

THIS!!! And research some of these foods. You may find more of a nutritional benefit from the almond milk than the soy milk. And where are the fruits and veggies???

Lean Meats
Eggs
Veggies
Water
Oats
Trail Mix
Quinoa
Apples and Cuties
Tuna
Toilet Paper

LOL @ vynvyn's last list item..."toilet paper"

D'oh...completely forgot the fruits and veggies.
I guess I am just so afraid of getting bored of the oatmeal with fruit in it.

You will not get bored of oatmeal!! I love it, after about a week of eating it, usually 45minutes of eating it, I get so pumped up! I always eat it an hour before my workout.

lean protein - i.e. chicken and fish

And I second the protein powder. I *only* and very sparingly use it for baked goods.

Here is my weekly grocery list:

Whole wheat bread
Double fiber english muffins
produce (bananas, cucumbers, spinach, grapes if on sale, carrots, celery, sweet potatoes)
sandwich meat
yogurt
frozen veggies
soy milk
silk fruit n protein
soup if its cold
eggs
cheese (shredded, sliced and string sticks)
cracker chips
100 cal cookie packs
100 cal nut packs

I always make sure to add cat food to my list. Dolly can get angry if she is hungry.

I am not sure if it was mentioned before, but some items may sound healthy or advertised as healthy but are not. If you have an Iphone or Android phone ... check out a free App called 'Fooducate' or visit the website ... Fooducate.com You can scan the food you plan to purchase and it give you a healthy or non-healthy grade from A to D- ... it even suggest an alternative. I wish you well on your journey. I thought I was eating healthy until I getting this App and visiting their website.
