So my list is pretty basic... Boneless, skinless chicken breast, ground turkey, the basic veggies, apples, whole wheat bread, and tuna for my " I don't want to call it a diet" diet:laugh: I know eventually I will get bored of these foods. I need more variety, so I wanted to know whats on your grocery list? :flowerforyou:

    I'd add herbs and spices, lemon juice. A few bits and pieces to make things tastier. Also maybe plain popcorn, the type you pop your self.

    Other than that I was hoping for ideas too.

    My list is pretty simple..


    *lots of different veggies (whatever looks good and seasonal so hopefully on sale) sometimes I get frozen veggies too.

    *different kinds of fresh lean meats (same thing, whatever looks good and is a good price)

    *lemons and different kinds of fruit

    *different kinds of raw nuts

    *unsweetened almond milk

    *green and herbal tea

    *whole grain wraps and multi grain bread

    *olive oil, safflower oil, butter


    I can get a lot of different types of healthy meals out of that while staying with my goals, and not being bored.

    I don't start with a list of foods, I start with a list of recipes. Once I know what I plan to eat for the week (breakfast, lunch and dinner) I create a shopping list so I only buy what I need. This way I don't tend to throw so much stuff away and it saves money because I check what is hanging around in the freezer or the fridge and look for things to use up what I already have.

    For example, this week I'll be eating:
    - lasagne with green salad
    - veal saltimbocca with steamed veggies
    - grilled fish and crunchy noodle salad
    - porridge with peanut butter and banana
    - tuna and avocado sandwich
    plus more!

    So, my shopping list will include:
    - beef mince (though turkey works well too)
    - red lentils (to replace some of the meat in the lasagne, shhhhh, don't tell my husband!)
    - zucchini and carrot (grated in the lasagne)
    - veal, pancetta, broccoli, snow peas, white wine for the saltimbocca
    - rolled oats, peanut butter, skim milk powder for my porridge
    - banana, cherries, nectarines and other fruit in season
    - carrots and celery and cherry tomatoes for snacks
    - tinned tuna with chilli (see if you can find Sirena tuna, it's delicous)
    - avocado
    - grainy bread

    You get the idea!
    I use an app on my iPhone called MealBoard to plan meals and make a shopping list and it works really well for me.

    I adopted a parfait idea from a MFP friend. So I always have vanilla Greek yogurt and Kashi go lean triple berry crunch. Mix them together and it makes for an awesome and filling breakfast ! I love sardines too with Ak Mak sesame crackers, but that's an acquired taste for sure :)
