First of all, keep it simple. You can take alot of simple ingredients and make an outstanding meal.
Fresh and Frozen fruits and veggies of your choice.
White meat chicken and turkey.
greek yogurt
Skim milk or Almond milk if you don't want dairy
low fat cheese
low fat salad dressing. I like Kens salad dressings, but what ever floats your boat.
water, water, water
whole grain bread and pasta
For your sweet tooth, frozen yogurt or skinny cow icecream
The colorful and leafier the fruits and veggies
Nuts are good
The less processed the better. Try to stay away from processed foods. They have tons of crap you just don't need to add to your diet.0 -
All the suggestions here are fantastic. One good rule of thumb when in the grocery store is to not travel down the aisles. Stay in the parameter of the store. The only things I go down the aislie for are canned tuna; diced tomatoes and canned beans (I used a lot of dried beans). My daily diet consists of fresh fruit, veges (fresh or frozen), skim milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken or fish, eggs, beans and oatmeal.
I stay away from all processed foods, so when I want something crunchy, I make a batch of spicy roasted chick peas. They're great!!!
Great Idea!!!0 -
I didn't take the time to read all posts so I'm sorry if I am repeating but here goes...
If you can find a store near you that carries Walden Farms...get some of those to try. They are 0 everything (carbs, fat, sodium...everything). I get the 0 fat Greek Yogurt and the Walden Farms strawberry syrup...very good "sweet" snack. There are a bunch of different WF products...check em out and then use them to come up with things you like. Other than that....
Boneless/Skinless chicken breasts (this is a must!)
Eggs
Any/All veggies (I get a big bag of frozen broccoli and steam 2 cups for a quick side dish with lunch or dinner)
Mio's (helps keep the water from getting boring and its 0 everything)
whatever seafood you like (shrimp with veggies stir fry using just a little bit of olive oil is a great meal)
Sea Salt (your body needs sodium, but table salt spikes your BP where sea salt (1/4 teaspoon a day) will keep you from getting dehydrated if you are cranking up your water intake)
Not knowing how you are going about losing weight, it is a little tough to give you too much advice, but here are a couple of good high protein (will make you feel full and help keep you from losing muscle mass while losing fat)...
Pure Protein bars make for a good snack to keep your sugar levels even
EAS / Carb Conscious shakes (good for a quick breakfast)
Both of these can be found at Wal Mart in the pharmacy section, or at Wahlgreens,CVS, etc.0 -
eggs
egg whites
sprouted grain bread
Lots of leafy greens
Lots of other veggies to eat raw
Hummus
Plain 0% Greek Yogurt
Frozen wild blueberries
Chicken Breast
Canned Tuna
Canned Salmon
Fresh Seafood such as wild sockeye, halibut, sole etc...make sure not farm raised.
Natural Peanut Butter
If you eat rice and pasta whole grain/brown only
Tomatoes
Apples
Balsamic Dressing
Light Feta Cheese
Ground Turkey Breast
Olive Oil
Real Butter
oooo...see, I should have read before posting! ^^^^^^all of this0 -

Im so excited to go grocery shopping, because im surrounded by junk because my husbands not on a diet, n all my good food is gone.0

Here's one more. One bar of very dark, very yummy chocolate. So that if it's late at night and you have the calories and you just need something for yourself, you can have a square or two as a decadent treat. My husband has been diagnosed with diabetes and swears this is the key for him to be able to eat right during the rest of the day.0
