I'm sure many of you have been in the position of being in the supermarket without a plan, and missing something that is vital to your diet. So, with that in mind, I decided to post my shopping list and share with you the staples of my diet, in hopes that you guys will do the same.

Please feel free to question/critique anything on my list, and I'll do my best to explain why it's there, and give recipes for them if it applies.

THanks!

So here goes, in no particular order,

1. Skim Milk
2. Natty Peanut Butter
3. Quaker Weight Control flavored oatmeal
4. Ground Turkey
5. 97% Lean Ground Beef
7. Egg Whites by the Carton
8. Nonfat Sour Cream
9. Nonfat Cottage Cheese
10. Variety of Frozen Berries (dark ones)
11. Organic/Natural Salsa
12. Sargento Reduced Fat 4-Cheese Mexican Blend
13. Steel Cut Oats
14. Quinoa (bulk)
15. Dry Roasted Unsalted Almonds
16. Avocados
17. Scallions
18. Zucchini and Squash
19. Taco Seasoning Mix
20. Romaine Lettuce
21. Activia Nonfat Yogurt
22. Canned Beans (red, black, etc)
23. Tuna

This is pretty much it. Needless to say, have a few recipes that I make from this stuff, but I"m interested to see what you guys have to say.

Thanks!

[stormecho]

A 2 gallon mixing bowl, tub of heavy cream, and box of cocoa krispies, on a Friday night.

Sounds better than almost anything else you could do with your hands on a Friday night.

what do u make with the beans?

[stormecho]

Man, I use beans with almost everything. The only downside is farting like an old farm horse, but oh well.

I do ground turkey a lot. Just cook it in a big pan with beans, corn, and a pack of Old El Paso taco mix, then put it on either a 50 calorie whole wheat flatbread, or just romaine lettuce. Tastes great with nonfat sour cream too.

I also do a turkey chili, turkey meatloaf, and turkey/quinoa burgers as well. Tuna, quinoa, beans...the possiblities are endless and beans are really good for you. Loaded with protein and fiber.

PM me if you want recipes, happy to share them

[Grassroots082]

Mines really simple, I can lose bf on high carbs though and I never really use CKD or the likes.

Carbs
Wholegrain bagels
Oats
Sweet potato
regular potato
yogurt
beans
12 grain bread
frozen fruit (blue/black berries, mixed)
fresh fruit (banana, apple, mango, prunes, ect)

Protein
Cottage cheese
whey
tuna
chicken breast
salmon
whiting filets
egg whites
skim milk
ground turkey/beef and sirloin fairly sparingly

Veggies
Broccoli - a must
any other cruciferous (BS, cauliflower, ect)
green beans
spinach for salads

Fats
Almonds
Fish oil
Cheese

Pretty much have it, and if you go to an ALDI or Costco it's really not that expensive. I'm pretty fortunate to be able to lose bodyfat on a higher carb intake, makes shopping less expensive.

I buy the one that says "heavy whipping cream" or "heavy cream" plain and simple on the label. Usually store brands are cheapest.
