Ok, I have my own list, but frankly would like to expand it. Recipes help but, for this thread, how about if we just list foods that should/could appear on a well-made 'eating clean' shopping/meal list...


The very basic...

oatmeal (whole grain)
chicken, breast (skinless, boneless)
cottage cheese (fat free or low fat)
brown rice (long grain)
broccoli
tomatoes
sweet potatoes


The 'would work for some plans, not for
others'...

top-round steak
pasta (whole wheat) [possibly organic]


Let the listing begin! Give your favorites or fill in what gets left out as we go along...

beans
mushrooms
bell peppers
salmon
scallops
bison steak(lower fat than chicken breast and tastes awesome)
ground trukey breast;it can be added to anything for a different texture
I think that seasonings become vitally important when trying to eat clean(low sodium of course)

Ground turkey. I like to mix a little bit of "Franks hot sauce" in it and eat b4 bed...good sleep, good slow release protein.

Good list Fireproof... thanks.

Any more additions?

What about other ideas for food prep? To keep from getting tired of a food type?

I think a lot of people forget about lean ground beef. You can now find 96% lean ground beef in most grocery stores (including Walmart) for pretty cheap, and it has about the same fat content as a chicken breast.

Plus, it's very flexible. I brown up a few pounds of it at a time and eat it a variety of ways (on a salad, or mixed with sweet potatoes, or just plain with a side of veggies, etc...)

Good source of protein. Red meat = yummy! :D

Don't forget plenty of greens. Top three choices would be: Broccoli, Asparagus, and Green Beans.

I second the ground turkey. In many cases, its cheaper than chicken and a lot leaner too.

All we're really given is a little dash between two dates: when you started and when you ended. What will you do with your dash?
WOW!!

Careful with the frozen boneless/skinless chicken it can have a hell of a lot of sodium.

Whole wheat tortillas and a sugar-free salsa: great for tex-mex varieties.

Olives: most only think of the oil but why not eat the whole fruit - especially for satiety when dieting.

Be careful with the whole wheat tortillas. I love them but until recently I didn't know that some brands contain hydrogenated oils.

i noticed after i ate a whole wheat tortilla (with tuna) last night that i had a weird smell/feeling something coming from my stomach(or wherever) , unless it was my multi.

The Hydrogenated oil should show up on the ingredidents so just get whole wheat totillas w/o Hydrogenated oil. problem sloved

Mustard like Grey Poupon is virtually calorie free and adds taste to food.

I like to eat different types of wild game as typically they have a lower fat content yet a high protein content
Another thing to try is edamame. :thumbsup:

Yeah, mustard is definitely the bodybuilder's condiment. Anyone mention GrapeNuts? A little high in sodium but they're great in the morning w/skim milk when I dont have time to cook oatmeal.

well its sounds like things are going well for, that's great

you at 242? don't turn to the side, we might not be able to see ya haha .. what are you currently at?

right now i'm sitting at 206 around a true 10% and i've been natty since my last show .. which is great because i started dieting last at 205 around 13%

however i fear i'm gonna lose some weight as my finals are about to kick into high gear and i've already taken the past two weeks of the gym and unfortunately will definitely have to take next week off as well .. its also hard for me to get all my meals in currently .. but such is life

no comps planned any time for at least the next two years ... i wanna get up to 230 or so before i diet down again .. i figure then i could come in at 198 at 5'8 and be just where i should be at as a light heavy

Almonds!....everyone should be eating Almonds (or any nuts, but almonds are best)

they also have whole wheat pizza dough now premade and what not..you can make a nice pizza using that and some low fat mozzerella and some Ricotta cheese....F the tomato sauce cuz most probably has HFCS in it..

any kind of lowfat dairy should be in the diet IMO cheese..milk...the other day i had a 1% mlik sugar free or no sugar added chocolate milk...**** was good.

of course chicken in a can (like the tuna)...or the salmon in a can..etc.

shrimp are good also.....some shrimp/brocolli can't go wrong

water chestnuts are good also...low cal and high fiber..they give an awesome crunch and texture to just about anything...

have some of those, turkey bacon and egg/egg white omelette...:burger:

I'm currently sitting at about 258 or so, been dieting down since a week before thanksgiving. Started a bit slow, but the weight has been melting off now that I've really dialed the eating. I've been partying like a mofo over the last couple of months I'm not much leaner than I was in the pics from right after I got off the juice... Soon to change though :)

Don't stress too much about small setbacks man, they happen, you're in killer shape and you've got some good size on you. School is super important and you will come back really fast after the layoff, so it's all gravy. Just do whatever it takes to be happy and everything else will take care of itself.

Anyone have thoughts on Maverick Naturalite 4% fat ground beef?

I eat alot, as it is easy to prepare, and isn't high in fat at all like typical ground beef.

It would be best to choose a lean protein plus a low gi carb. Then just throw in some good fats every now and then.

Homemade granola: Get some rolled oats. Drizzle with a little oil and then bake and the oven at 350 until turning golden. (You have to experiment with this to get it right. Use your judgment the first few times.) Put oats in a big bowl. With a coffee grinder, grind up some flax seeds, then some almonds. Put each in the bowl when done. Add some toasted wheat germ. (Get this stuff at a food-coop or health food store bulk if you can.) Add some sunflower seeds. Shake in a bunch of cinnamon. Just keep going with the cinnamon because it is good for you and you'd be surprised how much you can use. Mix everything together. For a sweetener, drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the granola and mix it in thoroughly in batches. (I use cane syrup.) Put in as much or as little as you like of all the ingredients. I thought I'd contribute this although it isn't exactly a list. I hope this is OK. But I'll add a short list also:

Tilapia fillets -- shake some blackened redfish seasoning on them and sautee in olive oil
Lean ground beef
Boneless chicken breasts
Yogurt
Granola - see above
Hunan chicken - extra spicy and light on the oil
Stouffer's bistro dinners -- I'm too busy to cook all the time.
Sweet potatoes
Beans, peas
Asparagus, broccoli
Any kind of mushroom
Anything spicy or made with curry
