I just wanted to know what everyone's shopping list looks like. I'm away from home for 3 months for the first time (I know, it's sad). I have all the obvious things covered.
Chicken breast
Tuna
Brown rice
Oatmeal
Milk
brown bread

Can anyone else help me brainstorm?


Thanks.

ZERO Veggies?

[MadChild]

That's why I asked for help. Thank you. I wouldn't have put veggies down because I am too lazy to make salads and it will just go to waste. I'll just buy some frozen ones.

[Hoenlere]

Spinach Salad:
Baby Spinach + Walnuts + Red Wine Vinegar & Olive Oil dressing. = Holy Crap Good.

There is some healthy frozen split pea soup too.. Tabachnick I think it is?

[scotty2]

Steak(top round) and yams for sure.

[PoolMan]

Eggs.

[Jergo]

extra virgin olive oil?

i like to buy some string cheese once in a while for some fat as well as some protein.

[Hoenlere]

Olive oil.. good call.. try to get organic extra virgin.

[MadChild]

so even though I take a swig of flax oil three times a day, some virgin olive oil is in order as well?

Yeah, I'm gonna get some steak. Seeing as we have a mad cow quarantine it should be cheap as hell.

What's your guys' take on macaroni and cheese? It's simple carbs, is there any way to counteract the increase in insulin or should I try to stick to whole wheat pasta?

[Zack]

you guys are forgetting the three most important part to any BBs diet coco puffs, ice cream, and hot pockets ..

what about some natural peanut butter and soy milk( I use it to mix my shakes with)

[MadChild]

Why do you use soy milk?

My junk food is drinking Diet Dr. Pepper while using a piece of licorice as a straw.
