Shopping List

Hey everybody, I have my work schedule down, and all other commitments in-line so now I can really dial in my workouts and diet.

I'm going to be going on a TKD diet, I'm going for a recomp and pretty hard cut for the rest of the summer, I'm at 16% body fat right now(want to get to around 12%) at 5'8 and weigh 194. To lose weight I'm looking for 2500 calories max per day, so 1200 from protein, 1200 from fats and 100 from carbs. I'm going for 6 meals a day to each total 50 grams protein and 25 grams of fat and carbs which can be eaten at anytime, THE CARBS NEED TO BE FROM VEGGIES, NO SUGAR WHAT SO EVER FOR KETOSIS TO WORK. But I was wondering what about fruit is fruit okay?

I just got paid so I can go out for a bit of some shopping and renew my gym membership for the rest of the summer, so can anyone give me some shopping list items? Maybe the best place to find them too?

Once I get everything I need, I'll be logging this(prob next week) so thanks all!
 
Assuming you mean TKD not TKG, the only time fruit would work is around workout time. TKD has minimal carbs before and after workout only. I think up to 50g divided at those two meals. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

But green veggies are ok, corn not so much unless at workout time.

Now if you mean a Cyclic Ketogenic Diet, then 30 carbs total, preferably from green veggies. You would carb load on the weekend so save the fruit till then.
 
No carrots either!!
 
There are unlimited varities of vegetables to eat while low carbing. This list is long but not comprehensive, There are a lot of vegetable choices just don't consume any of the starchy vegetables like corn, carrots and potatoes
There are only a few fruits I can think of mostly berries and maybe melon but you must consume them in small quantities.
