My Grocery List

I was grocery shopping yesterday and noticed an overweight women walking my way with a very full shopping cart.  90% of her shopping cart were foods(doritos, frozen pizzas, lot’s of soda, and a whole bunch of frozen dinners) I would definitely tell a client to avoid, espiecially if weight loss was a goal.  Next time you’re grocery shopping, check out what people are buying, or maybe double check your own grocery list.  I decided to take a picture of our groceries and list them out below.

• Minute Brown Rice (quick and easy to make, i usually make at least 2-3 days worth)
• Pinto Beans (great source of carbohydrates with 0 sugar, 6g protein and 5 g fiber)
• Broccoli Florets (steam for best nutrition retention)
• Apples (perfect for breakfast or after a workout)
• Tilapia Fillet (excellent source of lean protein)
• Egg White Liquid (If your eating more than 2-3 whole eggs, drop the yolks)
• Turkey Bacon (Butterball seams to be the best)
• 100% whole wheat Bread (make sure its whole wheat, NOT enriched white flour)
• Instant Oatmeal (Buy the lower sugar, or better yet opt for the steel cut oats)
• Carb-master Yogurt ( 60 cal, 4g carbs, and 8g protein; only at kroger. look for the low carb option)
• Eggs (eat up to 2-3 whole eggs, drop the yolks if your eating more)
• Coffee (stay away from adding sugar and cream)
• Lean Ground Beef 93/7 (ground turkey is another great option)
• Chicken Breasts (cut off all visible fat before cooking)
• Ham Deli Meat

TIP:  Stick to the edges.  The majority of all the good stuff(fresh not processed) lies on the outer edges of your grocery store, like fruits, vegetables, lean meats, cheeses, milk and breads.  Avoid buying stuff in boxes and bags if you can!
