Grocery List
I swear I go to the grocery store at least twice a week..and the people at the store know me by name..and they know exactly what I buy because it is the same stuff and it never changes.
Protein:
Chicken, fish (roughy or tilapia), canned tuna, flank steak (eaten off season)
Complex Carbs:
Oats (old fashion oatmeal only!!), sweet potatoes/yams, brown rice (the real stuff, none of that instant crap!), whole grain or ezekial bread (off season)
Veggies: (all frozen or fresh, nothing canned!)
Broccoli, asparagus (I eat tons of this), green beans, spinach, bell peppers, cilantro
Fruit: (I only eat one fruit a day and it’s right before I workout)
Banana’s or apples
Healthy fats:
smart balance omega butter, natural peanut butter (off season), olive oil
Dairy:
Eggs, cottage cheese
Misc:
Tea (any type of hot tea, I love it!!), dry seasonings (Mrs. Dash, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder etc.), salsa (low sodium), lemon and lime juice, garlic, mustard, splenda, sugar free jello, Gum (I live off sugar free gum, definately gets me through my sugar cravings), spray butter (off season), balsamic or red wine vinegar
Random Supps:
Syntha 6 protein, super seed (mix 2 scoops with my cottage cheese before bed), xtend, multi vitamin, vitamin C, glucosamine, sesamin, diet pill I am taking at the time
So that’s about it..I rarely buy anything else..there really is no need to, because if I buy crap food, I will eat crap food. I don’t eat anything out of a box (boxed dinners, frozen dinners etc.) I also keep my food pretty plain especially when prepping for a competition, when I am off season I will add more seasonings and such to my chicken and veggies.

that is a great list, and except for the fish(trying to develop a taste for any fish ), very close to mine.

Holy crap, that’s like exactly what I eat. When I go to the grocery store by my house the lady there always asked me if I remembered my boneless skinless chicken breasts.

i plan on printing this list out. i am moving out, and am going to have to make that dreaded first shopping trip to the grocery store soon.
a few questions though… why only one piece of fruit? is it the natural sugar content? because bananas are really high in sugar.
and no milk at all? not even skim? thats one thing i may need to bend on. i love milk entirely too much!
your lists are super helpful!
