Grocery List
Been working on my diet and doing pretty good for the past month but there is always room for improvement. Here is my grocery list, anything I should add or remove? The goal is to lose weight, cut out bad carbs, and keep the grocery bill relatively low. Three foods I just cannot do, tuna, cottage cheese, and plain oatmeal. Just cannot stomach them.
Frozen fish fillets - generic brand, tilapia. Chicken - thighs (cheap), some breasts. Turkey - turkey sausage, deli turkey. Beef - not often enough, what cuts to buy? Oatmeal - low sugar, quaker apple cinnamon, any tips for flavoring up plain oatmeal? All Bran cereal Lowfat Yogurt Healthnut Multigrain Bread Natural Peanut Butter Walnuts Veggies - Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, and brussel sprouts. Plan to add more salad/spinach. Jalapenos on the occasional turkey sandwich. Fruits - Apples, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. Eggs - Mainly egg whites with 1 yolk or two. Skim Milk EV Olive Oil Whey Protein Bars Fish Oil Capsules Centrum Multivitamin Green Tea (DeCaff) - Had no idea how much I like this, I can't believe it's good for you. To Try to Add: Beans Wheat Pasta, brown rice (Again trying to keep carbs low). Condiments?

Re: Grocery List
how big are you?
there are certain calorie dense foods (peanut butter, nuts, milk) that are healthy, but might not fit into weight loss plans if you are little...you should also probably stay away from oatmeal packets, they have a lot of crap in them...i use normal oatmeal with cinammon on top, pretty good... you should prob stay away from most protein bars as well as they are usually pretty high in carbs... to help with cost you can also get your fruit frozen, like strawberries and mixed berries, this is good for shakes etc..frozen veggies are also cheaper... again, depending on your size/goals the amount of starchy carbs you have on your list isn't gonna be ideal for someone looking to low carb it...on a low carb most of your carbs should be from veggies + fruit...

Re: Grocery List
217.8 lbs.
I thought since the carbs were somewhat healthy and I was having them in the morning it was ok. I could cut the oat meal from 2 packets to 1. Get up earlier and eat more eggs in place of oatmeal. The 2 packets add up to about 44 g of carbs and I try to keep it around 130-150 per day with all the veggies. Protein bars can definitely be cut but they do make for a good midday snack at work. I'll definitely be buying frozen fruits, as I have been avoiding the frozen aisles and the $4 blueberry cartons are a killer for how small they are.

Re: Grocery List
There's some "healthy" brand or something of oatmeal that i get from walmart a lot. it looks very good nutritionally, but maybe i'm missing something? some stats for it are:
like 1g fat 29g protein 1g sugar 6-7g protein can't remember the exact name of it, but it was in packets. i think it was made by quacker.

Re: Grocery List
If oatmeal comes in packets, it's the instant kind that's processed and not nearly as healthy.
