I'm just starting to track calories again, and I'm worried that I'm going to only beeating chicken breast and rice(made a nice meal though, 1 4oz chicken breast, 1 cup brown rice, and 1 tbsp of BW3's spicy garlic sauce for flave and only another 25 cal)
So what will you always grab when you go to the store?
I usually load up on frozen veggies, a bag of store(kroger) brand broccoli, mixed veggies, carrots, lima beans etc). I keep them on hand so I can always have a large bowl full of veggies ready in the microwave in just a few minutes.
I pretty much always buy store brand unless a name brand is on sale cheaper.
bags of chicken breast.
pork tenderloins, I usually bake or crockpot
ground chicken/pork/turkey/93beef, will usually end up in a beany chili, tacos, or crappy pasta hamburger helper meals
sweet potatoes/yams - dice or cut in half, spray with olive oil, sprinkle with cajun seasoning and bake
shredded cheddar - usually for chili, though if I am hungry I am known to grab a handful and eat directly.
milk, usually half gallon of organic, probably going to full gallons for regular use with protein powder
basic cheap wheat bread
natty smoot/crunchy peanut butter
low sodium tomato soup
low sodium v8
cheapo brown rice
......miller lite
That's about all I can think of without reaching right now. Looking for more foods that are easily healthy and can be worked into a meal easily.
Also curious how much most are spending per month per person at the grocery eating right these days.
