What's on your food shopping list?

[ashley624 21]

So as I'm preparing my food shopping list, I'm wondering what's on everyone else's? What do you do for your Protein? What do you use as a carb?

[TheGamer 406]

My go-to foods are GNC Total Lean shakes, Quest Protein bars, salmon filets (Walmart has them for $5 or $6 a bag, really cheap!), chicken/turkey breast, cottage cheese, greens (spinich, kale, collard), and then I love Kozy Shack NSA tapioca pudding for when I need something a little sweet.

Most of my carbs come from dairy. The Quest bars have about 20g of carbs each, but the net carbs on those are 3 or 4 each.

It's just me so cooking anything in a portion I can eat is a little pointless, and if I try to cook more, I end up wasting food because I can't eat it all in time.

I eat a lot of what is on everyone else's lists plus:

• Frozen berries: easy to thaw just a few and mix with greek yogurt
  
• Frozen veggies, all kinds: easy to take out just a handful or less. I add them to canned Soups to up the vegetables and flavor, or just steam or microwave them to get a little veggies with meals. Lately my favs are whole green Beans, butternut squash, and red and green pepper strips
  
• Canned tomatoes: I add them to lowfat chili to up my veggies and to canned soups
  
• Turkey little smokies
  
• Lowfat Gallo Salami (I think it's 55% less fat, NOT the 95% less fat - it's nasty!)
  
• Special K whole grain crackers
  
• 100% whole wheat bread
  
• Jarlsberg Light Swiss cheese ( I buy at costco - 50 calories and 7 grams of protein)
  
• Canned soups that are high in veggies and low in calories - I add some chopped chicken or turkey for protein
  
• Soy Milk (lactose intolerant post-op)
  
• Starbucks Via Italian Roast Decaf instant coffee
  
• Sleepytime Tea
  
• Sugarfree Instant Cider Mix
  
• Splenda
