Default Grocery Lists

I've always been curious...

1. What plan are you following?
2. What does your typical grocery list look like?


For me...
1. I'm calorie counting
2. My typical grocery list looks like:
1% Milk
WW Bread
Rice Cakes (low fat)
Medium Eggs
Chopped Romaine
Bananas
Mandarin Oranges or Tangerines
Baby Carrots
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Salad Dressing (creamy, but low-cal)
Instant Oatmeal
A plethora of soups (condensed or hearty)
Onions
Raspberries
Kiwis
Yogurt
Skim Mozza
Rice
Chicken Breast (skinless/boneless in the bulk pack)
Lean Ground Beef
Steaks (I trim the fat myself)
ICBINB
Frozen Peas, Corn, Broccoli, and Brussel Sprouts
Turkey Pot Pies (low fat for those days I don't want to cook)
Potatoes
Jell-O

It's not always the same, but generally this is what I buy at some point during the month.

What about everyone else?

You girls are giving me some ideas...

Okay I calorie count

Grocery List:
- Fruit, 2 per day varies with what is in season....orange,
apple, banana, cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew melon, all kinds of
berries, pineapple, grapes, kiwi, peaches, nectarines, plums, plouts, lemon,
limes (keep a fruit bowl in my office and collegues come by to get some,
subtle way of letting them know not to bring me sweets)
- Veggies: bagged spinach, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers,
carrots, celery, tomatoes, avocado, mushrooms, onions, garlic
- Canned green beans
- Black Beans
- Fatfree refried beans
- Salsa
- Chicken breasts
- Some type of fish for two meals
- whole wheat flour and corn tortillas
- eggs
- fat free milk
- fat free yogurt
- fat free cottage cheese
- low fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- Triscuits
- whole wheat pasta

and then what might be on sale or I find interesting.

I won't tell you what I by for my husband, I put all his junk food on the very top shelf that is above my eye level in the pantry so I never see it. He even forgets it is there sometimes, but he does have his cravings for junk food sometimes.

I went yesterday, and from what I can remember:

1% milk
ff yogurt
light string cheese
lean pork chops
a few lean cuisine meals (they were on sale!)
frozen cauliflower
fresh zucchini
bagged lettuce
apples
tomato
clementines
soups
sf popcicles
raisins
wheat bread
lf lunchmeat (turkey)

I can't remember more, though I know there was more. Hmmm. It was a pretty thorough grocery shop, so I know I'm missing stuff. That's pretty indicative of a usual shopping trip... Sometimes more veggies, sometimes more dairy (cottage cheese), sometimes cereal, etc....

chick peas
sugar snap peas
0.5 lb box of mixed greens
spinach naan (yum)
couscous
corn
lemons
hummous
ryvita fruit crunch crispbread
tomatoes
mushrooms
avocadoes
cucumbers
salsa (yummy on EVERYTHING)
free-range eggs
organic plain yogurt
raspberries
wheat cutlets (hahaha. i know, it sounds lame. but it has a good texture and it's much less calorie-laden than beef)
whole wheat pasta
soy cheese/sharp cheddar
honey mustard
Kashi Go-Lean
pomegranates (when in season)
squash
washed/peeled baby carrots (perfect snack)
tuna!



umm, I know I'm forgetting things, but lots of fruits and veggies. I'm an experimenter, so I'll buy anything once.
