Nature's Path pumpkin flax granola
Soy milk (although I've been thinking of trying coconut)
Pure Protein protein bars (20g protein and maybe 7g sugar per bar)
Greek yogurt cups for afternoon snacks at work
Fruit for a morning snack at work--I've been branching out lately beyond apples and bananas to strawberries, plums, pineapple and kiwi, too!
Grape tomatoes, baby carrots, and snow or sugar snap peas, which I eat with my lunch
Flat Out multigrain flax wraps
Sometimes nuts or a sweet treat (Laura's Wholesome Junk Food cookie bite-lettes are DELICIOUS)
And dinners tend to be recipes from the Internet that include lean protein, veg and, more often than not, whole grain something (pasta, bread, quinoa, rice, etc.). That changes to week; I'm working on getting 10-12 yummy healthy recipes with about 4-5 servings each so I can make two or three of them over a few days and then eat the leftovers for another week until they're gone. It's so much easier to eat a healthy dinner when it's already made.
Meat - usually pork and ground beef. Some lamb or steak if it's in the budget (all local, BTW and top quality though not completely grass fed)
Eggs - About 5 dozen per week.
Fresh veggies (also local when in season)
Frozen berries
Unsalted butter
Coffee (Mostly for DH)
2 cans of coconut milk per month (Love this stuff)
I always get Sarahlee delight bread, it's 45 calories per slice. Best bread I've found calorie wise and it's really good !
I always get Oscar Mayer mesquite turkey lunch meat.
fat or 2% cheese
I ALWAYS get soup, I eat it everyday basically. I really like camp Ella homestyle chicken noodle. usually, I'll just eat the broth and give the noodles to fiancé, lol.

Changes as I discover what works but at the moment; leeks, cabbage, carrots and potatoes. Lean meat for sandwiches and lettuce. Semi skimmed milk and some sort of nut to add protein to breakfast. Small bars Dairy milk chocolate and Special K mini bites for treats. Like picking so grapes are handy!
I went grocery shopping last night and got a healthy haul for $40. I tend to vary what I buy based on sales, though. There were some really good prices at the store last night!
From what I remember, I got:
-1 whole chicken
-pack of ground turkey
-pack of chicken tenderloins
-3 cans of tuna
-asparagus, 2 avocados, cucumber, 2 sweet potatoes, red onion, green beans
-3 oranges, box of strawberries
-6 packs of steamfresh veggies (one of the biggest obstacles to my eating more veggies is laziness. If I am lazy I don't want to prep veg - so these are very handy)
-box of Kashi golean crunch
-6 packs of steamfresh veggies (one of the biggest obstacles to my eating more veggies is laziness. If I am lazy I don't want to prep veg - so these are very handy)
Ahaha, same here! I've started eating a bag when I get home from work before dinner, it eliminates the snackiness and I eat way less of the upcoming meal. And they are surprisingly good! I really like the broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, and water chestnuts.
My staples are:
-Steel cut oatmeal
-frozen blueberries (for smoothies)
-peanut butter (also for smoothies)
-various nuts (pistachios, cashews, almonds, walnuts, macadamia, etc)
-guacamole (I get the Wholly guacamole from Costco because it is cheaper and has better ingredients - nothing weird)
-salsa (mixed with some guac - this is nice to put on top of burger patties)
-Frozen boca burgers ot black bean patties from costco
-frozen vegetables (usually green beans, spinach, pepper and onion blends, or carrot/onion/celery blends)
-dried beans (beans combined with frozen veggies, water, and some italian seasoning make a good soup!)
-extra lean ground beef and chicken breasts
-turkey breast burgers and salmon burgers from costco
-sweet potatoes
-greek yogurt
-ground flaxseed
-stevia (i like to put this along with flaxseed in greek yogurt. so yummy)
