I go to the store almost daily – I think for some people, that sounds like an alarming rate. . .but going once a week simply doesn’t work for me.
I go through my food at a rapid pace, but given the quality of it, I’m okay with that (I’m not going to beat myself up for devouring all of my vegetables, whereas if I was mauling bags of potato chips, I might have to second guess my restocking habits!)
The usual suspects:
- Fresh vegetables
- Fresh, packaged greens (spinach, mache etc…)
- Frozen vegetables
- Still water
- Carbonated water without chemicals (flavoring from natural fruit)
- Ground chicken (I prefer organic, but sometimes can’t get it)
- Popcorn (the lightest kind I can find, non-greasy, just a touch of oil and salt. PERIOD.)
- Almond milk (unsweetened)
- Coconut creamer (which I mix with the above)
- Chia bars (Heath Warrior, chocolate peanut butter)
- Hummus
- Organic eggs
- Egg whites
- Nitrate-free sliced turkey
There are a few other things I pick up, but those are the typical cast of characters. I think it’s important for us to shop often. . .and NOT to shop hungry.
Food preparation is always a wonderful thing if you can do it (that can be done once a week, maybe twice – there are fabulous blogs out there specifically dedicated to this, not only for fitness competitors, by the way!)
What kinds of foods duo you buy? Are you shopping several times a week? I see the store when the snow comes and I’m always shocked. *LOL*
