The Grocery List...

[JRose]

Ok. Everyone is talking about eating clean, and healthy meals. Here's your thread.

Post up healthy foods ala cart that you get at the grocery store, this way the rest of us can pick and choose the foods we like and eat clean.

Post up unhealthy foods pretending to be healthy

Recipes.

You get the idea.

I'll post some stuff of my own asap, but for the most part I'm the one needing the info. Lol

Re: The Grocery List...

Ditto on the almonds. I have pretty much eliminated chips from my diet and replaced them with almonds.

Another good one is salmon and other fatty fish (and any other fish in general). Just be wary of how you prepare it (butter, etc).

Granola. Quick, easy, and filling. W/ milk its good as breakfast or any other "between" meal

Re: The Grocery List...

my current favorite dish might be salmon

i put a little lemon flavored grape seed oil on it then top it off with crushed cashews and just a smidge of parmsean

it is really good, plenty of protein and good fats.

Re: The Grocery List...

You may want to pick up a book called Food Rules before your next grocery trip. It gives 64 quick 'rules' to follow when looking for food to eat. If you read it and really get those tips in your head, it will make a huge difference in your grocery list. Over the last month, it's become something I grab often when I sit down at my desk for a few minutes. Our grocery shopping has changed a lot in the last month as well, for the better.

Re: The Grocery List...

Broccoli
Tomatoes
Spinach or kale
Avocados
Berries (Blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries mostly)
Apples and Bananas
Free range chicken
Almonds and cashews (unsalted)
Extra virgin olive oil
salmon or tuna
endamame (shelled)-makes a great snack, just microwave

I also pick up jalapenos and fresh garlic if I plan to make healthy guac from the avocados

I'll grab some coconut milk for a shake, mixed with the berries/bananas. Also check out this shake if you are working out regularly:

Also, if possible, pick up the veggies from local farmer's markets' Locally grown vegetables (and local honey) helps allergies sufferers. Try taking a tablet or two a day of alfalfa tabs also.

Re: The Grocery List...

Wow, some of you guys are creative with your meals. Props to yall for making healthy eating tasty!

I shop bi-weekly. I bring home LOTS of eggs, chicken, almonds, potatoes, bananas & milk. As others here have outlined, I prepare most of the weeks meals on Sunday. What I really need is another refrigerator because dozens of eggs, and 30 pre-cooked meals, take up a ton of space.

My first breakfast consists of:

1 scoop whey protein
2 cups oatmeal
1 banana
6 eggs
3 cups 1% milk

Put it all in a blender and chug. Wala, 1500 calories down.

The next three meals, when I am serious about eating, consist of baked potatoes, chicken, and some olive oil/almonds/avacado, and a post workout protein shake.

Dinner is whatever my lovely wife serves.

Evening 1300 calorie shake consists of:

2 scoops whey protein
2 cups oatmeal
1 banana
2 cups rice milk
1 cup of something tasty, like juice, Lifeway Organic Smoothy, or Naked.

I don't know what I would do without a blender!

Re: The Grocery List...

Can someone give some input on a good chicken recipe besides the bland baked or grilled chicken I've become used to making......Looking for something to moisten it up a bit.

 

[cavemanmoore]

Re: The Grocery List...

I've tried putting it in a blender with water. Is is moister, but I don't recommend it.

Re: The Grocery List...

I got this from someone on here and it is awesome.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Starting with trimmed, lean chicken breast, I pounded it to about 1/4 thick with a meat mallet. Placed on foil-lined cookie sheet, and brushed meat with EVOO on both sides. Then I seasoned it with Dillo Dust, and drizzled it with some balsamic vinegar. Baked @ 400 degrees for 30 min (or until temp was OK in thickest part).</div></div>

Re: The Grocery List...

when you bake your chicken , ligthly coat the bottom of a 9x13x2" deep pan with olive oil (just a light wipe down with a paper town soaked with it) seaosn the bottol of the pan with lemon pepper or what every spices you like , lay the bonless skinless breast in their so they are all toucking like a can od sardines then season the top , cover tightly with aluminum foil.
let chicken sit to get room temp , preheat oven to 400 deg.
put chicken in for 20 min then remove and check temp with meat thermometer , 155-160 deg and its done !!! anything over that and it will dry out

somthing else i have noticed is that buying the regualr split breast and cutting the bone and skin off yourself ends up being a bit more juicy and cheaper

Re: The Grocery List...

take chicken breasts (or strips, cubes, whatever) and fill a sealable bowl full of cheap italian dressing and let marinate overnight in the fridge. Then grill or bake them. Adds some flavor and easy, makes great kabobs also.

also, slice a pocket into the breast and fill it with low fat ricotta cheese and whatever else you like that you can fit. I like brocollini or sprouts, but peppers (green, red, etc) are great too. bakes best in a dish and not flat. Find one small enough that they touch and stand upright where the ricotta doesn't ooze out while cooking.

I have also take a reynolds baking bag and used a can of coke to bake a breast or two with. Juicy and has a nice flavor.

but then i just started grilling chicken..shredding it...dip in franks red hot sauce...and eat it with a side of blueberries

Re: The Grocery List...

For moist chicken...use a covered porcelain pot.
This roasts and steams it.
Flavor use...Montreal Chicken Seasoning an cook 50 minutes at 350 degrees (we use a convection oven) prob 15 min longer for a conventional baking oven

Re: The Grocery List...

Digging the chicken recepies... I'm tired of grilled chicken...

 

[jayd4wg]

Re: The Grocery List...

get a "bean pot" from celebrating homes. chicken,pork or beef in, with a jar of homemade (or store bought) salsa, bake 325 for an hour or 2 till done and tender. it's one of them can't fawkitup kinda things. it saved my marriage

J/K, she's a good cook, but it seems like anything that comes out of this stupid pot is DANG yummy and as healthy as you want to make it.

I agree completely! I coat the breast with olive oil and season. Bake at 400 for aprox 20 min. I would say if it is dry, you are likely over cooking it. Using a meat thermometer was the best thing done, to keep the meat from drying out.
