julieburns Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Here's what I think of off the top of my head: string cheese - snack beef jerkey - great high protein snack on the go fresh spinach- this I eat almost every day with my tuna for lunch, drizzle light vinaigrette or spray dressing on it tuna, I like the 3 oz pre-drained ready to go packs tuna "lunch to go" packs frozen baby shrimp salmon weight watchers latte "ice cream" bars only 100 calories and so fulfilling Haagen Daz vanilla yogurt and raspberry sorbet frozen bars, also only 100 calories Special K protein water and/ or packets to go Benefiber eggs to hard boil or scramble Kraft light raspberry vinaigrette dressing 100 calorie snacks, there are so many now to choose from. I get a variety pack wish bone salad spritzers, several flavors,all great High protein drink and/or powder. I mix vanilla powder in with my oatmeal in the morning so you get the protein with the carb, much better to control blood sugars. I occasionally use a protein shake for a quick meal on the run if needed. I'll add more as I think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittycat Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Ok I have got to go grocery shopping today after work....I wanted to see what is on your typical grocery shopping list to give me some ideas of things that I can add to mine...

Smart Ones Lean Cuisine Low sugar Oatmeal Crystal light on the go packs Case of bottle water Lettuce Fat free Pringles Lean pockets Asparagus Tilapia I want to see how you guys shop so I can get some ideas and change things up a little.. Come on lets see those shopping list! You need more variety...I rarely eat processed meals. I buy filet minon, filet of sole, pork chops, chicken breasts. I heat up Uncle Ben's Rice (instant/pre-made microwave stuff), mashed potatoes, caesar salad mix (greens and fixings), hash browns, baked potatoes from M & Ms (or other meat market/food market). I realize you are probably cooking just for yourself or your hubby right now, but I find pre-made meals have alot of salt which retains water and I am prone to water retention. Try making a meal from scratch, it tastes better and you will help you with the lifestyle change. You can't eat lean pockets forever sweetie!!!

DaGreen Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 You can't eat lean pockets forever sweetie!!! I've just discovered Lean Cuisine and am LOVING it! I normally do the filets and salads and fish. I had a feeling that this love affair was too good to be true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Trina~ Do you have a Sam's card? If not let me know and one day I will come over and take you with me. I buy alot of my seafood there since it is fresh and wrapped individually. I buy Salmon and Flounder fillets and they are soooo good on the George Foreman grill. They have a huge bag of each for only $12. I also buy their frozen shrimp which are pre-breaded and they are to die for. They are the huge butterflied kind. You can eat 5 of them for 150 cals and 20 grams of protein. Yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyodieter Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 For those of us who don't cook and have problems with portion control, lean cuisines are fine. Just don't add any salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1BandedBabe Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Kim I actually do have a Sam's card but I think its expired... I need to have it renewed so I can start shopping there again.. I am just scared that I will buy in bulk and it will go to waste before it gets eaten since its just me eating it ya know... Sam's has alot of good stuff too! Those shrimp sound great! You know what I loved getting from Sam's.... The battered mushrooms! OMG those things are to die for but soooo NOT good for you!

Kim2BSlim Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 The fish is fine frozen and the packs are wrapped individually so you can just thaw out what you want and freeze the rest! Perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamworthit Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 The fish is fine frozen and the packs are wrapped individually so you can just thaw out what you want and freeze the rest! Perfect! I buy the fish fillet's like that too. I like the salmon and cod. The salmon I grill or broil and the code I marinate for a couple minutes in lime juice, cilantro and hot sauce and then grill. Yummo. As for my weekly shopping: skinny cow 100 calorie yogurts all flavors 80 calorie cheese sticks white albacore tuna fish high fiber cereal skim milk eggs turkey burgers spicy black bean burgers lean cuisines (variety) chicken (I usually grill or broil) Shrimp (boil, grill with a little old bay yummo) sugar free lemonaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
