whole grain bread (or in my case I prefer low carb bread)

egg whites/whole eggs - you can buy eggwhites in little carton but

it is cheaper to just buy them by the carton.

oatmeal - quick oats not instant

PAM spray(butter and regular flavor)

Lots of green veggies, lettuce

Skim milk

Whey protein powder (to make a shake out of or add to yogurt)

A few bars(usually odyssey bars for when I'm out on the weekend)

non fat cottage cheese

pack of frozen fruits(1 cup with 1 cup cottage cheese for last meal)

Sugar free maple syrup

Flaxseed oil

Chicken

extra lean ground beef

1.5L empty bottle(to refill with water)

I now also keep some whole wheat tortillas around for the mornings

when I feel like making an egg burrito(it's in the bfl book)

These are all things I pretty much keep stock of at all times.

I have the EFL book and copied the shopping lists straight out of the

book (you can also download copies at www.eatingforlife.com

<http://www.eatingforlife.com/> ). So I took those along when I went

shopping this weekend, and I didn't but anything that wasn't on the

list, except for some sugar-free popsicles for my kids.so I am pretty

well stocked to start off tomorrow. I have also been stocking up on my

Myoplex MRPs (regular and Lite). Believe it or not, I've gotten some

great deals on eBay, of all places. Some of the things I've gotten are:

Cottage Cheese - a requisite for me

Apples

Yogurt

Salmon

Orange Roughy

Tuna

Spinach

Whole Wheat bread

Non-fat or Low-fat cheese

Yams

Lots of Veggies

Raspberries

Sliced Turkey

Whole Wheat Tortillas

Brown Rice

Oatmeal

Fat Free/Sugar Free puddings (to flavor 'desserts')

Eggs (lots since I prefer eggs over EggBeaters, and my dogs love the

extra yolks!)

Fat Free Sour Cream

Fat Free Cool Whip

Chicken (lots, because I love chicken fixed anyway it can be)

Peas

Ore-Ida Potatoes O'Brien (yummy)

Venison (from the two deer my DH and I got this year)

Good Luck and feel free to email me off Group for any questions on the

above..

Starting tomorrow! Shopping List?

Hi Christy! I'm starting a new challenge tomorrow-- and methinks some

others here will be as well.

I'm interested in hearing what people have on their grocery lists

prior to starting a challenge... would you please share yours?

Thanks in advance to those who share their lists!

Onwards!

If I'm not at my 20% or don't care about going slightly over, I'll

usually add flaxseed oil in a salad, a shake or oatmeal. I usually

count about 1 teaspoon for any of the 3. I'll usually make a salad

for 2 people though so I add more into the bowl to compensate for

the other person. I also forgot to add almond butter and peanut

butter(real) to my list

Some people on this list will tell you to not count flaxseed oil in

your total daily calories but everything else I have read says that

it is supposed to count since it is high in calories and to lose fat,

you need to create a calorie deficit. Sometimes I get my 20% of

fat intake just by eating regular foods. Opinions on this board do

vary on this subject though but I think the above should be kept

in mind

Here's what I do.. I don't think most people do this. I've calculated

how many grams of fat per day would equal 20% of my total daily caloric

intake (32grams for a 1450 calorie diet). After eating clean for a

while, I know how much fat is in what foods etc(I also use fitday.com

every now and then to keep me in check)..
