I love trying new healthy foods! The way I grocery shop has changed 100% from a year ago. Many of the foods I keep on hand I found on the Hungry Girl shopping list...it is great!
These are some of my favs....

Plain Greek yogurt
Polaner sugar free preserves with fiber
Kashi Go Lean
Canadian Bacon
Avocado
Baby Belle Light cheese
Laughing Cow cheese wedges
Egg Whites
Amy's Organics Frozen Entrees (low carb options)
Gotta have a tiny bit of dark chocolate every once in awhile :)
Torani SF syrups

What do you  keep on hand that tastes yummy and keeps you on track??

I went to Trader Joe's this week and assaulted the whole store hehe

I eat a lot of beans (soup like, make it myself with onion garlic and puree the whole thing). eat with either mexican cheese blend or low fat greek yogurt
trader joe's brie mini bites / goat chesse medallions
string cheese
hummus edamame (yummi and has protein)
home made hummus but not too much (carby)
polly ricota with tomato sauce in microwave, so yummi, a full lunch really
frozen edamame
greek yogurt
sf chocolate jello for few sugar cravings

also bough: frozen tilapia and scallops. they had run out of shrimps for a while, and I love shrimps. tuna doesn't go down well yet so afraid to try the others. my first scrambled egg was in my stomach for hours and I will wait a while before trying it again.

honestly I try to eat non processed food whenever I can. I think they are unhealthy and bad for us.

the hummus edamame is incredible! really spicy. I am hard to please and surprise, but it's totally worth it. try to make some at home, such a brilliant idea and good for protein. I found this one online: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/edamame-dip-recipe/index.html

yeah trader joe's is saving my life lately. they must have it more often in cities where people don't have time to cook :( I wish I did.

I'm pretty boring. I get into food ruts. When I track my food most of the time I hit "Copy Yesterday". I do go out to eat once a week and that is when I kind of spread my wings.
These are my latest staples.
ricotta cheese
Kroger diced grilled chicken
salad
protein powder
Carb Countdown 2% milk
almond milk
coconut milk
Splenda!
cheese
I told you I was boring.

What is Kroger diced grilled chicken?  I shop there all the time.  Have you tried CarbMaster Yogurt from Kroger?  I eat it a lot.

It is the store brand of pre cooked chicken but it's a lot cheaper then Tyson's or Foster Farms. It is diced chicken that is ready to use in recipes, salads and stuff. I had a little trouble finding it. It's not where the other frozen chicken is in my store. I found it near the frozen fish for some reason.
I lived on Carbmaster for the first few months.

What is this Hungry Girl shopping list of what you speak?  I googled it and.....
THANK YOU for letting me know about this cool site.  For anyone else who didn't know about the hungry girl site, here is the link to her 2011 shopping list. www.hungry-girl.com/biteout/show/1908

this will make it so much easier to send DH to the grocery store for me (chuckle)
