An assortment of fruit and veggies that you actually like and will eat.
Lean protein the you like: Choose from boneless/skinless chicken breast, lean cuts of beef even pork, what type of fish do you like? Don't forget shrimp, great for stir fry.
I like crunchy salt so chips are my sin but not healthy. i choose rice cakes and whole grain crackers to get my fix.
Whole grain breads and cereals, don't forget oatmeal, if you like it.
The trick is to get what you like and what you'll eat. There's no use stocking up on foods just because they're healthy is you won't eat them.
If you need a sweet fix go with sugar free ice cream or Popsicles.

this is a good chicken to have for dinner.
Easy Garlic and Rosemary Chicken
INGREDIENTS
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cover the chicken breasts with garlic, then sprinkle with rosemary, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until done and juices run clear (baking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts).
as a side dish this goes well together.

The thing to do is stay on the outside of the aisles.
By that I mean avoid the highly processed 'food'.
Load up on fresh meats, fish, produce, dairy, & eggs.
Go easy on the carbohydrates; avoid white sugar & flour:
only whole grain breads, pastas, brown rice, etc.
Dried or canned beans are good sources of protein & fibre.
Olive Oil for salads, light oils for cooking, no transfats.

Lots of fruits and veggies, whole grain bread and pasta, beans, olive oil, turkey breast, chicken, pork, ground turkey or turkey sausage, skim or soy milk, low fat yogurt, baked chips or multi-grain pretzels, and if you really want something sweet, there are lots of fat free, light, or sugar free frozen items.

-Egg subsitue such as egg beaters
-Whole grain / Multi grain bread
-Whole wheat pasta / spaghetti
-Low-fat yogurt such as light n' fit
-Fresh vegetables (Green beans, peppers, sweet potatoes, brocoli, cauliflower, etc.)
-Fresh fruits (Apples, bananas, cherries, blueberries, mangos, pineapple, etc. )
-Flaxseed or flaxmeal (pre-ground flaxseed, you can grind it yourself though)
-Nautral Peanut Butter
-Chicken Breast
-Veggie burgers ( I suggest vegan boca burgers, yum! )
-Instead of buns, try english muffins. I use Thomas's Light Multi-grain.
-Try not to buy too many 'snacky' foods like chips, pretzels, etc. But if you must, go for healthier such as rice cakes, whole grain pretzels, and if you want dip, use hummus.
-For drinks, buy minimal amounts of juice, and go for mostly water, it can be flavored too. Or, try crystal Light packets, only 5 calories per serving, and adds a lot of flavor. Avoid soda and other empty-calorie drinks.
-Low-sodium soups
-Low-sodium deli cut chicken breast for sandwitches
-Whole grain tortillas
-Pita bread
-Hummus
-Salad ( Go for leafy and colorful kinds such as Spring Mix, they provide more nutrients than just green. )
-Puffed rice,corn, or wheat cereal. (Avoid sugary kid kinds, the kinds I have names have 60 calories per cup)
-Light Soymilk or fat-free milk
-Salad spritzer ( Only 1 calorie per spray) Or light/low-fat dressings
Hope this helps!
