This may so incredibly dumb but...

Where do you get "lean meats" in the supermarket?

Do you need fish in your diet if your taking a fish oil supplement?

I occasionaly eat carrots but hate veggies in general. If you could only recomend one veggie what would it be?

Arent oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, 12 grain bread etc... "whole grains"?

Thanks so much for your input. I had no idea by diet was that bad.

90% lean ground Buffalo
yams
sweet potato's
Brown Basmati Rice
Skim milk
95% lean ground Turkey
fresh veggies and fruit
Natural organic WW bread
eggs
water
organic soup.....chicken
light coconut milk
black beans
shrimp
cottage cheese
natural peanut butter

for lean meats try lean cuts of beef... chicken breast... salmon...tuna fish... stuff like that without a lot of fat in them... hence the "lean"

I would recomenned things like

cottage cheese
natural peanut butter
leafy veggies like spinach etc
yams

someone correct me if im wrong but i believe bannanas are high in sugars so there are better choices for fruits such as grapes

on the whole deal about the bread... I would use it sparingly...

I think jodi posted a "shopping list" some where in this forum... try a search it might help... this is all i can think of for now

I just bought a "lowfat" peanutbutter and it still has like 18% of your daily value in fat.

Oh and I also eat bananas right after my workout with a protein shake, for the most part.

I buy the same shit every sun...It never vary my diet. I just add more of the same food.

It gotten to the point where I read the label of every food item I eat.

last time i was at vons i got two things of moose tracks ice cream, two bags of doritos (it was buy one get one free) and a box of yellow zingers.

Salad ingredients - lettuce, tomato, mushroom, cucumber, celery, sprouts, peppers, rocket

What's 'rocket' ? Is that Aussie slang for a type of veg?

Just curious

What's the point of buying "low fat" peanut butter? You should eat peanut butter for fat.

I don't think it is 'slang'.... Let me look for a piccy....

Here

arugula [uh-REW-guh-la] = arrugola = (in Britain ) rocket (salad) = tira = Italian cress = Mediterranean rocket = rugola = rugula = roquette = rucola With its peppery and slightly bitter flavor, arugula is a terrific green to throw into an otherwise boring salad. It can be gently braised, too. Some supermarkets sell it in small bunches, but you're more likely to find it combined with other greens in a spring salad mix. Equivalents: 1 cup = 1 ounce Substitutes: watercress OR tender spinach leaves plus dash of ground pepper OR Belgian endive OR escarole OR young dandelion greens (more bitter) OR young mustard greens OR chicory OR radicchio

I get more than enough fat in my diet. I dont need any more coming from high fat, processed, sugary peanutbutter.

PS: I now HATE yams. Are red potatoes just as good nutritionaly speaking? They taste just like regular potatoes.

LOL - I hate to tell you but getting natural PB is going to give you more 'sugary processed crap' than just getting the natty stuff.

They add icing sugar, vegetable oil and salt to the low fat stuff. Natural PB just has 1 ingredient - peanuts.

Are red potatoes just as good nutritionaly speaking? They taste just like regular potatoes.

I doubt you were eating true yams - you were probably eating sweet potato.

Red potato is fine. They do not have as much vit A as sweet potato and they will be a higher GI (if you are concerned with GI) but they can easily be added to a good nutrition program without a problem.

Twelve grain bread = garbage? I thought multigrains and wheat were the only way to go?
