What does your shopping list look like??

Do you like analysing people shopping baskets as much as I do?? Not passing judgement... I just find it interesting what people choose to spend their money on.

I have spent the last 15 minutes planning my menu for the week and writing my shopping list and thought I might share it. If you don't really like reading blogs about what people eat/buy then I'll see you next post! *wave*

Here's my plan for this week (inspired by Ajay's food plan on HBC):

Breakfasts:
- egg white omelette with mushies, tomato and spinach
- poached eggs on 1 slice grainy toast
- porridge with berries
- berry and skim milk smoothie and a piece of grainy toast w/avocado

Morning tea options:
- apple and a small tin of tuna
- boiled egg
- salmon on 2 vita wheats
- smoothie w/ whey protein
- light cheese and 8 rice crackers

Lunches:
- turkey and salad sandwich
- egg white omelette w/ salad
- tuna or salmon salad
- grilled chicken breast and salad (or in a wrap)
- veggie soup with chicken or beans

Arvo snack options (no carbs):
- tin tuna
- 3 boiled egg whites
- handful raw nuts
- turkey
- ham
- salmon
- protein shake or bar
- lite cheese

Dinners:
- omelette and salad
- grilled fish/steak/chicken and steamed veg
- chicken/beef/tofu with stirfry asian veggies
- warm chicken salad
- thai beef salad
- chicken and vegetable soup

I'm trying to minimise carbs in the afternoon/evening as I want to get out of the habit of having a sweet thing after dinner each night... plus I don't need all that sugar sitting around all night waiting to jump on my thighs while I'm not watching.

Just wanted to say a big embarrassed thank you to Philippa for saying such nice things about me over at Skinny Latte Strikes Back

Big hugs!

Your list is so organised and fabulously healthy and varied *jealous*

I'm a shocker of a shopper. I buy my brekkie (toast or porridge after the gym) and lunch (toastie or sushi) most days at work and for dinner we never make a list before hitting the shops and so often have the same things every week - marinaded steak, grilled fish, chicken (grilled, stir fried, or oven baked with french onion soup powder making a crispy coating), soup & toasties or a lazy-ass micro meal on a monday (when neither of us want to cook) - I also eat steamed veg with just about everything (now and then it will be my whole meal - with pesto and parmesan of course).

Actually thinking about it, we ate a lot more variation before I started watching what I ate, time to hunt out some new recipes me thinks.
