Stocking the Kitchen
After taking stock, I’ve created my shopping list and a general plan. I’ll initially stock up on chicken breasts, eggs, frozen vegetables, brown rice, oatmeal and low-carb tortillas. I’ll also buy enough fresh vegetables to make a homemade salsa so as to be able to add flavor without all the extra sodium.
Here is my starting shopping list:
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Eggs
Whey Protein Powder
Frozen Broccoli, Green Beans, Spinach and Brussels Sprouts
Fresh Tomato, Onion, Bell Pepper, Jalapeno
Brown Rice
Oatmeal
Low-Carb Tortillas
Keeping the shopping list short and starting with a limited number of foods will allow me to get the hang of doing the math every night (counting carbs and protein). As I get the system down, I’ll start expanding the menu options I allow myself.
