Even if you are the most organized person, grocery shopping can be quite confusing. • Unhealthy foods look quite tempting and it can lure you into buying them; interrupting progress in your health goals. • Therefore, you should ensure that you think rationally before going grocery shopping. • As a registered nutrition consultant in California, I have come up with various ideas and ways to make a healthy grocery list. And if you are someone who gets confused about what to buy, and what not to, here are a few tips for you –
Plan Out and Plan Ahead If you already have the necessary ingredients to prepare tasty meals throughout the entire week then it is an excellent way to keep a healthy diet plan. But, if you have an empty fridge, freezer or pantry then it can lead you to depend on fast food or takeout, particularly when you have a packed schedule. That’s why it’s so important to stock your shelves with nutritious options. Ensue that you plan ahead for the entire week so that you don’t have to panic looking at an empty fridge.
Keep a Running Grocery List Rather than scrambling to remember which favorite pantry staple you recently ran out of, keep a running list of the items you need to buy during your next trip to the grocery store. Dry erase boards or magnetic to-do lists that hang on your fridge are excellent ways to keep tabs on your kitchen inventory. Be Very Realistic about Your Goals There may be plenty of things that you, or someone from your family don’t really eat.
Therefore, you should make a grocery list of the foods that you are actually going to eat. There is no use of putting something into the list that you are not going to eat at all. Buying such foods or ingredients are only going to waste your money and waste the food. So, add foods which you are really going to eat. Organize the List To keep yourself away from any sort of confusions, you should organize your list.
For example, you can simply list out the foods that you are going to eat, by dividing into food categories. The food categories can include – • Protein • Carbohydrates • Vegetables • Fruits • Beverages • Healthy fats • Dairy products
You can include or not include sweets and other snacks based on your preferences. If you are planning onto cutting down in sweets and snacks, do not make a space for snacks in the list.
