I'm feeling lazy

Who wants to put together a grocery list for me? C'mon, you know you wanna. Give me a week's worth of healthy foods, ideas for meals, etc. I'm trying to lose weight and focus on protein.

I'll give you an internet if you do.

Vegetables.

Bread stuff.

Dairy stuff.

Meat/veggiealt stuff.

Yeah.
I'm lazy too.

Base it on the Food Pyramid and shop around the perimeter of the store.

Produce -

2 servings of fruit a day
2 to 5 servings of vegetables a day

Dairy -

2 to 4 servings a day, non fat or low fat - yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, hard cheese,

Meat & fish - protein

1 or two servings a day, choose from - poultry, turkey breast, lean beef, lean pork or veal or lamb.
4 servings a week - any fresh fish, or canned tuna or salmon or sardines
or 4 eggs per week
or 1/2 cup cooked legumes a day choose from lentils, beans of any kind

Whole grains -

3 or 4 small servings a day, choose from - whole grain breads 1 slice a day, whole grain cereals, brown rice and other grains (quinoa, bulghur wheat) - 1/2 cup servings.

Fats -

3 small servings a day total 1 TBS, choose from olive oil, nut oils, seed oils, avocados

Nuts & seeds

1 small serving a day, no more than 1 ounce choose from peanut butter, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), etc.

Hope this helps

Menus - calorie target 1300 to 1450, with one day at 1500 to 1600.

breakfasts - either cold or hot cereal, milk and fruit every morning.  once a week I have an egg with toast, fruit and milk.

lunches - salad with either meat, fish or beans, or a vegetable soup, or a sandwich made from leftover meat from the night before, or tuna or egg. I make my own olive oil vinaigrette, or a creamy avocado dressing.  Sometimes I add seeds or nuts.  One salad this week will be steamed broccoli with walnuts and creamy dressing.

dinners -

1.  chicken breast, brown rice, green vegetable, yellow/orange vegetable- this can be a stir fry or cooked separately and arranged on a platter.  I sometimes make a low fat cheese sauce to go with it.
2.  baked salmon, roasted potatoes, carrots, brussels sprouts - all baked together with a drizzle of olive oil.
3.  Quick chili made with ground beef, beans, tomatoes and seasonings, served with corn tortillas
4.  left over salmon in low fat white sauce, with peas and a tomato broccoli salad
5.  Stir fry of chicken, peppers, onions, celery, carrots, served with buckwheat noodles (soba)
6.  Left over chili with a salad
7.  vegetarian meal of baked potato with greek yogurt, roasted carrots and peppers, bean salad, and corn on the cob picked up from a roadside stand that day.

Snacks - raw or left over steamed vegetables, fruit, yogurt, ricotta cheese, cold cereal - my choice.
