Nutritionist’s Trader Joe’s Haul for Fat Loss (High Protein, Low Calorie)

I just got back from Trader Joe’s with a full grocery haul for my family. As a fitness coach who’s helped thousands of real people get in the best shape of their lives, I built this haul around single-ingredient, protein-forward foods that actually work for busy families.

My goal every time I shop:
✅ High protein
✅ High fiber
✅ Low calories
✅ Low saturated fat
✅ More monounsaturated fats
✅ More omega-3s

Here are my favorite picks from Trader Joe’s:

🥩 PROTEINS

Pasture-Raised Eggs
