Weekly Grocery Haul | For Fat Loss and Muscle Gain

Today I’m breaking down my weekly grocery haul – everything I buy to keep calories low while hitting my protein and fiber goals.

I’ll cover the foods I eat every day, the ones I keep in for flexibility, and the healthy fats that round out my diet.

I follow a flexible dieting approach: about 80% of what I eat comes from single-ingredient whole foods, and the other 20% are foods I enjoy or that help me hit my macros – whether that’s dinner out, fiber-enriched candy, or high-protein ice cream.

This is the same structure I’ve used to help thousands of clients get lean and strong and the same approach I used this summer to lose over 30 pounds.

Here’s the full grocery list:

🔘 Dairy: eggs, nonfat cottage cheese, lowfat Greek yogurt, fat-free milk
🔘 Seafood: fresh salmon, tinned sardines
🔘 Poultry: chicken thighs, chicken breast, @PerdueChicken lightly breaded chicken chunks, @Wegmans pre-cooked chicken
🔘 Fruit: raspberries, blueberries, apples
🔘 Vegetables: spinach, broccoli, microwavable potatoes, @StrongRoots Proper Fries, shredded hash browns, canned black beans
🔘 Healthy Fats: extra virgin olive oil, avocado, nut butter
🔘 Pantry: @SchmidtOldType 647 bread, @Hero rolls, @MissionFoodsUS Carb Balance wraps, @LegendaryFoods chips, @EatShameless Snacks
🔘 Desserts: @SkinnyCowUS, @Tasty_Profeel Pudding, @EatSweetGains ice cream
