Grocery Shopping On A Diet

(BlackDoctor.org) — Love it or hate it, shopping for groceries is unavoidable. The perks—for anyone who likes to eat—are obvious. But shopping can be maddening: be it the confusing labels or the shifts in nutrition news. We’re all trying to shop healthier, in ways that slim us. That’s why we’ve created this guide—just in time for your next trip to the store.

Staying slim starts at the grocery store. Here’s how to make it easy.

Meat and fish

Shoot for 95 percent lean or higher. If it’s only 90 percent lean, a 100-gram (about 3.5-ounce) portion of meat would still have 10 grams of fat per serving—not exactly low-fat. When buying poultry, choose breast (whole or ground) only.

Splurge on shrimp. This high-protein, low-fat, low-calorie option feels decadent, so pick up a shrimp cocktail ring.
