Figured I'd make this a sticky, these are some foods that you should be considering no matter if you're on a cut or a bulk. Don't follow JUST this list, use your common sense on what to eat and what not to eat. Also, get creative in how you fix the below foods(and others), repeating the same ole same ole will burn you out eventually. Another thing, remember YOU'RE HUMAN, you WILL make mistakes and you WILL go off track from time to time, don't sweat it...move on and pick up where you left off.
Now to the list:
Chicken
Tuna
Turkey
Pork Tenderloin
Beef Jerky
Nuts - Almonds, Walnuts, Pistachios, Pecans, etc
Natty PB - Almond Butter also(if you like)
Oatmeal - Not the instant kind, the kind in the big container(steel cut if you can find it)
Veggies
Fruits
Hot Sauce
Salsa
Granola
Sirloin Steak(all steaks are protein loaded but the others are fat loaded as well, be careful with calorie content of other cuts)
EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nonfat Cottage Cheese
Nonfat Yogurt
Skim Milk
Tea's(use your head here, no 300 calorie instant sugar tea....natural is the way to go)
Brown Rice
Wheat Bread
Shrimp
Salmon
Tilapia
Flounder
Cod
Healthy Oils - Flaxseed, Olive, Canola, etc(there are more and certain ones should be used for certain things...you're on your own here)
Those are just a few things, remember it's not a "race" to a certain weight...it's the long haul. So when you're going to eat certain things, just try and reach for the "healthier" version, like ground beef for example - eat the extra lean beef instead of something like 80/20. Little changes go a long way over time. Good luck!!!:chacha: Also remember, you can get just as fat on "clean/good" food as you can on "bad" food. Don't forget things like spices to season your food, eating healthy doesn't have to taste bad!!!!
Calories in vs Calories out is what it boils down to(in simple terms) so eating "clean/good" food just means you get to eat MORE for a certain calorie level.
