Hey /fit/

I know you get this question often but I was wondering if you could recommend any particular foods for weight loss (along side exercise, obviously).

I'm going to do my big shop tomorrow and I'm hoping to get myself back into a healthy eating/working out 5 times a week schedule again, after a slack couple of weeks.

I know to get the usual fruits but are there any particular fruits that are better than others?

Also, any meal recommendations would be great.

Thanks /fit/

Tuna and chicken are good. You want OATZ, obviously. Don't bother buying drinks, water is free. If you must buy bread, make sure it's not white. Broccolli is a good vegetable, pineapple is a good fruit.

Foods, providing they dont cause you to shit out pure body fat, dont help you lose weight. Eat less Do more.

Okay thanks. I'm already eating chicken/tuna. What type of bread would you recommend? And what about pasta/rice?

I make sure I drink water too. There's no point in buying something full of sugar when I could drink something much healthier for free.

Yes but I'm quite sure that I can't work out five times a week and not eat anything. Currently, I don't have anything in my house and because I live on my own and not with parents, my cupboards don't just magically refill themselves.

I appreciate the advice but if you could make it slightly more helpful by reading properly, that'd be smashing.

Perhaps my original post was a bit misleading though, sorry if it was. I'm not a massive fatass with no idea about health/exercise "omg I want to get skinny what food can i eat" etc, I'm just looking to lose a bit of weight and wondered if /fit/ could suggest any foods to grab when I'm at the supermarket.

After all, brown bread/wholemeal bread will be better for me than white and bananas are better than a...muffin. Or whatever.

Get some bags of spinach and some low-cal dressing, and go to town. Spinach is so good for you, and you can eat a shitload of it. Just be mindful of the dressing. I used to eat spinach salads like crazy when I first started losing weight, and shit just melted away.

Also consider: whole grain bread, lean meats, unsalted almonds, eggs, OATZ, every fucking vegetable (dude baby carrots), peanut butter and natural jam, brown rice, fish

You need to eat to keep up your metabolism and have energy to work out.

If you want bread, make it rye with little to no sugar in it

this is good advice.
also, cooked spinached doesn't need dressing. mix with garlic, onions, mushrooms and whatever spices you like. a little butter helps.
if you like indian food, try saag paneer (trans. spinach with cheese). you can make it at home really easily just sub parmesan or romano cheese for the paneer.

go to the grocery store and note what vegetables/fruits costs waaay less than $1. Example 1lb grapes = $3. 1 lb bananas = 70ยข.

Green onions, cabbage, parseley are all cheap. Look for what you can buy for about $1 but gets you more than you yourself can eat. You probably can't eat 1 whole head of cabbage in one sitting. This will force you to pick and choose but you'll save money.

O.P.
What you need to do is find out your fat, protein, and carbohydrate percentages. You can do this by calculating how many calories you need per day with BMR calculations (http://weightloss.about.com/od/eatsmart/a/blcalintake.htm)
After you do that, minus that number by 500 and that's your daily calories for fat loss. Now you do your percentages.
Once you have that, look for foods that are rich in fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. You can do this on http://www.mydailyplate.com

The next post is my daily eating (it's for fat loss).

It also wouldn't hurt to figure out your monthly income and how much you can spend on food. All of this cost me $175 a month, which for my income isn't bad at all.

Also, you can save money buy making your own shit. Here's an example of stuff I make myself rather than buying it:
1. Sprouts
2. Whole Grain bread
3. Hummus

There's so many more things that you can make yourself and save money on. Use your imagination. I hope that this has been helpful.
