Figured this could be a fun and actually useful thread - a spot to share what ends up in your trolley each week.
Everyone's diet is a bit different (cutting, bulking, lazy-maintenance-mode), but seeing what other people buy can be gold for new ideas. The goal: build the ultimate shopping list that covers quality, convenience, and a bit of variety - not just chicken, rice, and regret.
I'll start with mine:
Protein: chicken, sausages, lean mince, turkey, eggs, canned tuna, salmon, Greek yoghurt.
Carbs: rice, oats, potatoes, wraps, couscous, sourdough bread.
Fats: olive oil (real EVOO), avocado, peanut butter, mixed nuts.
Veg: spinach, broccoli or broccollini, frozen mixed veg, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicum.
Extras: cottage cheese, frozen berries, coffee (non-negotiable haha), dark chocolate square or two for sanity.
I try to keep it simple - mostly whole foods, a few quick options for busy days, and Aussie-grown stuff where possible(I live in Aus). My rule of thumb: if it helps me hit macros without tasting like cardboard, it earns a spot on the list. We get our veggies and fruit from a farmers market and the rest from the shops.
Keen to see what everyone else's staples are - especially budget hacks, quick meals, or brands you swear by. Bonus points for "underrated" items people might not think of.
Let's build the community's go-to list together - whether you're chasing PRs or just trying not to live off protein bars and instant noodles.
