-The produce area and the meat department are good.
-Anything without a label (fruits, veggies) are usually safe
-Try to limit caffine severely. If you can cut it out entirely, good.
-Things that have to advertise things like "Good source of____!" usually aren't much better than anything else. If it's good for you, they shouldn't need to tell you that.
-Try to get more protein. My simple trick is to look at the contents label and try to have more protein than carbs and sugar.
- IE: Something has 12g of carbs and 11g of sugar; therefore I want at least 13g of protein to balance it out.
Here's some things I buy regularly. I have so far lost 15lbs without even trying and my body seems to becoming happier:
-tuna
-Hormel no bean chili
-Italian sausage (One sausage keeps me full at work for up to 3 hours while I run around)
-Almonds
-Celery
-Peanut Butter
-Whole Grain Bread
-Tillamook sliced cheese (look at the label; many of the Kraft cheeses have tons of carbs but hardly any protein. Tillamook has lots of protein and way less carbs)
-Lunchmeat
-Carrots
-Lettuce
-Potatoes
And so on.
