Money Spent: $90.96 (Budget $75-$100) This is how much we spent total on groceries, including for my son and 6 cartons of Almond Milk and 3 packs of All Natural Nitrite Free Turkey Dogs which were 3/$5 which is an amazing deal because they are normally $4 a piece. Also, my husband joined in my lifestyle change starting on Day 2 and I think he's lost 5lbs already.
Calories: I averaged 300-500 calories a day less than my goal . I know that's low, but seriously... I ate so much food. I was never hungry. I was low on calories, but I made sure I was hitting the mark with Protein, Fiber, Iron and other Vitamins and staying under or close on Fat, Carbs and Sugar. All the Fat, Carbs and Sugar I was eating was GOOD for me, too. What matters is being healthy, it's not how much you do or don't eat.
How many calories a day should you shoot for? Good question! Here's a calculator that will tell you after just a few simple questions.
And how much protein do you need? Here's a calculator for that, too.
I think I may have overstocked myself for week 2... I've already spent $69.45. Here's how it breaks down:
$13.45 at Safeway for about 6.5lbs of chicken.
$11.56 with OlympiaLocalFoods.com
I found an awesome little produce stand and got all this for $7.12
And here's everything I got from my CSA share for $24.25 (Plus 3 doz Free Range Eggs for $8.50)
And $5.48 at Safeway.
Whew that's a lot of fresh food! My fridge is FULL!
