My Top 5 Grocery Shopping Tips/Ideas

Your muscle building grocery shopping has 3 simple goals:

1. Buy the best, fresh muscle building foods
2. Avoid the bad, fattening foods and
3. Save time & money

Here are my 5 tips to do that:

1. Shop the Perimeter:

The healthiest walk you can take is the walk around the perimeter of your grocery store. The centre is filled with sugar filled snacks, processed foods and high calorie, low nutrient foods. Don't believe me, just visit a store and check of yourself.

The perimeter is filled with fresh fruits, vegetables and meats - exactly what you need to build muscle mass.

2. Is there a local farmer's market around?

Local markets provide fresh produce - meats, vegetables and fruits, especially fish and they sell at reasonable prices.

Strike a relationship with the local farmer and you can be sure to get fresh stuff every time.

3. Use less plastic to avoid Man boobs

Get your own tupperware to the store. avoid the estrogenic plastic containers that are slowly building man boobs all over the world.

4. Stick to your list

You made a list for a reason. Your list has all the muscle building foods listed. Stick to it.

5. Check for any discount or special offers

Keep on eye on discount coupons in local newspapers or posters.

Your Weekly Muscle Building Grocery List - Sample List

Your goal is to shop for your 3 macronutrients - proteins, carbs and fats.

Also one note: Muscle Building is a tad more expensive than regular eating. Buy in bulk to save money and time. But its worth it. 

Also the meal plans I suggest are perfect for building a high performing body that is as good as it looks.

Here is the printable pdf version.

Protein Shopping:

• Extra Lean Ground Beef, 1 lb
• Chicken breasts, 2-3 lbs
• Omega-3 Eggs, 3 dozen

• Wild fish, 1 lb
• Cottage Cheese, 1 pack
• Egg whites, 3 containers

A word on proteins: Rotate your protein sources every week or two. This prevents protein allergies that crop up with regular use of proteins from same sources. It prevents boredom too.
