As most of you know, I used the P90X program and Nutrition Guide to get into excellent shape. However, the Nutrition Guide contained some foods that I don’t really care for, so I decided to purchase substitutes that contained the same nutritional value.
I decided to post my grocery list so that next time you go to the store, you can shop like me! I usually shop at Wal-Mart, which seems to be the cheapest, and get the Great Value (GV) brand (Wal-Mart generic) for most products. This is for 1 month of supplies for 2 people!

Hey, I was just wondering something. I’ve decided to start my diet and eat healthier foods, so what I did was cut out as much unnecessary fats and sweets out of anything that I eat. However, I read something on your forum earlier thats said I need a certain percantage of fats carbs and proteins in my diet accordingly to P90X, but I don’t know how I could calculate that being as I’m only 15 years old. So is it okay if I have minimal fats, and then mostly carbs and protein? If not what could I do?
You have to log what you eat into http://www.fitday.com.

@Rudy. You just log what you eat into it man. You can use http://www.myfitnesspal.com, which is a little easier.
do you only go food shopping one a month? do you freeze most of the food to keep it from going bad?
@Dom. We go shopping a couple times per month, and yeah, we will freeze some foods so that they don’t go back, like bagels.
