This is absolutely the most challenging part for me in doing both the p90x project and in general just maintaining a healthy weight.
I struggle with making the time, space and organization to plan what I eat, shop, unpack and then have the energy to fix the foods I want to eat.
I'm approaching week one with a combination of the portion approach and the recipe appraoch. I anticipate going through some shock to my system from upping my protein in take so much and reducing my simple sugars (i.e. bad snacks!).
I know I can do this as long as I'm organized. I searched around online for p90x shopping lists and found copies of the list of food items in the p90x Nutrition Plan book, but needed something more practical. I ended up skimming through the meal plan for week one, nutrition level 2 (2100-2400 calories for me), and simple made a list of the simple ingredients I'll want to have on hand for things like the mushroom and spinach scrambles.
Also, some of the soups sounded good so I figure if I take the time to make a batch I can freeze the rest and plan ahead that way.
So without further ado, this is my shopping list for Week 1 (many of these ingredients should last several weeks), but this is where I'm starting. I'm taking one of my accountability partners shopping with me so we'll be able to be very efficient when shopping I hope.

I always have a hard time coming up with a practical, healthy shopping list to add to what my kids and hubby will eat. This seems practical and inexpensive!
