Buying "Clean" foods and budgeting
Hello all, I need some advice when it comes to starting a clean foods diet. What counts as a "Clean" food? I've been told lean meats, oatmeal and nuts are, but what else is there? I help manage and cook at our family diner and its hard to eat healthy when surrounded by all the bad but delicious foods there. :) I have my workout scheduel figured out, its just the diet that's holding me back...I mean...all I hear is this back and forth of you have to be strict with your diet/you'll be fine don't worry about it, so long as your not eating fast food all the time stuff, and to be honest all its doing is confusing me.

Tilapia
Tuna
Brown rice

Lean ground beef
Buy the above in quantity and it is cheap and very clean.

I consider veggies to be a stable, as most produce is fairly cheap, especially fresh. I was moreso trying to list out the size adding food that is cheap and overlooked. Tilapia especially, frozen can be pretty damn cheap, stock up on sale. I can't tell you how much of it I go through, easy to cook, tastes good, high protein, lower fat, what more could you ask for?
So I agree very much good call.
