    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.

    It's easier to list unclean foods: fast food, typical desserts, processed meat, things high in vegetable oil, shitty quality cheese, stuff that comes in a box, frozen dinners... Anyone else got ideas?

    Tilapia
    Tuna
    Brown rice
    Bagels
    Chicken
    Lean ground beef

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

    Definitely. Don't go overboard on the wheat though IMO.

    Buckwheat noodles are pretty good, more proteinz

    I also like potatoes, they seem to never turn to fat unless fried for me.

    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.
