These types of foods include lean meats, healthy fats, nuts and seeds, starchy fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and plant based proteins like tofu and tempeh (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/nutrition-and-healthy-eating\/in-depth\/what-does-it-mean-to-eat-clean\/art-20270125\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processing food often entails removing nutrients to prolong shelf life or alter the food chemically to boost taste or appearance (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/proceedings-of-the-nutrition-society\/article\/food-processing-criteria-for-dietary-guidance-and-public-health\/C6929E44E055B8805FDFA1289E8BA95C\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This processing usually reduces the amount of fiber present in the food as well as other nutrients, making it less nutritious than its natural counterpart would be. For instance, white flour has few health benefits compared to wholemeal flour because the latter still has the husk and bran attached.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people turn to clean eating when they want to lose weight, manage a health condition such as diabetes or improve energy levels. In all of these cases, cutting out highly processed foods is an effective way to successfully meet their goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=7-Day_Clean_Eating_Meal_Plan_And_Grocery_List\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29384 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/3-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"7-day clean eating\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/3-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/3-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/3-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/3-2-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/3-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Foods_Should_Be_In_Your_Healthy_Grocery_List\"><\/span><b>What Foods Should Be In Your Healthy Grocery List?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/7-day-body-cleansing\/\">clean<\/a>&#8221; foods are not only minimally processed, but also high in important nutrients.

Grain-fed cows eat a diet supplemented with soy and corn and other additives. Grain-fed cows can also be given antibiotics and growth hormones to fatten them up more quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grass-fed beef is considered by some to be a healthier option than grain-fed beef. It has less total fat and therefore fewer calories. The nutritional content of that fat is also different (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fsufs.2020.555426\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). For example, grass-fed beef has as much as five times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as regular grain-fed beef. In addition to being packed with B vitamins, grass-fed beef is higher in vitamins A, E, and other antioxidants compared to grain-fed beef.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other grass-fed meats to consider while shopping include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bison<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elk<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venison<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antelope<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lamb<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=7-Day_Clean_Eating_Meal_Plan_And_Grocery_List\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29391 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"7-day clean eating\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-2.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-2-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3-2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sustainably-Caught_Or_Farmed_Seafood\"><\/span><b>Sustainably-Caught Or Farmed Seafood<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsustainable fishing practices are worrying because they have a big impact on the food chain. These types of fishing practices are also increasing in popularity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sustainably-caught or farmed seafood is best because it doesn&#8217;t deplete ocean populations and can be easily identified by where it&#8217;s from.

Going through your weekly grocery list and picking out real, whole foods helps you prepare for life&#8217;s little curveballs, like last-minute dinner invitations or impromptu business lunches. When you eat clean consistently, time after time, it becomes easier to eat healthy overall because you&#8217;re not relying on processed foods &#8211; which means fewer empty calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By including the listed foods in your grocery shopping list, you can reap the benefits of eating clean while still enjoying delicious meals every day!<\/span><\/p>\n\n    <section class=\"ad-single-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-title-wrapper\">\n            <h3 class=\"ad-single-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_personalized\"><\/span>Get your personalized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n            <span class=\"ad-single-sub-title color-green\">\n                <svg class=\"icon-sparkle\" width=\"36\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 36 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                          d=\"M34.6837 0.515943C34.8247 0.835947 34.9421 1.16291 34.9891 1.48987C35.1417 2.64466 35.3179 6.51949 35.2592 7.29863C35.2592 7.53515 35.1887 7.7995 35.0243 8.01516C34.7307 8.39777 33.9791 8.4256 33.5681 8.07081C33.4154 7.94559 33.3215 7.77863 33.2745 7.61863C33.1453 7.15254 33.0396 6.68645 32.9809 6.22035C32.8165 4.81512 32.6638 3.40293 32.5581 1.9977C32.5229 1.53161 32.6051 1.05856 32.6991 0.592466C32.7695 0.244637 33.251 -0.0197144 33.6973 0.00115537C34.2257 0.0289818 34.5546 0.230723 34.6837 0.515943ZM18.6184 9.78225C18.5734 9.67557 18.5344 9.57528 18.4971 9.47956C18.4178 9.27568 18.3465 9.09257 18.2426 8.91267C16.7159 6.24133 14.2615 3.86217 11.4665 1.60128C11.1377 1.33693 10.7267 1.08649 10.2687 0.919531C10.0221 0.829095 9.52885 0.843009 9.247 0.933445C9.03562 1.00301 8.88295 1.27432 8.92992 1.42736C9.01213 1.71954 9.18828 2.01868 9.4349 2.28303C11.0555 4.02913 12.6879 5.76829 14.3437 7.50048C14.8308 8.0068 15.3395 8.50887 15.8473 9.01L15.8473 9.01001C15.9883 9.14921 16.1293 9.28833 16.2697 9.42746C16.4811 9.64311 16.7159 9.85181 16.9626 10.0466C17.2327 10.2692 17.6437 10.4014 18.0547 10.2553C18.0691 10.2501 18.0836 10.245 18.0981 10.2399C18.1097 10.2358 18.1213 10.2318 18.1329 10.2278C18.3785 10.1424 18.6184 10.0589 18.6184 9.78225ZM1.98942 20.1407C2.17783 20.1221 2.37674 20.105 2.58175 20.0875C2.99012 20.0525 3.42272 20.0154 3.84492 19.9598C6.34632 19.6259 8.84771 19.292 11.3374 18.9442C11.8776 18.8676 12.406 18.7355 12.8875 18.5824C13.5334 18.3807 13.7566 18.0954 13.6509 17.7824C13.5452 17.4694 13.1224 17.2746 12.3826 17.2676C11.8776 17.2607 11.3374 17.2676 10.8559 17.3372C7.69683 17.8102 4.5378 18.2972 1.3905 18.7911C1.03819 18.8468 0.674137 18.9442 0.404034 19.0833C-0.2771 19.4242 -0.065712 19.9598 0.803314 20.092C1.01858 20.1228 1.25262 20.1258 1.51135 20.1291C1.66195 20.131 1.82092 20.133 1.98942 20.1407Z\"\n                          fill=\"#17B991\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n               meal plan!\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-desc-wrapper\">\n            <p class=\"ad-single-desc\">What's your main health goal?<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=7-Day_Clean_Eating_Meal_Plan_And_Grocery_List\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Lose weight<\/a>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=7-Day_Clean_Eating_Meal_Plan_And_Grocery_List\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Feel great<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <img class=\"ad-single-img\" alt=\"health-food\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/health-food.webp\">\n    <\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"BetterMe app\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a_J4nIpoGmc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DISCLAIMER\"><\/span><b>DISCLAIMER:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address individual circumstances.
