Healthy Grocery List for Fitness Freaks – 2025 Edition
“Neha, you have done gym, now what to eat?”
I said after opening the fridge door, in which there was only half a potato and yesterday’s leftover rice.
“This is the condition of eating and you are dreaming of getting fit?”
Neha said while rolling her eyes –
“Hey bhai, abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym!”
Making a Grocery List – Workout is the First Thing You Can Do
In 2025, workout alone will not work, friends,
"Whatever is in the bag will be seen in the body."
Whether you are losing weight, planning to gain muscle, or just have a new resolution for clean eating –
A correct grocery list prepares the blueprint of your body.
Neha's new funda –
"Until the kitchen is fit, Ankit is not fit!"
One day, after coming back from the gym, I said –
"Today I did a full workout of my legs!"
Neha said –
"And what did you eat for dinner? 2 minute Maggie?"
Then that was the day when I decided –
I will have to make a Healthy Grocery List, otherwise this stomach will never be flat.

Don’t shop hungry – otherwise you will hide something in every aisle and eat dal
Read labels – especially in USA, sugar is hidden in every thing
Take it in bulk – oats, lentils, nuts are available in bulk cheap in USA
Avoid processed items – the cleaner, the leaner
