Grocery Store Tour Revealed On Video

ive seen this before, but i always go with a mental list at the grocery

Yes i already know this vid, somehow Vinces face looks like 3 years ago, i dont know why , but refering to 3:26, i also seen 5 EGGS in the meal plan, and if im not mistaken 5 eggs is about 800 calories themselves, whithout the others, so is this a misprint?

Vince

Perhaps in the next segments either John/Patrick can explain about the calories in the plan. In many posts on your other forum people have picked the meal plan apart calorie counting and wonder as Phil does – Hey, my meal plan is 2000 cal but when I add everything up it’s a billion calories! Well, I exaggerate some but you get the point.

Also, a grocery list is handy to stay on track. Sure I could go to the grocery store with my list memorized, however, I treat this just like my workouts.
I have the list of exercises to do. I’ve done them so many times I probably don’t need the list.

However, I find the list keeps me focused and on track. No wandering. No being side tracked. O.K. that’s me and may be a I’m a little obsessed yet it works for me!

Hey Phil, one egg is about 80 calories, so about 400 total for 5 eggs.

Nice video Vince, drive safe!

Craig

The video doesn’t work for me but I try to use unprocessed items like produce as much as possible.

@craig ballantyne – how so craig? i mean one whole egg! I have a caloric index that says a whole egg is almost 300 calories

@Phil –

Phil, According to the United States Department Of Agriculture Food Database:

1 Large Egg has approximately 72 kilocalories (which is approximately = 300 Kilojoules) …these are just different units of energy measurement and might be where you are getting your 300 number from.

1 kilocalorie = 4.184 kilojoules

The types of “calories” we are all referring to are technically called kilocalories.

So Craig is also correct with his estimation about the number of calories per egg.

Anyway, this is nothing we need to worry about.

John

@Phil – Whole egg 300 calories? I thought it was like 70 to 90 depending on the size. Maybe is an Ostrich egg.

Sorry , but what did you say in the egg whites convertion?16 egg whites gonna be 2 ____ of egg whites..sorry but i missed that part in.

Phil, eggs have about 70cal per bro….where are you getting 800 cals?

Enough about the eggs…I don’t do dairy because of migraines. With what do you suggest I replace the dairy! Shopping around the perimeter is fantastic. I cut down on time and cash!

Vince –

the FIRST thing I need to do is rip the “middle aisles” out of my own cupboards at home. As you say – what’s in the kitchen gets eaten. Once I purge all the crap from my kitchen, I’ll immediately start “perimeter shopping” at the grocery store.

Rob

i think 80 calories, Craig, its a surprise to see you here on Vince’s! that grocery is pretty small, the one in my city is 2 times larger!
but hey Vince, i dont really understand the conversions, i dont have a scale for the food, thouse are expensive and im really on a big bugget, how should i understand the quantities? Craig, Jon anyonne?

Hey,

How important is natural peanut butter?
i mean can i just use normal peanut butter, the one i use has about 3gms suger every 2 tbsp.

Let me know.

Nice Rob. Thanks for answering the question I originally posted and focusing on your next positive course of action and focusing on what you CAN control.

I’m going to start watching out for those many ingredient foods that you pointed out, and watching out for the middle aisle foods. Oh and seriously Vince, grocery shopping isn’t that frightening! It’s actually really enjoyable (until you reach checkout).

Oh and isn’t bread something with many ingredients?

Yeah, I agree with the perimeter-shopping philosophy, grocery stores here in Sweden are organized the same way. And usually, in the aisles, it’s more of a clutter with all the colored boxes that you can’t really find what you’re looking for anyway.

Also, take the time to gaze at the ingredient-list on any “light” products that you put in the cart, usually they are packed with other stuff to keep it looking like the normal mayonaise/sourcream/cottage cheese/etc

By the way, Vince, do you think you can include a little “track listing” in connection with your videos (just underneath the video-box in plain text)? I find some of the music very motivating and suitable for “workout music” that I’d like to get for my iPod.

What i’m really curious about is how much did it cost ?

hey vince

real educational vid. keep them coming bro! how’s prep for the show?

There you go Vince! I like the part about shopping on the outer regions of the store, very valid point! These are the types of videos people need to see! Now, can you also go to a whole foods store and talk about the difference of organic vs. non-organic produce?

Thanks Vince!

I’m glad you put the ‘take-home’ tip with this video. I REALLY wish you would take the time to actually write up the points in each video so we don’t spend our time with filler and fluff. You could still make the videos for people who want to spend time in their day watching some kind of screen thing, but for the rest of us whose bodies are not our businesses, the info would be there in a much more compact form.
Anyway, the ‘perimeter’ tip is one I’ve heard elsewhere, the other way around. The processed stuff in the middle is generally less expensive per unit than fresh-baked goods or locally-produced anything. Seems to me a bit of balance is needed–canned pineapple (no sugar added), plain Triscuits, oatmeal, molasses, etc, good stuff from the aisles! Potato salad, white bread or pastries, yogurt drinks–nasties from the perimeter! That said, I fully support local producers whenever I can. Buying local fruit in season is healthy and inexpensive!

Stuff that contain lots of ingredients mix up into a cocktail effect that halts your fat loss and stays there for a while. Right?

@Phil –

@Phil – 5 eggs does not equal 800 calories, assuming there are no additives (poached or hard boiled are probably the best options). Eggs contain approximately 75 calories per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_(food)

Therefore, 5 eggs would be approximately 375 calories.

@jen – You’re getting a great deal of practical information for free, quit your whining.

Great vid Vince, the bulk of my items do come from the outer isles which include fruit, veg, meat, eggs nuts and dairy.
Whole grains (oats, lentils etc) olive oil, natural peanut butter, packet tuna and spices come from the inner isles BUT you will notice all of these items follow the second principle – they have a very short ingredients list.

Vince, which meal plan are you on? I’m doing the 3000 healthy one, and my grocery costs about $120/week. I’m in Toronto and usually shop at No Frills and Food Basics…

Hi everyone! some other ideas for keeping food costs down while getting good healthy stuff. Neighborhood food co-ops, farmers markets (especially when they’re about to close for business) neighbor-to-neighbor fresh-from-the-garden swapping, heck even growing your own produce can be cheaper than buying food from a store. Also one particular usually inner-store aisle to find healthy, low-processed, few-ingredients food is the rice, bean, flour, foreign/Mexican/Asian aisle. Sometimes you can find these low-processed, few-ingredients mixed in with other inner aisle items – in this manner I’m considering nut and peanut butters, all fruit spreads, whole-wheat and other whole grain cereals (such as shredded wheat and wheatabix) and flours for example. Just some ideas and suggestions… Oh also, if time in preparation is sometimes an issue, sometimes from the deli at closing time or other “bargain times” that a store has, one can, for example, buy whole rotisserie chickens for a mere fraction of their usual sale price. (I’m speaking from personal experience of this at one of my usual store stops.)

I can’t open any of the video’s (

The video does not play I noticed it with the previous articles as well. HELP!!
