A Clean Eating Grocery List nutrition411 website "Clean eating" is best defined as eating foods that are whole, unprocessed, and as close to the way they were grown as possible. Clean-eating plans limit foods and beverages with artificial ingredients, refined flours, and sugar. With over 42,000 food items available at the average grocery store today, choosing foods that fit the "clean eating" bill can be a daunting task. When shopping for whole and unprocessed foods, it is important to read food labels and look past the marketing claims. Most whole foods are located around the perimeter of the grocery store, so that is the best place to start and fill your cart. Many of the products within the grocery store aisles are processed, with extra salt, fat, sugar, and artificial ingredients added, so use this list to help weed out the whole foods from the more processed ones. Produce
Meats and fish
While deli meats are convenient for lunch, many are highly processed and contain nitrates and significant amounts of sodium, which have been linked to cancer and heart disease. The same is true for products like hot dogs, sausages, and bacon. Stick to lightly processed turkey or chicken breast or lean roast beef and choose store-roasted deli meat without additives if available. Dairy products
Breads, cereals, and grains
Fats and oils
Canned goods
Frozen food
Condiments and seasonings
