In this concise tutorial, Eric Roberts outlines a practical framework for grocery shopping aimed at supporting fat loss. He recommends selecting 4–6 protein options—splitting them between 2–3 items that require cooking (e.g., meat, eggs) and 2–3 ready‑to‑eat choices—to ensure flexibility for busy days. He then advises choosing 2–4 low‑calorie fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, watermelon, or blueberries. For vegetables, he suggests picking 1–3 sources, noting that fresh, frozen, or pre‑made varieties are all acceptable. Next, he recommends 2–4 carbohydrate sources, highlighting starchy options like rice, sweet potatoes, or even Rice Krispies. Finally, he covers treat options, encouraging protein‑based snacks (protein cookies, shakes, Greek yogurt with fruit) or, if desired, regular treats bought in smaller portion sizes to avoid excess availability at home.

Here's how to grocery shop if you're trying to lose fat. First, you're going to pick 4 to 6 protein options. If I were you, I would pick 2 to 3 that you're going to have to cook, like meat or eggs. And then I would pick 2 to 3 you don't have to cook. So when you're busy or strapped for time, you can still have protein sources. Next, you're going to pick 2 to 4 fruits, usually lower calorie ones like raspberries, strawberries, watermelon, blueberries will work. Next, you're going to pick 1 to 3 vegetable sources. You can get fresh ones, but if you have to get like frozen ones or pre-made ones, that's okay as well. Next, you're gonna pick 2 to 4 carbohydrate sources. Some of the starchier ones like rice, sweet potatoes, Rice Krispies. And then when you want some treats, you can get foods like protein cookies or protein shakes or even like Greek yogurt with some fruit. Or if you're like, fuck that, I want the real thing, it's fine too, but you just gotta buy it in the smaller portion sizes so it's not just sitting around your house.
