The perimeter of the supermarket is not the best or only place to find healthy foods. In fact, if you only shopped the perimeter, you’d have a pretty mundane diet. Think about it. You wouldn’t be able to enjoy items that fit your lifestyle or budget, such as:
Macaroni and Cheese
Mix these dry mixes with milk and you’ve provided calcium, protein and vitamin D, even if they are white/refined macaroni. (Half whole grains daily is the goal.) Customize and create one-dish meals by adding, for example, peas and ham, diced chicken and frozen broccoli, or canned pinto and black beans.
