<p>I am trying to gather information on the Paleo diet and recently purchased the Paleo Solution book. While, I have gained a lot of great information from this book I am finding my largest problem to be that I don't always have the time to create the meals in the book. I have a full time job and attend graduate school at night time. I am looking for a grocery list that has some "on the go" Paleo foods. I need some snack and meal ideas that I can buy prepackaged or package myself. Any ideas? Also does anyone have a good Paleo grocery list?</p> <p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>You're gonna have an extremely hard time finding paleo-approved packaged snacks, let alone healthy packaged snacks. </p> <p>Jerky/pemmican is a good one. Throw some leftover meat + salad greens + butter/coconut oil into a tupperware and you've got a filling meal. </p> <p>Trader Joe's, Costco and Whole Foods all have roasted seaweed snacks, which are a good alternative to chips and provide Iodine, which can be difficult to get in your diet in good amounts. </p> <p>If you have the money, you can invest in a dehydrator and make dehydrated veggies or meats to nibble on in between meals.</p> <p>A blender is one of the most important kitchen tools imo. Just throw some veggies, eggs, and mushroom in there, blend it and put it into tupperware/thermos and simply microwave it. </p>

<p>I don't trust anything that is pre packaged and comes in a box or is meant for on the go. You could maybe make your own beef jerky which would be a nice on the go snack. </p> <p>My advice is to make a big dinner with plenty of leftovers. I use the leftovers for lunch the next day and perhaps another dinner.</p> <p>The paleo cookbooks have nice meals, but I make simple meals. Maybe I should venture and try more complicated dishes.</p> <p>Fatty cuts of meat, steamed veggies soaked in butter, maybe a potato, etc. That's typical. Breakfast, if I have time to make it, involves bacon and eggs.</p> <p>Also, I would invest in a slow cooker. Throw in a roast and some veggies. Turn it on low before work and when you get home, you'll have enough for 3 meals or more. A slow cooker is also great to make bone broths.</p>

<p>I get pre-cut and ready to cook veggies and easily cooked meats for busy days. Most grocery stores have prepped veggies. I throw a turkey cutlet, boneless pork chop, steak etc into my frying pan and cook it and then throw the veggies in to steam in the juice. Quick and simple and I control the additives. </p> <p>For snacks I go with fruit and nuts. I also like kale chips and seaweed. </p>

<p>The slow cooker is the best friend of the busy person. It does take a little more planning, but I almost always repurpose dinner for lunch the next day. I pack lunch as I'm cleaning up the kitchen from dinner. I follow the Leangains IF approach which means I'm only concentrating on two meals which has helped tremendously with planning. I typically drink BFC in the mornings as well.</p> <p>Matt<br> <a href="http://physiquerescue.com" rel="nofollow">PhysiqueRescue.com</a></p>

<p>You could make larger portions at dinner time and take the left overs for lunch the next day. I also like Boiled Eggs, microwaved Sweet Potato and Beef Jerky. Fruit and Nuts could be a good option too.</p>

<p>Hi Kaitlin, I'd recommend spending time on this site, doing searches etc. You'll get the hang of quick, easy meal ideas in no time. I am too lazy/busy to follow recipes. Dinner is often just a steak and a pile of sauerkraut, or a burger wrapped in romaine leaves and some root veggie chips. Lunch is a salad with some bacon, avocado, chicken or fish in it. Snacks - banana with almond butter. Easy peasy. And welcome! </p>

<p>All foods in the produce section (including nuts) can be considered "on the go" paleo snacks. It can be THAT easy. In order to make a meal of them, just add more.</p>

<p>I had the same exact experience! I strongly suggest Melissa Joulwan's <em>Well Fed, Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat</em>. The whole first couple of chapters walk you through how to make really fast, easy, and <em>tasty</em> Paleo meals.</p> <p>The basic idea is to do a one-hour cook-up on the weekend: hamburger, chicken thighs, or other meat; a few varieties of veggies that you chop up and steam to sort of half-cooked. Then you just mix and match in a pan with some coconut oil and spices.</p> <p>But I really recommend getting the book. She gives you a good idea of how much and what to buy on your weekly grocery trip and she has fantastic ideas about herbs and spices in combination.</p> <p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I know this sounds crazy but I have kids and wanted them to eat healthy lunches at school so I googled paleo school lunches, at Everyday Paleo <a href="http://everydaypaleo.com/2012/04/03/school-lunch-ideas/I" rel="nofollow">http://everydaypaleo.com/2012/04/03/school-lunch-ideas/I</a> found some great ideas with good variety that look quick and easy. At first I think I was trying to make things complicated and once I seen those ideas my own ideas started to go wild. Good luck!</p>
