Let’s Build the Ultimate Gym Bro Shopping List 🛒 (Share Yours!)

Figured this could be a fun and actually useful thread — a spot to share what ends up in your trolley each week.


Everyone’s diet is a bit different (cutting, bulking, lazy-maintenance-mode), but seeing what other people buy can be gold for new ideas. The goal: build the ultimate shopping list that covers quality, convenience, and a bit of variety — not just chicken, rice, and regret.


I’ll start with mine:
Protein: chicken, sausages, lean mince, turkey, eggs, canned tuna, salmon, Greek yoghurt, WPI.
Carbs: rice, oats, potatoes, wraps, couscous, sourdough bread.
Fats: olive oil (real Aussie EVOO 😅), avocado, peanut butter, mixed nuts.
Veg: spinach, broccoli or broccollini, frozen mixed veg, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicum.
Extras: cottage cheese, frozen berries, coffee (non-negotiable), dark chocolate square or two for sanity.


I try to keep it simple — mostly whole foods, a few quick options for busy days, and Aussie-grown stuff where possible. My rule of thumb: if it helps me hit macros without tasting like cardboard, it earns a spot on the list. We get our veggies and fruit from a farmers market and the rest from Woolies.


Keen to see what everyone else’s staples are — especially budget hacks, quick meals, or brands you swear by. Bonus points for “underrated” items people might not think of.


Let’s build the community’s go-to list together — whether you’re chasing PRs or just trying not to live off protein bars and instant noodles.

Yeah, protein powder and GY is a great combo. I also just do a protein sludge at times and add some GY on top and some fruit too.
 
Simple but delicious is Tagine... Beef mince with cracked Eggs on top. Easy ingredients and so quick to make ;)
