When you start tracking macros or planning healthier meals, you likely find that you buy the same staples every week. Stock up on your grains, cereals, dry herbs, spices, seasonings, fats (oil, butter), frozen and canned vegetables, fruits and even meat products like burgers, tuna and shrimp! These items can be a lot cheaper at Costco when compared to traditional grocery stores.

But we get it, Costco can be really overwhelming. That’s why we’re doing the hard work for you and sharing our favorite macro-friendly Costco foods. We’re even breaking them down by macro and occasion for you so grab a pen and get your shopping list ready!
