Editor’s note: Sign up for CNN’s Eat, But Better: Mediterranean Style. Our eight-part guide shows you a delicious expert-backed eating lifestyle that will boost your health for life.
(CNN) — Six veggies, five fruits, four proteins, three starches, two sauces and one fun thing — if that’s your grocery shopping list this week, you are probably a fan of Will Coleman, a New York City-based chef, television personality and social media content creator.
Coleman went viral on TikTok after sharing his “6 to 1” method that he says will help you “spend less time in the grocery store and keep more money in your pockets.”
“You’re also reducing your food waste, because you aren’t buying random ingredients that you don’t really need,” he added.
What is the 6 to 1 method?
Coleman originally posted about his shopping philosophy in March 2022.
“I was personally spending a lot of money on groceries, entertaining with friends and creating content,” said Coleman, a prolific recipe developer who says this method changed his life.
This weekly technique makes shopping more efficient and affordable, and allows you to add more variety, freshness and direction to your menu, according to Coleman. It also helps you keep your eye on the prize — adding what you really need to your cart — rather than getting distracted by the splashy items on supermarket endcaps (where grocers place items they want you to buy on impulse).
Here is your 6 to 1 mission, should you choose to accept it: Seek out six fresh, frozen or canned vegetables, five fresh, frozen or canned fruits, four proteins, three starches, two sauces and one little luxury per supermarket trip. No matter where you shop, this should help you incorporate more variety and spice up your pantry staples without feeling overwhelmed by all the choices — and potentially overinvesting. (Coleman has guides for how he’s put the 6 to 1 method into practice at Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s and Publix.) Keep in mind that pop-in shops for forgotten items can be exempt from this practice.
While the strategy originally came in handy for Coleman and his partner, he said that the 6 to 1 method “is for everyone.” Even folks cooking for one.
You can use this process at the farmers market, the supermarket or your favorite specialty grocer based on how much you want to invest and what you have access to. Scale up or down by grabbing more of each ingredient to accommodate your household, Coleman said.
The benefits of the 6 to 1 method
Frances Largeman-Roth, a Dobbs Ferry, New York-based dietitian, mom of three and author of “Everyday Snack Tray: Easy Ideas and Recipes for Boards That Nourish for Moments Big and Small,” tried the 6 to 1 method and reported it worked.
“There are so many benefits to including more diversity in your diet, from different types of produce to new grains, proteins and even cooking oils. Switching up what we usually buy could help us consume more nutrients,” Largeman-Roth said via email. “Plus, being flexible with shopping is what we all need to do if we want to save money.”
The dietitian and mom said she appreciated how the 6 to 1 method built in structure, yet allowed for flexibility like opting for the store brand over the name brand, or trading an inflation-impacted protein, like eggs, for a more budget-friendly alternative, such as lentils. Largeman-Roth also awarded bonus points for the emphasis on fruits and vegetables.
“We all need to be eating more of those, so I like his priorities. And you can definitely make several meals out of four proteins,” Largeman-Roth said. The starches, sauces and fun foods can help to round out the meal and keep you from feeling restricted or tempted to order takeout, she added.
How to make the 6 to 1 method work for you
This shopping style still requires some meal planning.
Regardless of your budget, nutrition goals or household size, “you can’t just roll up to the grocery store without a plan and think that 6 veggies and 4 proteins are going to get you through the week,” Largeman-Roth said.
“You have to think about whether you’re going to put your chicken breasts with asparagus, and whether you need tortillas for the ground turkey you just bought. Even a rough plan is important for coming out of the store — or putting away items from your online grocery order—with the right mix of products to create meals with.”
Peek at your pantry, refrigerator and freezer stock. Select the recipes first based on what you’re craving, Coleman recommended. Or if budget is the priority more than food waste and your mood, seek out what’s on sale, then retroactively find menu inspiration in cookbooks, on blogs or on Pinterest, he added.
Keeping those pointers in mind, Largeman-Roth ended up with:
- 6 veggies: brussels sprouts, asparagus, butternut squash, celery and two different salad kits
- 5 fruits: apples, bananas, grapes, pomelos (off the beaten path for her) and strawberries
- 4 proteins: eggs, meatballs, sliders and shrimp
- 3 starches: garlic bread, pasta and tortillas
- 2 sauces: She omitted these from her list since she has so many on hand, but noted she loves salsa and sour cream.
- 1 fun item: brownie mix
If you’re comfortable in the kitchen, Coleman said “you can use all these ingredients to make spontaneous meals; pair them with items you already have in your pantry. Try pasta, a casserole, soup.” Or butternut squash and egg breakfast tacos with a fruit salad, shrimp and brussels sprout pasta with garlic olive oil sauce and sliders with a side salad. And, of course, berry-topped brownies for dessert.
Not sure what to do with your ingredients? To help walk his fans through the aisles (and their meal prep), Coleman recently released a $10 e-book that includes three weeks of grocery lists and recipes that align with his method. (Or you can score one week for free.)
“This is designed to save you some brain power and gets you cooking and eating more at home. Eventually, I want to do a game show where we put the 6-1 method to the test with families around the world,” Coleman said.

London (CNN) — Adidas has slumped to a rare annual loss, hit by the fallout from its costly break-up with rapper Ye, falling sales in North America and a huge tax bill.
The German sportswear giant posted a net loss of €58 million ($63 million) in its core business in 2023, as revenue was hurt by lower sales of Yeezy-branded clothing and sneakers, while its tax burden shot up.
“We didn’t have a great year in 2023,” chief financial officer Harm Ohlmeyer told journalists Wednesday.
Shares in Adidas fell almost 4% in early trade, before paring most of those losses by 9.40 a.m. ET.
In October 2022, Adidas broke off its high-profile partnership with Yeezy designer Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, after he made a stringof anti-semitic remarks.
Adidas has been selling its remaining Yeezy stock, saying it will donate a “significant amount to selected organizations working to combat discrimination and hate, including racism and antisemitism.”
The 2023 tax burden, meanwhile, was higher than in the previous year but the company expects that pressure on earnings to ease in the future.
“Going forward, the company expects the tax rate to normalize again as its operating profit improves,” Adidas said in a statement.
Sales in North America — the company’s second-biggest market — declined more than 16% in 2023, partly because Adidas slashed sales to wholesalers in order to reduce their high levels of inventory. The company expects its sales in the region to fall again this year, by around 5%.
“All European brands have a difficult time in the US compared to the American brands,” company CEO Bjørn Gulden told journalists. He added that Adidas needed to invest more in sports such as baseball and basketball to build its reputation among American consumers.
Elsewhere, the company’s fortunes are looking up. Sales in China, its third-biggest market, rose more than 8% last year, soaring nearly 37% in the final three months of 2023 compared with the same period in 2022. And it expects double-digit growth in the country this year.
Globally, sales of Adidas footwear, which includes popular Samba and Gazelle sneakers, were up 4%, in contrast with a 6% fall for Adidas apparel.
On a different measure of earnings, the company recorded an operating profit of €268 million ($293 million) last year. This was still down almost 60% from 2022.

EAST HAVEN, Connecticut (WFSB) — A tow truck company owner was arrested after customers were overcharged, according to East Haven police.
Authorities said 33-year-old Melissa Rivera was charged with larceny third-degree.
The investigation began on January 5 when a driver questioned the amount they were charged by One Source Towing. The driver’s vehicle was being towed just over half a mile.
“One Source Towing, which is one of three local tow companies on the East Haven Police Department Tow rotation list, charged the motorist more than double what state statute allows,” said police.
Investigators learned that on more than 50 occasions, One Source Towing charged an “administrative fee”, a “fuel surcharge fee”, and other fees that do not fall under state set fees, police said.
“In total, it was determined that $5,804.48 in fraudulent ‘administrative fees’ were collected from customers, $296.26 in fraudulent ‘fuel surcharges’ were collected from customers and $442.41 was collected from customers in fraudulent mileage fees,” said East Haven police.
Rivera was released on a $5,000 bond and is due in court later this month.
Police said One Source Towing has been suspended from the East Haven Police Department’s tow rotation list. The suspension is pending a hearing date that has not been determined yet.

(CNN) — The presiding judge in the Georgia criminal case against Donald Trump and his allies has thrown out some of the charges against the former president and several of his co-defendants.
The partial dismissal by Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee leaves most of the sprawling racketeering indictment intact.
McAfee ruled that six charges in the 41-count indictment related to Trump and some co-defendants allegedly soliciting the violation of oath by a public officer lacked the required detail about what underlying crime the defendants were soliciting.
Prosecutors alleged that Trump and some of his co-defendants violated the law by pressuring members of the Georgia legislature to unlawfully appoint presidential electors. They also brought the charge against Trump and his ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows for the January 2021 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” the votes that would win him the state.
“The Court’s concern is less that the State has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the Defendants – in fact it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal,” McAfee wrote in Wednesday’s order.
“As written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited,” McAfee added. “They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways.”
Though he threw out the solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer charge, McAfee said that the alleged conduct that was the foundation of that charge could still be relied upon by prosecutors as part of the larger racketeering charge that is the heart of the Georgia case.
“This does not mean the entire indictment is dismissed,” he wrote.
The new ruling did not address the ethics allegations brought against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis by the defendants. McAfee has pledged to issue a ruling on that issue by the end of the week.
CNN has reached out to the district attorney’s office for comment.

(CNN) — The House voted with bipartisan, overwhelming fashion on Wednesday to pass a bill that could lead to a nationwide ban against TikTok, a major challenge to one of the world’s most popular social media apps.
The bill would prohibit TikTok from US app stores unless the social media platform — used by roughly 170 million Americans — is spun off from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. It’s not yet clear what the future of the bill will be in the Senate. The House vote was 352 to 65, with 50 Democrats and 15 Republicans voting in opposition.
Lawmakers supportive of the bill have argued TikTok poses a national security threat because the Chinese government could use its intelligence laws against ByteDance, forcing it to hand over the data of US app users.
The push to pass the bill came up against headwinds from several different political directions: former President Donald Trump, who was once a proponent of banning the platform, has since equivocated on his position, while Democrats are facing pressure from young progressives among whom TikTok remains a preferred social media platform. TikTok creators and Beijing have responded angrily to the upcoming vote, with China’s foreign ministry calling it an “act of bullying.”
TikTok has called the legislation an attack on the constitutional right to freedom of expression for its users. It launched a call-to-action campaign within the app, urging users to call representatives in Washington to oppose the bill. Multiple congressional offices have said they’ve been flooded with calls.
The bill would give ByteDance roughly five months to sell TikTok. If not divested by that time, it would be illegal for app store operators such as Apple and Google to make it available for download.
In a rare show of bipartisanship, the measure advanced unanimously out of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, and President Joe Biden has said he would sign the bill if it makes it to his desk.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday would not commit to holding a vote on the House’s TikTok bill, underscoring the uncertainty over what will happen next.
“I’ll have to consult and intend to consult with my relevant committee chairmen to see what their views would be,” he said.
Trump pushes back on potential TikTok ban
When Trump was president, he supported calls to ban the app, but heappears to have now backed away from that stance, though his rhetoric has at times sent seemingly mixed messages.
In a post on Truth Social last week, Trump expressed opposition to a ban, arguing that if TikTok were out of the picture, Facebook would benefit as he attacked Facebook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as an “Enemy of the People.”
In a Monday interview with CNBC, Trump said it was a “tough decision” whether the US should ban TikTok and continued to argue that getting rid of it would benefit Facebook, adding that he thought, “Facebook has been very bad for our country.”
Trump said he thought TikTok posed a national security threat to the US but said, “You have that problem with Facebook and lots of other companies too,” and “There are a lot of people on TikTok that love it.”
“There’s, you know, a lot of good, and there’s a lot of bad with TikTok,” Trump said.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who support the bill have argued that it is not a ban.
In recent comments to reporters, Wisconsin Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher, who chairs a House select committee on China, rejected characterizations of the bill as a TikTok ban.
“It’s not a ban,” he said. “It puts the choice squarely in the hands of TikTok to sever their relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. As long as ByteDance no longer owns the company, TikTok can continue to survive. … the basic ownership structure has to change.”
TikTok has pushed back on claims from lawmakers that the legislation would provide options for the app.
“This legislation has a predetermined outcome: a total ban of TikTok in the United States,” the company wrote in a post on X. “The government is attempting to strip 170 million Americans of their Constitutional right to free expression. This will damage millions of businesses, deny artists an audience, and destroy the livelihoods of countless creators across the country.”
TikTok’s CEO, Shou Chew, has attempted to schedule 11th-hour meetings with members of Congress. The company also sent letters to multiple House lawmakers on Monday accusing them of mischaracterizing TikTok’s call-to-action campaign, saying it is “offensive” for lawmakers to dismiss the views of constituents who have overwhelmed congressional offices with phone calls.

(CNN) — A former longtime Boeing employee who had raised serious concerns about the company’s production standards was found dead in Charleston, South Carolina, over the weekend, according to the Charleston County Coroner’s Office.
A news release from the Charleston County Coroner’s Office said John Barnett, 62, died on March 9, from “what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.” The city’s police department says detectives are investigating the case and “awaiting the formal cause of death, along with any additional findings that might shed further light on the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Barnett.”
A statement provided to CNN by his lawyers says, “John was in the midst of a deposition in his whistleblower retaliation case, which finally was nearing the end. He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. We didn’t see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it. We are all devasted [sic]. We need more information about what happened to John. The Charleston police need to investigate this fully and accurately and tell the public what they find out. No detail can be left unturned.”
His family told NPR the case was heading to trial in June, adding that Barnett was, “looking forward to having his day in court and hoped that it would force Boeing to change its culture.”
The statement from his attorneys Robert Turkewitz and Brian Knowles described Barnett as “a brave, honest man of the highest integrity. He cared dearly about his family, his friends, the Boeing company, his Boeing co-workers, and the pilots and people who flew on Boeing aircraft. We have rarely met someone with a more sincere and forthright character.”
A police incident report says officers were dispatched to conduct a welfare check at a Holiday Inn in Charleston shortly before 10:20 am on Saturday. When they arrived, responding officers found Barnett in the driver’s seat of a truck in the parking lot, with a gunshot wound to the head. He was holding a handgun. Barnett was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The police report also said there was a piece of paper found next to him that looked like a note.
The incident report noted that the hotel had received a phone call from a “Rob,” who requested the welfare check on “his coworker John Barnett,” which led hotel employees to the truck in the parking lot.
The BBC reported that Barnett was in Charleston for legal interviews and was scheduled for additional questioning on Saturday. He was found dead after failing to appear.
When reached for comment regarding Barnett’s death, Boeing issued a statement saying, “We are saddened by Mr. Barnett’s passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends.”
A statement from Charleston police indicated the department was aware the case has generated international attention, saying, “it is our priority to ensure that the investigation is not influenced by speculation but is led by facts and evidence. Given the sensitive nature of the investigation, we are unable to participate in media interviews at this time. This stance is not unique to this case but is a standard procedure we adhere to in order to preserve the integrity of active investigations.”
Barnett, a former quality manager who had worked at Boeing for decades, had “discovered clusters of metal slivers hanging over the wiring that commands the flight controls,” according to a 2019 New York Times report cited by CNN.
Barnett told the Times that if those “sharp” slivers “penetrated” the wiring, the result could be “catastrophic.”
“As a quality manager at Boeing, you’re the last line of defense before a defect makes it out to the flying public,” Barnett told the Times. “And I haven’t seen a plane out of Charleston yet that I’d put my name on saying it’s safe and airworthy.”
In a statement sent to the plant’s employees and provided to CNN at the time, Brad Zaback, a site leader at the plant and general manager of the 787 program, said the Times’ report “paints a skewed and inaccurate picture of the program and of our team (at the plant).”
Zaback, who said the Times declined an invitation to visit the plant, said “quality is the bedrock of who we are,” adding that the plant delivers “the highest quality airplanes.”

New York (CNN) — Inflation is in the hot seat heading into November’s election. But it’s not budging as fast as President Joe Biden would probably like.
The Federal Reserve is tasked with bringing to its 2% target. So how close are we? It depends what metric you’re looking at.
If you’re looking at the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, it’s nearly there. The latest reading had prices increasing at a 2.4% annual rate.
But if you’re looking at the latest Consumer Price Index data released Tuesday, prices are up 3.2% for the past 12 months ended in February.
What’s the difference between these two gauges, and what’s behind the diverging reads?
CPI only covers prices consumers pay
As its name suggests, CPI looks at only the prices consumers pay. More specifically, it looks at what the average urban consumer pays for goods and services. PCE, however, looks at prices paid by the government, nonprofit organizations and consumers from all over the country.
Because of that, researchers at the Cleveland Federal Reserve estimate that a quarter of the spending that PCE tracks isn’t captured in CPI.
One big source of variation between the two indexes is that PCE gives a lot more weight to spending on health care services. That’s because it takes into account spending that occurs on behalf of consumers by, for instance, Medicare or employer-provided health insurance companies.
Housing, housing and more housing
The housing sector carries more than four times as much weight in CPI compared to the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge. That means that if housing prices increase by even a small percentage, it could cause the overall index to jump by a significant amount. By contrast, the overall index could cool a lot if housing prices fall even slightly.
The weights for each of the 80,000 items CPI tracks are updated each year based on spending data from the prior two years from consumer expenditure surveys the Census Bureau runs on behalf of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Last month, the 4.5% annual increase in shelter prices contributed about two percentage points to the overall rise in inflation.
But, with PCE, housing has a much more limited impact on the inflation index. In January, it contributed less than a percentage point to the overall 2.4% rise in PCE-measured annual inflation.
The weighting for PCE, which changes on a month-to-month basis, is determined by data the Commerce Department collects that is designed to capture how people are spending their money and how that changes over time. But a lot of that data comes from business surveys such as the Census Bureau’s monthly retail sales report.
One big advantage of the month-to-month weighting change is that it is able to capture substitution effects, like when consumers purchase more margarine because butter prices are higher.
Like housing, gas has a much heavier weight in CPI compared to PCE. From January to February, gas prices rose by 3.8% on a seasonally adjusted basis. That was one of the main reasons why CPI jumped by 0.4% on a monthly basis in February.
The latest PCE data from January had gas prices falling by 5.2% from December. (CPI also found gas prices fell that month.)
Both indexes are faulted for using this metric to calculate housing inflation
Both indexes use a widely criticized metric called owners’ equivalent rent (OER) to track housing inflation. OER is essentially how much money you could earn from renting out your house if you own it.
For renters, CPI and PCE look at how much people pay for rent in aggregate.
The wedge between OER and rent was especially large in January, causing some economists to question if one of the sets of data was flawed, since theoretically what people pay for in rent should be similar to what homeowners would get from renting their homes.
One major issue with OER and the rent data is that these numbers don’t consider how much people are being offered on new leases. That matters because the rate at which new leases are rising is much slower than existing leases.
For instance, Zillow data from February suggests the median household is dedicating 29% of their income to the cost of a new rental. That’s just a tenth of a percentage point higher compared to last February.
But it can often take months for these trends to show up in either the PCE or CPI housing indexes.
Another issue with using OER to track housing inflation is that it doesn’t really affect homeowners.
As Bank of America economists pointed out in a recent note, “most homeowners are locked in to long-term mortgages.”
“The homeownership rate in the US is close to two-thirds, 40% of which have no mortgage,” they said. “Of homeowners with a mortgage, the majority have a mortgage below 4%. These households have therefore not seen a change in monthly payments for housing, unlike renters.”
