Sport Healthy Food in Scotland?

Sport Fitness
Hey all, I'm American but I just moved to Scotland for five months. I am having the hardest time finding my normal healthy grocery items over here! I'm in a really small town. I spent about an hour at the grocery store and all I came away with were chicken breasts (even these were hard to find, most are breaded over here), eggs, oats (called porridge?), and some fruit.

If anyone is from the UK, or has been there, could you let me know where/how you shop?

Things I can't find:
-Powerbars, beef jerkey, and other healthy snacks
-Whey protein!!!!!!
-Lactaid milk
-Lean beef (like ground beef, top sirloin, etc.)
-Fish fillets (preferably frozen)
-100% whole wheat bread (is "wholemeal" the same as 100% whole wheat?)
-Peanut butter!!!!!!

Thanks for the help!
 
Ask Evo, he has some roots in Scotland so he knows all the different shops in all the different towns

You in the highlands or lowlands?
 
Scotland isn't so bad, although it has a terrible reputation for poor health. Most of Scotland is covered by the big supermarkets Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons. Find your nearest big supermarket and do your weekly shop there. Google Tesco store locator, there is a Tesco in DUNDEE MONIFIETH which is about 5 miles from you. You can get all your healthy options there.

You can also find Health Food Shops in the bigger towns.

Let me know if you need any other specific translations.
