Frozen meals can be your friend!

If your on the run and do not have time to make your lunch, a frozen meal can be a great alternative to going out to eat, or getting fast food. Make sure you check the Nutritional panel for calories, fat, and sodium. Kashi, Healthy Choice, and Amy's offer some healthy, all natural frozen meals. Some other to choose from are Lean Cuisine and Smart Ones, which all average out to be a little over $2 a piece. Keep in mind frozen meals are good alternative, but should not be a staple in your diet.

Workout with a friend!

If you are having a difficult time finding time to workout between your busy life schedule; whether it may be work, school, family, and social time with friends, an easy way to get a workout in is to make it a social activity. Hanging out doesn't have to include food and/or drinks, instead go to a yoga class, go for a walk, go for a run, or a bike ride with your friends and/or family; the possibilities are endless.

Leftovers are your friend!

Whenever you cook something healthy at home, make lots of it! That way, you can have leftovers for work and /or dinner. If you have a family, they can eat the leftovers as well (this means a cooking break for you). The next day you will not be tempted to go out to eat, or pick something up, because you already have good food waiting for you at home. Another option is freezing your leftovers; so when you come home to a crazy evening and don't want to cook, but eat healthy, you can just reheat the leftovers.
