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.

Keep in mind frozen meals are good alternative, but should not be a staple in your diet.
