Eating Well When You’re On the Go

It’s 6 p.m. and your family is hungry. Between work, piano lessons and soccer practice, it’s tempting to grab a fatty, fast-food meal. But eating well on a busy schedule is just a matter of planning.

1. Look for recipes and cookbooks designed for quick meals.
2. To eliminate preparation time, take advantage of ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables available in most grocery stores.
3. Whip together a quick, healthy meal with the following “recipeless,” menu:
   • First, get in the habit of taking chicken out of the freezer the night before to thaw.
   • The next evening, marinade the chicken for 20 minutes, then grill or bake it. In a pinch, pick up a whole rotisserie chicken at the grocery store.
   • While the chicken is cooking, make a salad and slice up fruit. Again, prepackaged salads are fast, easy and still pack nutrition!
   • Microwave some frozen vegetables with a little seasoning.
   • Serve a round of skim milk to all and voila — a nutritious dinner is on!
