I agree with Lean Cuisine if you like fast food.
However, my advice is to learn how to cook quick food. There is one thing you should remember that no matter HOW busy you are: you can always have a little time to prepare a quick, but healthy meal. Your body counts on it.
Pasta takes 10 minutes tops- you can also always cook huge pots of it, and divide it into separate little containers with tomato sauce. Cheap and good when you add a little parmesan (if you like or eat cheese), and if you sprinkle on a little garlic salt and Italian seasonings.
Frozen veggies taste fresh and delicious. Defrost/heat green beans with a couple pats of butter, garlic salt, and other seasonings of your choice for three minutes. Voila. Heat peas with salt, and that's great too.
Have five minutes before bed? Cut up some tomatoes, green peppers, and red onions into a small bowl or container. Marinate in garlic salt, a bit of pepper, red wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar- stick covered bowl/container in fridge overnight. Add parmesan into your container just before leaving the house with a plastic fork.
How about something sweet but good? Like popcorn? Try the 100-calorie packs with cinnamon. Or the kettle corn version. Get pre-cut fruit bowls if you can afford it. Buy a big bag of apples- if you have some time, core/peel/cut into small pieces and then simmer in a big pot with a bit of water/sugar/cinnamon/nutmeg with a lid of it. After a while, the apples will be very soft and you can mash them up with a potato masher. Great fresh applesauce.
