Trader Joe's has tons of prepped salad fixins, which is handy when you are busy; that stuff is good for stir - fries, etc. For lunch I do a big container of stir - fried (or you can even nuke) veg, with some brown rice or something...can be a huge portion, very filing and healthy. There's food at work, but it's on the "heavy" side...

Gotta "fling into spring" healthy eating - wise ;-)
