The best thing I did for my healthy lifestyle was invest in a small chest freezer and stacks of freezerware. I took one weekend, made about 10 different dishes, portioned them into individual servings, labeled them with necessary nutritional info, & froze for healthy instant convenience meals.

Being too tired to cook was always a weakness in a healthy lifestyle for me; convenience foods were either fattening or unsatisfying "diet meals," that lead me to overeat. Any time I cook fresh meals, leftovers are immediately measured out & added to cache, giving me lots of variety.
