[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, try cutting out processed foods.  Half the plate fruits and veggies (mostly veggies).  Keep it simple.  
Chicken breast- marinate in Olive oil, balsamic vinegar and some herbs- basil, oregano, garlic powder - cook in oven 325 for 15-20 minutes
Add some veggies - steams or roasted - keep it simple - you can do prep on the weekend (cut things up so all you need to do is toss in the oven)
For steamed veggies- get a rice/veggie steamer- they are relatively inexpensive - or use a steam basket - good for carrots, broccoli, asparagus 
Roasted veggies- cut up some butternut squash, pumpkin, turnip, parsnip, asparagus - most veggies - add some olive oil, a touch of salt (very little) and roast at 425

For a starch- try sweet potato or try a roasted potato (same method as veggies above- but add some rosemary)
The simpler you keep it the better

Invest in some good Olive Oil - I go through a good amount each week

Another easy option - cook up some bacon (yes bacon) on the weekend - put in a storage container (4 pieces should work)
get some organic pasta (in the refrigerated section) and various veggies (I usually use asparagus, corn, tomatoes, onions - but go with what you like)garlic and grated parmigiano reggiano (do not use processed parmesan stuff)
sauté the onion and crushed/minced garlic in the olive oil - add the asparagus - cook on med heat for about 5 min or so - while you are doing this cook the pasta in water  - takes 2-3 minutes 
Cut the corn off the cobb (I don't use canned - if fresh isn't available I omit the corn) and add that and halved cherry tomatoes and about 4 cutup bacon slices.  Cook for about a minute.  Add the cooked pasta and the cheese to the veggies. mix and serve.
