[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again:

So OP here's my suggested meal plan for you:

Sat dinner:  homecooked meal at the table  -chicken breast, rice, veg (prepare chicken tenders and freeze)
Sun dinner: homecooked meal at the table - beef stew, potatoes, salad (prepare baggies of veg)
Mon:  eat in car:  tortellini and spaghetti sauce (heated up at work - in thermos), baggies of veggies
Tues:  eat in car: healthy frozen burritos (heated up at work); baggies of fruit
Wed: eat in car: chicken tenders, steamed broccoli and dip, roll
Thursday: healthy-ish takeout option -- maybe chipotle?
Friday:  homecooked meal at table (use crockpot) -- apple pork roast, egg noodles, spinach salad

Chipotle doesn't fit anyone's definition of even remotely "healthy." Where are you getting that?

Say you just get a normal chicken burrito with black beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, and lettuce. That's 825 calories right there, or twice what a burger from McDonald's would be. You're hungry so you decide to nosh on chips and salsa too. Another 590 calories.  If you eat them both you're consuming 62 grams of fat and 2,390 milligrams of sodium.

Hell, that's a day's worth of those things for me all in one meal. I'd have to skip everything else during the day.

My DS is not overweight and exercises well. A Chipotle chicken burrito bowl with all the salsas and fajita veggies and a little less rice than usual is 100% better than a burger and fries from McDonalds.  OP is struggling and people are providing real options.  Chipotle is not the same as growing your own veggies and slaughtering your own organically fed chicken, but it's a step up.  [/quote]
