5) Sub Lean Frozen Proteins for Fresh

Lean frozen proteins, such as pre-cooked or raw shrimp, pre-cooked hamburger patties or veggie burgers are great options for getting dinner on the table stat. While pre-cooked frozen foods aren't as good as fresh, they are perfect for those busy nights when you would have otherwise been tempted to get takeout. If you're getting frozen shrimp, go for wild vs. farmed varieties. They're safer and will taste a lot better. Also, do your homework on the best cooked proteins, to keep your health in check.
