Have some ready-made meals on hand

For those times when you really don't feel like cooking and/or your fridge is empty, you can allow yourself a free pass with a ready-made frozen meal. Just be sure to read the labels carefully. Choose those that are low in sodium (500 mg or less is ideal) and with as few artificial ingredients as possible. There are plenty of healthier brands out there now with a wide array of well-rounded meals to choose from.
