Obviously salads without fatty bacon bits and fat-free dressing are good. Sandwiches generally are, but make sure the lunch meat you use isn't bad. Soup can be okay if you don't overeat it. Obviously fast food in general is bad.

Ideally right now I want suggestions for quick healthy snacks and meals I can make (within 10-15 minutes of work or less), and also want to have this thread around for future reference and everyone to use.

Further insight on the salad part is use AS LITTLE dressing as possible. Also use dressing that is not creamy and that you can see through it. Ranch, thousand island has about 30 grams of fat in a 1 oz serving. Thats not a whole lot less than the average 1/4 pound patty burger.

For snacks I think fruit works best. Otherwise try bread. I should speak for myself cuz my snacks usually is chips.

Overall its important to balance your nutrition. People disagree with me but I don't particularly think Vitamin C pills should substitute vegetables and fruits. Vitamin C pills have about 800% of ur DV and its not good for your nutrition rate to spike at such high amounts in regular intervals. It should be more gradual.
