If you can get a Greek salad with BBQ chicken on it, you get the best of both worlds. And if you eat some ogf the lettuce, plus the pieces of carrots and celery and feat cheese, plus beets, hey, lots of fibre and vitamins, might make for an easier transition.

Greek and tossed salad?

Not my style but whatever floats your boat.

Guessing you don't cook?
Beats me how anyone can have a healthy diet eating on the run all the time. Packaged crap. The fast food salads are not much of a bonus. HFCS laced dressings, processed meats also sugared up and all. Some romaine doesn't wipe away the other sins. Go buy some groceries.

Wife cooks. I clean dishes, stove, etc.

It is hard to cook every meal unless you are a housewife or a health fanatic. Got to sacrifice something sometime. Question is what you are willing to give up. If we just pulled a 12 plus hours day and ask for a fresh cooked meal, it might be a tough sell. It takes 1 hour of time from start to finish to do that. If you come home at 9 pm, how good would you feel if you have to cook and clean up? At this point I'm hungry and tired and would not really appreciate the food.

Typical day. I was up at 4 a.m., in the barn milking. Made it to work at 7:35. including the 10 minutes it took to flip a spinach omelet and grab some cheese for lunch. Left work at 12 and came home to work on vaccinations. Returned to school at 1:30 to prep for next week. Home at 4 to continue vaccinating and cleaning pens. Taking a minute for a beer I rubbed the Tri-tip I took out of the freezer this morning and set the oven to heat. The broccoli is trimmed and the salad is made. Going out now to feed, which requires hauling hay to three different pastures for 45+ and a dozen horses. When I get back in there'll be time for a Manhattan on the porch while the trip-tip and the broccoli cook. We'll be eating by 7. I'll only have one Manny tonight as there is a coy-dog bothering the chickens where they Anatolians can't get to him and I am going to nail the sucker. Tomorrow is my day off. I open the winery at 9 and I'll only have to stick around till about 5. Anyone who wants to cook their own food can figure out how to do it. You're right. It's about priorities.
