Health magazine put together their list of what they considered to be the "best foods for busy women." What they clearly meant to say was the "best pre-packaged meals/snacks for busy women". There isn't anything necessarily wrong with this sort of meal, but I would hardly go so far as to say it is the "best," since my definition of "best" does not generally include a lot of shelf-stable pre-packaged meals. Nevertheless, here are their picks:

Breakfast
South Beach Diet Denver-Style Breakfast Wrap
Post Raisin Bran Cereal Bars

Lunch
Starkist Albacore Lemon & Cracked Pepper Tuna Fillet
Thai Kitchen Thai Peanut Noodle Car

Dinner
Lean Cuisine Dinnertime Selections Chicken Portobello
Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Whole Grain Brown

Snack
Kettle Brand Bakes Hickory Honey BBQ

Dessert
Edy's/Dreyer's Slow Churned Light Ice Cream French Silk
100 Percent Whole Grain Chips Ahoy! Cookies

My list? Well, given that I myself am a busy women, here would be my list. Notice that there are far fewer pre-made meals than on the list above. These foods also have the benefits of being relatively inexpensive, quick and nutritious. In fact, you would probably spend less eating a menu like this during the week than spending money on the menu from Health.

Breakfast
Oatmeal is a great fast breakfast, especially if you get the quick-cooking "1-minute" variety, frozen or instant oats. If you get instant, be sure to get the unsweetened kind and add your own sugars and spice. Fruit is never a bad "to-go" breakfast choice either.

Lunch
A sandwich or leftovers from the night before is always good for lunch. How long does it take to make PB&J? Not long. If you must buy something, try a pre-made salad from the deli section of the market or a favorite type of soup.

Dinner
Again, salads don't take long to make and you can buy a fresh, roasted chicken at the market for only slightly more than the choices that Health magazine picked above. And guess what? Leftover chicken means lunch for tomorrow! Another easy option is eggs, since they are packed with protein and cook up in minutes. Top them with salsa and serve them with toast and you have a meal in minutes.

Snacks
A piece of fruit and a serving (or two) of crispy pretzels are good choices for snacks, but munch on a few nuts if you want to add some protein. I also like Larabars and, if you have a chance to whip something up, Matisse and Jack's baked energy bars are dead easy.

Dessert
I don't have a problem with the ice cream choice from above, especially since I think that the French Silk flavor is quite good. We have lots of ice cream reviews here, too. I do think that a nice piece of chocolate is better than a Chip's Ahoy! cookie, though.
