I've boosted meals up by serving with salad or steamed vegetables, added toppings to make them more interesting and rotated the meals so we don't get bored. However the pattern has been one of filling the freezer, emptying it and then re-filling it with new food.

This way of preparing meals is suiting my current schedule. My partner and I are both having long days, and neither of us has the inclination to cook every night. However our weekends are clear and I'm trying to make the most of the time I do have in the kitchen to crank out a few meals at a time.

This is one way I cope with eating well during a busy period. Even though our days are long, we're still eating good food.

Eating well when you're busy takes a bit of extra effort, focus and organisation. Three things which are obviously hard to find when your schedule is full. However, if you can eat healthy meals you'll be better equipped to manage the busy period. 

And at the moment, the strategy which is working for me, is to make the most of the cooking time I do have.
