If you can't break away from e-mails and the pile of work in your inbox and tend to eat at your desk, then it's time to get clean. Frozen meals like Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine are smart diet choices when supplemented with some fruit or a salad, but they have to be heated in the microwave.

Keep the door open and advise others to do so after cooking to minimize smells.
