By Pamela Ofstein

We know you won't always have time to prepare a proper lunch or cook up a healthy dinner, so we're going to make eating right anywhere much easier. eDiets has teamed up with Healthy Dining Finder to bring you the best meals at your favorite restaurants each month.

It's not based in Boston and it's not a market, but in today's time-pressured environment, Boston Market perfect for people looking for quick, tasty, health-conscious options.

With more than 530 locations in 28 states, Boston Market offers something for everyone, inlcuding individual and family meals, soups, salads, sandwiches, and even $5 favorites. You can even get a $4-off coupon here to save more!

Who doesn't enjoy the taste of a homestyle meal? Boston Market has nailed it when it comes to providing wholesome entrees perfect for lunch or dinner. What is great about Boston Market is that you can enjoy roasted turkey, homestyle meatloaf or rotisserie chicken any time of year!

I have been going to Boston Market for years and their menu continues to grow and provide more selections for health-conscious diners. My favorites include the White Rotisserie Chicken and the Roasted Turkey -- two of my favorite lower calorie and fat, high protein sources served up with full flavor.

A ¼ White Rotisserie Chicken (no skin of course) serves up only 240 calories per serving and 4 grams of fat, while the Roasted Turkey is only 150 calories per serving and 2.5 grams of fat. Couple either one of those with a side of Green Beans and Fresh Steamed Vegetables (totaling only 120 calories) and you have two meals to choose from that are less than 360 calories each. Perfect for lunch or dinner.

Don't forget the salads, soups or Carver sandwiches. You can enjoy their Caesar Salad with either chicken or turkey (omit the dressing, where calories add up fast) for under 320 calories per serving. Or opt to split a Half Boston Turkey Carver with a friend or loved one and add a Caesar Side Salad (no dressing) or some of Boston Market’s Garlic Dill New Potatoes (my favorites) -- all under 500 calories per meal and within budget.

Check out previous picks: Chili's, El Pollo Loco, zpizza, Blimpie, Sizzler, P.F. Chang's, Moe's Southwest Grill.
