I know I haven't been eating right, either, but I'll admit it--I'm slightly ignorant when it comes to meal planning. (I'm a dope cook, though!)
If anyone knows what I can eat that'll help me get throught the day, I'd appreciate it. We don't get lunch breaks--we kinda have to eat on the fly.

Lean protien; water; vegetables; tub of yoghurt
So you could say steam/grill 1/2 a chicken breast, with some vegies (carrot sticks, celery with say some hommus) or some other steamed vegies. At least 2 Litres of water (what's that 1/2 gallon?) Yoghurt for your calcium or cheese.
Cut it all into slices or finger food size so you can grab some. Also it's better if you take say 5-10 minutes to actually sit and focus on your food so your aware that you are eating, so you won't be tempted to pick on junk food later on.
Being a guy, depending on your height/weight, you'll probably need more protien (can't remember the ratios off the top of my head).
Of course if you are a vegan or a vegitarian then you'll be looking at other sources of protiens - slow cookers or pressure cookers are great for making cooking things like lentils and beans a little less time consuming (I love my slow cooker/crock pot) You just shove everything in in the morning and have dinner cooked at night.
Or you could cook things like tuna mornays, and then eat the leftovers the next day at work.
