Don't feel like cooking tonight? Stop by Boston Market and pick up a full meal to take home for the family. Boston Market, now a wholly owned subsidiary of McDonald's Corporation, practically invented the home-meal replacement concept. The fairly wide range of entrees, plus vegetable choices that are a little more interesting than typical fast-food fare, make this chain a good take-out or eat-in place for those on the South Beach diet.

Best Choices
Among the entrees, the variations on Rotisserie Chicken white meat quarters are all SBD-friendly, especially if you choose the skinless and wingless versions. The Rotisserie Turkey is another good choice. Round out your entree with some of the hot side dishes, such as the Green Beans, Steamed Vegetable Medley, or Butternut Squash. If you'd prefer a salad entree, go for the plain Caesar Salad or Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad. Eliminating the croutons from a main course Caesar takes it from a Phase 3 to a Phase 1 dish. The Asian Rotisserie Chicken Salad is another good option (hold the toasted noodles and go easy on the dressing). For all the salads, skip the corn bread.
