I'm trying to reduce the burger intake myself but my biggest issue is that I just don't like eating greens. I do it but it's something that I'm never going to get used to or crave.

One of my go-to lunches is the starbucks snack boxes - fruit, cheese, crackers, almonds, etc. Low on carbs.
Of course everything in there is stuff I can make at home and just bring but equally important to me is getting out of the office just for 30 minutes to mentally re-charge.
Travel is tough. I go to Seattle and NY a lot. Seattle is very easy to eat healthy and well. NY I find tough - where my hotel is there aren't a lot of great options - just pizza by the slice, burgers, and street meat.
The other huge thing that has changed in the last 6 months is we eat chicken at home again. My wife had been told she had a food allergy to chicken so we couldn't each much of it. Sourcing turkey was tough so we were stuck with a lot of red meat, pork and fish. Chicken is such a staple though so we asked for a 2nd opinion and were told she can indeed eat Chicken. So that feathered friend is back on our table and that has made eating healthier dinners way easier.
