I CAN diet, but I cannot make my own plan. Its not just about time, its about talent, and planning meals is something I sorely lack talent for. Add in trying to make them healthy? Not gonna happen. If I could do that, I wouldn't be asking for diet plans now would I?
Go to the library and take out some diet books. They all have diet plans, and most of them kind of follow the same formula nowadays. My favorite was the Zone and 'Mastering the Zone' gives excellent ideas for healthy meals and snacks.

ETA - the Zone can be really intimidating because it divides portions into blocks, like the way weight watchers does points, sort of. Just KISS and only pay attention to the food choices. If you have the time, though, you can really learn a lot about how what you eat affects your insulin levels, metabolism and moods. Its a great education.
