Frozen dinners

I don't own a microwave, but I've occasionally used them while in a jam for work. Lean Cuisine tastes like watery plastic faux-food to me, though. If I have to eat one, I'd choose Amy's, Stouffer's, or President's Choice (Canadian brand). A lot of Stouffer's meals have the same calorie and fat content as Lean Cuisine meals, but they taste a lot better/heartier. I'd suggest comparing the nutritional values on regular vs. diet/light brands and seeing which work for you.

I sometimes have a frozen meal for lunch on Mondays, when we have no leftovers. I get one of the wheat-free ones.

I like to make my own meals and freeze them. I find the frozen meals don't feel me up at all. I think if they work for you then go for it. They just don't work for me. I will say I love the BOCA burgers and some morning star stuff if I want to add something to a salad.

I make my own food but every once in a while I will eat an Amy's frozen dish just because it's convenient. The sodium in those kill my blood pressure. I am trying to eat whole, unprocessed foods in general. It's tough but that's my goal.

Ew! They're all salt and the portions are ridiculously tiny.

LOVE the Stouffer's macaroni and cheese - not particularly 'healthy,' but worth every calorie!!

I'm not much of a fan. They're not filling to me and most don't taste that great. I'd much rather make a big batch of something (soup, casserole, etc) and eat the leftovers.

Just the occasional frozen pizza, these days.

Fun fact: About 14 years ago I had some Healthy Choice fettucini alfredo which had such an artificial taste that it put me off fettucini alfredo of any type for about a year.

Has the "cheese" in SmartOnes changed? It used to be repulsive, and I stopped buying that brand. I prefer Lean Cuisine and Amy's. The Lean Cuisine pizzas are Off. The. Chain.

I cook most of my own food and find most frozen dinners to be mushy, and nothing like they appear on the picture on the box. But there are a couple I like and have occassionally...

Healthy Choice Cafe Steamer Beef Teriyaki (I add extra veggies)



Trader Joe's Family Style Meat Lasagna

Nope! Waayyyyy to much sodium and processed ingredients. You're better off cooking your own meals and freezing them.

Usually lunch for me, easy and convenient.

How many of you use frozen dinners such as lean cuisean, healthy choice etc on your diet

Not really frozen dinners like that. I do have things like a frozen bean burrito or pizza sometimes. They are not diet versions though

I have never found a packaged frozen meal that tastes good or has an appealing texture, but I think most restaurant food is awful too. I usually cook 2 casseroles on Sunday that my husband and I can rotate for our lunches throughout the week. Anything left on Friday gets put in the freezer for another day.

I eat frozen meals for lunches & usually try to pair them with a few servings of frozen veggies.

My favorites are Lean Cuisine Apple Cranberry Chicken & Healthy Choice Crustless Chicken Pot Pie.

I also like Amy's Organic & Red's burritos.

I just ate Saffron Road's Chicken Pad Thai. High in flavor, low in sodium, no preservatives. You can buy healthy frozen foods or unhealthy fresh foods--it's all up to you!
