    I just can't do frozen meals anymore. Too much sodium and I don't know about anyone else but the meat in them is always rubbery or tough. I have tried them now and then but just not worth it. I cook and freeze in single serving containers but if that's not for you then pre-made is the way to go.

    Anyone lost a lot of weight eating lean cuisines 2-3 times a day?

    Hi
    Personal Opinion here. Most of them are tasty enough. I do not think they are all that high in sodium TBH, The Atkins are worse. I have eaten them, When I have one for Lunch or Dinner I use 170 grams (6 ounces) of frozen Vegetables, a Apple or a couple of Clementines, a Light & Fit Yogurt and 1/3 of a head of Iceberg Lettuce. I like the lettuce plain and can happily eat it with no salad dressing.

    When I am using them it is because the local Supermarket has them on sale as someone else commented, 5 for $10 + any coupons makes them affordable. The ones I select range from 200 to 300 calories per package.

    BTW a close second are many of the Smart Ones when on sale, The LC are slightly better tasting however. It does depend on pricing.

    Good Luck
    Roger

    Its all calories in calories out. Just check the box and be sure it fits your calories.

    Frozen foods are high in sodium, so if you have a medical condition that warrants being cautious about that, then don't have too many in a day.

    For what it is worth, had a friend back in college that didn't exercise, and lost 30 pounds solely by eating frozen pre-made meals.
