    I like them. I add a veggie but I do find myself hungry shortly after having them.

    I eat them for lunch most days. Nothing wrong with them at all. Fairly well balanced IMO.

    I think they can be good for portion control, but I just don't like them. My husband loves the Thai Chicken I think it's called.

    I like the chicken carbonara ones, but Stouffer's mac and cheese is even better! Yum!

    I like the fettucine alfredo, I add a packet of tuna and some broccoli and get a super high protein meal for just 250-ish calories.

    I like them a lot! I add a good size salad with lemon juice and Nature Seasoning for dressing, or at least a piece of fruit, because the portions are so small (to me).

    I went through a stretch where I had them frequently. I just added some cooked vegetables or a couple handfuls of lettuce.

    I was referring to the concern about negative comments in the original post.

    I eat them frequently for lunch. Like today. Apple, string cheese, and Chicken Fried Rice lean cuisine. There are a few new varieties that have been pretty tasty - I wasn't really eating them for their super-deliciousness, but it's getting better.

    I too use them for a quick lunch when I don't have leftovers or something prepped ahead. I often add extra vegetables or some precooked chicken strips for extra protein.

    I really like the Evol ones, those are newer and have some different flavors. Otherwise I tend to get whatever's on sale but I also am partial to the Healthy Choice steamers.

    I don't usually get that brand but I love the Safeway Eating Right meals because they are a really good deal and I like the different varieties. They are great in a pinch and it's a relief to not have to stress over guesstimating my calories. But I can't eat them consistently. After a week I crave fresh food so I take a break from them and then resume again.

    I used to be a huge fan of the stouffer's mac and cheese. I can't even look at them now because of all the calories.

    But I love the pesto chicken with rigatoni. It's under 500 calories but I can still fit in my goals.

    I usually get the chicken alfredo & add broccoli......but tuna sounds yum! Thank you for the idea.

    Lean Cuisine has a great website. You can sort products by protein counts or sodium....whathaveyou.

    I'm on a Healthy Choice Steamer kick right now.

    I have two or three a week. Add a salad with measured amounts of protein on it and it's a decent lunch. Measured portions and prep time are my two favorite things about them.

    They changed the stouffer's mac and cheese (in Canada at least) so it is only 420 calories now (was over 500 in the past - so much cheesier then!!)

    I like lean cuisine. I also use the FIT Kitchen frozen meals for lunch on a pinch. I try to make lunches over the weekend but don't always have time. I like the Healthy Choice steamers too. My emergency lunch is always 2 taco bell chicken soft tacos. The salts high but I make the rest of my food do its ok.
