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

    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.

    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!!)

    It's about 700 calories for the entire package :( When I think of how liberal my food choices used to be the weight gain makes so much sense.

    you know I used to eat these all the time, then stopped when I started watching what I ate.
    Mondays and Wednesdays I tend to eat cereal or an omlette for dinner because my son has soccer and by the time we are home it is after 8 PM and I dont feel like eating or cooking.
    These would be a great idea instead with some frozen veg and the costco grilled chicken strips...

    Don't know WHY I didn't think of this before!

    I have a similar situation where my kids have activities and there are nights where I'm eating late by myself since I fed them before practice. I also get those skillet meals quite often - Bertolli makes good Italian ones and PF Changs has some great Asian ones. I make the skillet meal for myself and eat half of it that night and package up the rest for lunch the next day. Again with a salad or some extra veg or extra chicken they are a perfect sized meal. Those take about 10 minutes so I can put that on while I am outside with the dog or something.

    I know a lot of people turn their noses up at frozen foods, but for me, even though I love to cook, I just can't pass up the convenience on busy nights.

    I like LC but they're expensive where I am [2 for $9], so I only get them when they're on sale :/

    I'd try them myself, but I'm on a sodium and potassium restrictive diet, and all of them are very high in both [900mg sodium, 950mg potassium for a small 185 calorie meal? No thanks].

    There's always a price for convenience.

    When I feel like pizza, reach for LC. Great with a tossed salad and sometimes I add veggies on top.
