I love that one too, wish I could find Any's on sale more often!0 -
I don't see anything wrong with eating them once/twice a week if you have nothing prepped for lunch. This one is one of my favorites. Good source of protein. Stouffer's Fit Kitchen0

Yes. I buy some that Lean Cuisine makes that are really good, and also a few Trader Joe's frozen entrees that are very good, also. I like that the nutritional counts are already listed. I sometimes add extra veggies.0

I’m enjoying my Lean Cuisine Pepperoni Pizza AND a Diet A&W - living dangerously I guess!2

I keep a few frozen meals on hand. They are for those days when my body simply can not take any more and I just need something that doesn't require me to stand. I try to meal prep on weekends, but it doesn't always happen due to many reasons (such as my health) so they are a good stand by when that happens. I don't have many, but that is also because it can be so hard to find ones that I can actually have (WHY do so many use soy!!!??? or are tomato based??).0

I've lost 60 pounds in 6 months eating almost exclusively "Healthy Choice Cafe Streamer" frozen meals. I probably couldn't have done this journey without them. I eat 3 a day and some snacks. They are about 200-300 calories each, and are well balanced with no preservatives (<500mg sodium in most). They taste great, and there's enough flavors you can practically live off them. They also only take 4 minutes to prepare and are easy to count because 1 box = 1 serving.
I've also been dabbling in Lean Cuisine pizza/meals, but to say they are healthy or "lean" is a joke. Boxes tend to claim about 400 calories, but my mouth tells me they are probably closer to 600. Too much grease. High sodium levels too.1 -
I’m just sitting here looking at the box of a Smart Ones — I’m on one of my weekends away and need quick and easy meals that only need a microwave. Perfectly functional for that, and I’ve added a salad to fill in the corners. But the Points Plus value is way out of wack with the calories — 6 points for 250 calories!0
