Lite N' Easy

scubaemma

I buy Lite N Easy but just the dinners (not the whole day of food thing). As a shift worker (Detective) it means I always have a healthy option when I'm working in the evenings - a lot of my workmates get takeaway on an evening shift. I just heat up one of my dinners.

I am really impressed with the food! It tastes great! Lots of choice (I don't get bored, and I've been doing it for about 6 months) and nice and healthy (some more than others).

I sometimes have the dinners at home as well because for me (and my husband) cooking is just another chore to do, like cleaning the bathroom! I don't enjoy it. But I'm happy to get myself a healthy and nutritious breakfast, healthy snacks and lunch. So I've still learnt how to feed myself and make good choices (and it's working, I've lost 12kg, got about 4kg to go).

Cost wise I don't find it unreasonable at all! And I'm not doing it for cost, I'm doing it because getting these dinners suits my lifestyle and is a healthy choice.

I'm in Brisbane by the way.

I'm an American (Texas) currently living in Perth eating Lite N Easy. Americans really don't understand the cost of things unless they have actually lived here. Food can be quite expensive. I think Lite N Easy is reasonably priced. I decided to try Lite N Easy about 5 months ago after a friend recommended it to me. I love it. I only do the 5 day breakfast and lunches. I cook healthy meals every night and on the weekends. My husband and I moved to Perth without family. Since he is at work everyday I wanted some meal options for just me during the weekdays. These meals are very tasty and the portion sizes are great.

I have lost weight while eating Lite N Easy as just part of my diet of eating healthy. I doubt it will warp my sense of choosing healthy foods and portions in the future. The reason I say this is because it is a small part of my diet. I cook every night and on weekends. It has helped me get a better understanding of portion sizes that I carry over to my dinner time eating. I also bought a food scale to do a better job of measuring the food I cook for myself. Actually I don't cook every night. We go out to eat once every weekend with friends. And for you Americans reading this, it is not unusual for us to spend over $100 on dinner and drinks with friends on our one night we go out to eat. I miss going out to eat some good Mexican food with a margarita and never spending more than $30 for the two of us.

Off thread but have you tried that place in Freo, just off the cappuccino strip? I can't remember the name. It won't be as good as the Mexican you would get in Texas but I reckon it would compare favourably against Chipotle and those kind of places.

I could spend up to $80 - $100 a week on groceries for myself EXCLUDING any takeaways I get.... I live in Queensland Australia. The grocery prices here are insane...

I have just put my first order in with Lite n Easy. I have wanted to try for a while and in the last 6 weeks I have gone of the Richter with my eating and not exercising.

I am at the stage in life where this will be very handy as I am single and work hard. Will update when food arrives on Wednesday.

Thank you for your topic. Very helpful
