Frozen meals...work of the devil or heaven sent?

I've been known to have them if i'm working late and want something quick. I wouldn't have them all the time but once in a while for me, is fine.

I usually have one or two a week for lunch. Some days I don't have leftovers to bring and it's nice to have something to grab and go so I don't have to leave my office and get fast food. The Amy's meals are my favorite but I also like the Lean Cuisine chicken fried rice and Korean beef varieties!

I cook my own meals for the week, knowing I will be with limited time some days.
As for these frozen, processed things, forget it.
I'd sooner eat a McD Big Mac.

With me, I know only two speeds: nutritional whole foods or McDonalds.
Some days I need those Golden Arches!

They aren't the devil. You are working long hours and if making your own stuff is just too time consuming then is seems you have found a solution that works for you.

That is what is most important. You are making choices that work for you and your life. You could have just as easily gone through a fast food drive through and instead choose to eat better than that.

I think if you've found a solution that works for you then go for it. There is nothing wrong with those frozen meals or frozen food in general. I do like a Lean Cuisine swedish meatballs a couple times a week. Healthy Choice makes several of their Cafe Steamers that are high in protein, I saw one that had 19g.

Most days I have a Healthy Choice Cafe Steamer for lunch but I usually add a large salad on the side to get in more veggies.

Not the devil but I don't eat them everyday. Actually some of them are really tasty to me and feel indulgent. Some nights I'll cook one for dinner but I have to have a side salad with it or else I'd die.

this thread has inspired me to get some of the lasagna frozen dinners... I haven't had lasagna in a while!
