I like lean pockets and lean cuisine a lot; however, my sodium intake went through the roof while eating these prepackaged meals.

I love the Lean Cuisine Brand over most of the others! The last Smart One meal I had though was out of this world....it was one of the newer "fruit sensations" meals...I think it was the turkey w/ Cranberry stuffing....really delicious!

I don't really like frozen meals because of the sodium... I may be working out and loosing weight but I also look like a blow fish... water retention sucks... lol... so my advice to you if you eat them is check the sodium content before buying... and also know how much sodium you are going to have each day... it will help you choose...

I like Weight Watchers Smart Ones, their lasagnas are actually pretty filling!

My new favs are the Amy's Mexican Tamale Pie and Santa Fe Enchilada Bowl. I also like the Cedarlane Monterey Jack and Mushroom Tamales and the Couscous and Veggie wrap. Those products can be a bit more expensive, so I try to buy them on sale.

I like some of the WW and Lean Cuisine items now and then too. I LOVE the Lean Cuisine Deluxe French Bread Pizza (helps with my pizza craving)and the Three Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni Bowl and the WW Smartones Homestyle Beef Pot Roast (180 Calories and 4.5 g fat and tastes like pot roast. I just have a craving for red meat now and then and this does the trick)

If you have a Trader Joes near you, I always stock up on the Roasted Veggie Enchiladas. 300 calories for the whole tray and super filling and delicious.

I forgot, another "Trick" is I make the WW Smartones Chicken Santa Fe (very light on calories and fat) and put it on a baked potato. Pretty quick and filling meal! Sometimes I put a little light sour cream on top.

But, as the other people were saying...watch the sodium. Just try to limit your sodium the rest of the day if you eat any of these meals. But, they are convenient and sometimes that is needed to stay on track..and they are nicely portioned out too, which can be especially nice for those new to counting calories and portion control.

I LOVE the lean cuisine panini's. They ARE high in sodium but I only have 1 like every 2 weeks or so so... doesn't really worry me. I like the Tuscan grilled chicken one the best, YUM

A few days ago I had Amy's stuffed shells, and they were really delicious. I also like most lean cuisine stuff, especially the paninis and flatbread varieties. I find that I can eat them without going over on sodium as long as I'm careful during other meals.

I don't like the Smart Ones meals, but the desserts are amazing. I love those little things. Two in a package and one it totally enough for me. Lean Cuisines make the BEST paninis. I like Lean Pockets too but they just don't fill me up as much. Smart Ones are definitely cheaper, but I really prefer to pay like $.75 more and get a better meal with the Lean Cuisines.
