    I have always been told the frozen dinners really aren't that good for you. They are normally high in sodium. I know they are quick but it's better to eat a turkey sandwich on whole wheat or even a PB&J rather than the frozen dinner even if they do say lean on them.

    I would stick to fresh fruits and veggies and NON-processed foods. They are better for you and you can eat much more. I like doing different things with boneless skinless chicken breasts, whole wheat pastas and rice. Watch out for sauces and dips too, they can add a lot of calories, but if you use just a little for taste, you can eat really yummy and really healthy!!

    A quick snack idea is Vitalicious VitaMuffin tops. They are 100 calories, packed with fiber, and found in the organic frozen section.

    I also love the egg, salsa and avocado meal. I usually eat this with an english muffin, and spread the avocado on it instead of butter. It's a high protein meal.

    Another go-to of mine is hummus. I make my own pita chips by buying flatbread or pita bread, cutting it into triangles, and toasting it.

    Good luck to you!

    Also for breakfast I have at least 4 egg whites and sometimes I add a couple of slices of ham to that. Fruit is good to have for breakfast as well.

    Lunch is normally pretty boring for me...chicken, turkey, PB&J...depending on what I feel. Sometimes I have leftovers from the night before like 3 or 4 oz of sirloin with some rice and a veg. Snacks for me include apples (which I cut into pieces), Clementine cuties, almonds, grapes, bananas and strawberries. I have a 90 calories FiberOne bar every couple of days if I really am craving something sweet. I work a second job at a cafe so I eat what is there....They have two veggies so I eat one cup of each and then 3 to 4 oz of meat. Sometimes I will include a little rice. Really all you can do is eat healthy and make yourself feel good. Mostly likely if you are feeling bad, you are eating something that isn't healthy.

    Balance Bars and Turkey Sausage are my personal lifesavers. Without those two things I probably would not make it through this diet.

    Also, the Smart Ones Sundaes are AWESOME!!

    Did anyone suggest Healthy Choice Steamers? They are THE choice for a frozen meal in my opinion. All around 300 calories, sometimes less and they don't have the mushy-ness that other frozen dinners have. I like grilled chicken marinara, chicken red pepper alfredo, pineapple chicken.. They are SO tasty and have a large serving of veggies!!!

    *I went bad and read the posts to find this had already been mentioned... but I second it! :)
