Lean Cuisine meals

GTOgirl1969

They are on sale this week at my local store...never tried one but I figure they will help me control portions. Which ones do y'all recommend, and which ones are not so good? I got two today (Hunan beef and a chicken flatbread sandwich) I had the beef for lunch and it was good. I thought I'd be hungry afterward, but I'm really not. I'm pleasantly surprised.

I heard they were high in sodium but I don't eat any other salt except what may be in those kinds of meals and they didn't taste too bad and left me feeling full. I got the chicken fettuccini alfredo and the french bread pepperoni pizza. They were really good!

I really like the flatbread sandwiches, chophouse steak (I think that is the name) was my fave.

I like the ones that have the "lightly breaded chicken breast" in them.... there's one that comes with a cheese lasagne with it, another that is a parmesan chicken with spaghetti & zucchini, and a third that is herb roasted with chunky potatoes that I can remember liking offhand.

I really like the chicken parmagiana, but they are high in sodium. One once in a while with a lot of water is my practice. I find them really filling too.

I look for the ones under 300 cals. I usually have the turkey tenderloin, stuffing and cinnamon apples ones, baked chicken & whipped potatoes one, and the turkey & green beans one. Sometimes I'll splurge and get one of the pizzas... but the flat bread panini ones are really good. I like the meatloaf one. The ravioli one is a little on the skimpy side... makes you feel cheated.

I like the Hunan Beef, Spinach & mushroom Pizza and the BBQ - Recipe Chicken Pizza!! All very tasty.!! I usually add a side of veggies with the meals. Great for portion control and watching calories.

chicken marsala isnt so good. But chicken alfredo with broccoli is really good and the philly cheese sandwich, cheddar potatoes with broccoli is also good. there about all i eat!

The mac and cheese is really good! I also like the pizzas, and the cheese raviolis. I try to buy things I know my husband will eat...for example he will make mac and cheese (kraft) with extra butter and milk and then I will eat my lean cusine. This way, I don't feel like I am missing out on something!

I like the mexican ones

My favorite by far is the pepperoni pizza! Not the french bread one, the round pizza. Excellent!

I TAKE B6 METABOLISM SUPPORT VITAMINS THERE ONLY 1.51 AT WALMART FOR A 100 COUNT THEY HELP CONTROL PORTIONS.

I am a big fan of most of them: the Mexican and Italian foods are some of my favorites. The butternut squash ravioli is my #1.

The seafood ones are so-so. I have had a few shrimp-and-pasta ones where the shrimp was particularly brine-y.

Also try Smart Ones or Healthy Choice meals to mix things up a bit. (Plus, you can usually find one of the three on sale and stock up.)

I like SmartOnes better. The fettucini or the angel hair marinara
yummmmmmmmmmmm

I've had the Pepperoni Pizza, Fettucini Alfredo w/ chicken and the one w/o chicken, and the Cheese Ravioli so far and i really liked them

I love Lean Cuisine! Their Butternut Squash Ravioli is so amazing. The only thing I don't like is the Fettucini Alfredo because it's too peppery for me.

DjBliss05

I second the butternut squash ravioli, veggie egg roll and flatbread sandwiches.

I also love the panini sandwiches, the sesame chicken (yum!), and the spinach and mushroom pizza.

I have used lean cuisines for years as my quick meal. I really don't think you can go wrong with them. Obviously, they are not for every day, but good for when you need something quick.

I like them a whole lot better than a quarter pounder with fries!!:laugh: :laugh:

My favorite is rigatoni! Yummy!

KLS10

haha I love the fettuchini... I add a ton of pepper to it :laugh:

Jumbo rigatoni w/meatballs great for dinner 390 calories with a salad on the side. It is one of the dinner portion entrees.
