Too Lean Cuisine?

learningtolove

Sometimes I have the lean cousine with a side salad or a piece of fruit for lunch all the time

I would eat one and drink 32 oz of water with it. That was always plenty for me. The sodium was a little concerning though. But I am a picky eater and a horrible cook so I ate them for lunch every day.

I used to eat Lean Cuisines every night for dinner for years. I never lost a pound. I agree - they have basically no nutritional value and you are much better off creating your own meals. I turned to Isagenix, which is a meal replacement shake. It keeps me full much longer and is full of all the nutrition that you need. Best of all, I lost about 13 pounds when I began Isagenix. If you'd like to find out more about it, message me

lean cuisine is to small for me. i can usually eat more food and less calories very easily. xP not to mention all the sodium and preservatives in the stuff. not to mention all the nutrients you lose microwaving the stuff.

I have not read all of the posts so if someone suggested this, then good! Smart Ones makes meals in a bag that are 30% larger than their ones in the trays. They are 300 calories and fill my 20 yr old son up. Try adding raw carrots or celery and an apple to fill you up. Best wishes on your health journey!

I have to tell you...I always felt like it never satisfied me when I ate those frozen meals. First of all, I could eat them in a few bites and in a few minutes. I ended up cutting everything up in tiny bites...it was really dissatisfying. Now, I eat left lovers from dinner, a big salad, or a sandwich I make at home. Much more satisfying AND the same calorie count (without all the preservatives).

Try the Weight Watchers Smart Ones Satisfying Selections. They are larger than the regular Smart Ones, under 400 calories per meal, and they taste pretty good. They also have a nice big helping of protein.

This is hilarious I had my first lean cuisine meal and it was the Chicken Carbonara I got like 4 chunks of chicken and like 3 or 4 spoonfuls of noodles and I was like " Man, I neeed 2 of these"... but it honestly filled me up for 4 hrs I was totally shocked

I weigh 256.8 lbs. I'm 5'10" and 33 years old. Are Lean Cuisine meals too small for someone my size. I plan on doing about 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week and some light resistance a couple times a week. Are those frozen meals too small for me to each at lunch? I had one today and was so hungry I had another. Total Cal count came out to 500. Let me know what you think.

I'm 100+ pounds lighter, 7 years older and female and Lean Cuisines are way too small for me! They must feel microscopic to you! I would definitely eat more! I typically eat 600-650 calories for lunch. I have fruit, soup, a salad and maybe some cookies or graham crackers.

I find the kashi frozen dinners much more filling. (cheapest at target, around $3 each)

And the other choice is kettle cuisine. I have only seen these at whole foods, but the chili is excellent, super filling and the has the same amount of calories as those crappy lean cuisines.

Lean Cuisine are the frozen meals that I find the least filling.
Low in calories but what's the point if you aren't filled up.

I think you are better off with tuna salad...cheaper, easier and will keep you full.
