How do you feel about "Box Meals"

I personally love them.. I am single, live alone and only have to feed myself. They do all the work for me, they proportion my servings and tell me how much calories etc that I am eating.. They might be a bit more expensive.. But shoot someone had to prepare them puppy's.. And I usually get some good deals when I go shopping..
Anyone else live on these things?

I don't like them and even when I was single I cooked for myself. I personally don't believe in packaged meals.
Cook and freeze left overs for later.0 -
Usually really high in sodium and really low in taste. However there are a few that I do like for convenience such as the WW quesadilla.0

i like these myself, i am in college nd have roommates but i only cook for myself. i like them a lot because i do not have nearly enough room to keep the food i would need to cook from scratch (not to mention the time that i do not have to prepare everything by hand)0

I love them but they don't love me back. I used to live on them since they were quick and easy but a sodium restricted diet put the end to them. I would throw a can of veggies in them and have supper and lunch for 2 days. A lot easier than now when I have to cook it all from scratch and that doesn't even come close to the easy and good that they were.0

I whole heartedly dislike box meals.
Read the ingredients, it's disgusting what's in them.0 -
I know they are not great for you but I do have a few favorites that I throw into my daily meals sometimes. I love hot pockets for instance.0

I like them. The Lean Cuisine ones are pretty delicious honestly. I prefer home-cooked meals of course, but on days when I'm working (I work from 3pm-11pm), I can't really have that, so I usually eat leftovers or box meals.0

i like the lean cuisine meals. low cal, low fat... i think they taste good, and they are quick! thats my problem, is im always in a hury, im a wife, mother of 5, full time student... i need to be able to get my meals in quick, or else im making the first stop at del taco for a mucho macho something... DEFINATLEY DONT NEED THAT!!! lol0

most of them are way too small for a "meal" for me.
Cheaper to make stuff up in bulk and put in fridge.
Oh & the macros are pretty terrible on most of them for anyone attempting to get anywhere near 1g/lb of bw protein.0
