    I stay away from the frozen prepared meals because they are high in sodium and they are never filling enough for me. I wish I had the space and discipline to cook out my lunches. I'm living with family and we have 5 adults sharing the space of one fridge!

    They're okay, but honestly never filling enough for me. When I bring my own lunches in, I end up eating less calories but my tummy's full. Not so with Lean Cousine (or other frozen lunches)

    I know in theory this is bad, but the past two months have been super stressful on me and I've been relying on lean cuisines rather than trying to cook anything. A lot of times I eat one for lunch and one for dinner. At dinner I heat up veggies and add those in. I've lost 15lbs and I'm at goal weight and feeling pretty good. In the past I dealt with stress by over eating. This is definitely an improvement.

    There are a couple flavors that I've found that I actually really like. I keep them on hand at home for "emergencies" ie: the rest of the fam is ordering pizza for dinner.

    The ones that I enjoy all happen to be Healthy Choice brand, but same idea.

    ETA: I almost always add steamed (or frozen) broccoli to bulk it up!

    Just like any bad thing, it won't hurt to splurge on one once in a while but everyday... no way.
