    Kahlua cocoa coffee cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory = :heart: Half of one is equal to the Wal Mart cheesecake posted, but so much better! I haven't had a Lean Pocket in ages, but I never felt satisfied after eating one.

    And thanks for the couple of RUDE COMMENTS - makes me feel very welcome as a new member on this site :happy:


    wow... who is being rude?? i read over all the comments, and nothing came close to being rude.

    I didn't see any rude comments either - people questioning, indicating perhaps the number was carbs not cals.

    Actually there were a lot of rude comments. They've been removed.

    wow, really?

    I don't care if it's 200 calories or 20, it's still cheesecake! No nutritional value whatsoever. Now as for the lean pocket, I'm not gonna lie I love having the ham and cheese ones in the freezer for those occasions when I need a meal on the go, but they're not something i'd recommend for a well-balanced meal. If you like hot pockets make your own with real meat, cheese, and veggies. You can use pastry crust or biscuit dough or whatever! Then freeze the pockets and heat one up when you're in a rush........ Maybe I should take me own advice and can the lean pockets.... hahah

    Honestly, who would even want to eat Walmart-brand cheesecake? If I'm going to indulge, I want high-quality or homemade, which is even better.

    Honey, you haven't been "jumped in" properly if no one has responded to your post in a rude manner. All is well, you are an official member now! (And be careful what you post from now on.) ;)

    That's why you should stay away, or try your BEST to, stay away from anything frozen and packaged like that. It's so bad for you, even though it says "lean".

    I ordered it really just to see the look on my dad's face, because he's part of the "Is that on your diet?" club. I split it with my cousin, but I seriously thought I would need to change my underwear, it was that good. Sorry, I know it's not TMI Tuesday. :wink: Anyway, there are recipes for protein cheesecakes on the site if you search the forums, even some that serve as a meal replacement. That would be much better than a Lean Pocket.

    Haha, it's all good. :) I'm going to have to look up some recipes and make a protein cheesecake one of these days. A triple chocolate or a pumpkin one, maybe. I do have to agree with you; lean pockets < cheesecake of any sort.

    there r alot of trolls on this thread. people defending lean pockets as a healthy food source?? its a processed microwave insta meal. to hate on cheese cake is unamerican. people, u can eat what u like. if u have room for it in ur daily calories. just make sure by the end of the day u fill ur micro and macro nutrient needs. i will not defend cheesecake as nutritious but how can you defend that lean pocket that been in the vending machine at work for 6 months now, lol
