    I do both. I personally LOVE Healthy Choice steamer meals. They are very cheap $2.50 each at Walmart and they taste awesome. Top Chef series winners create them. There are some others but these steamer meals are pretty filling to me and low in calories, sodium and fat. I always felt the smart ones and lean cuisine meals were too small. I mean as an example I had Beef in a merlot sauce with potatoes and string beans and it was delish. Also i love pasta and they have a grilled chicken with raviolis. I am very busy so i like that they are very fast to make. I would say whatever works for you and has good nutrients is a A+

    I do eat frozen dinners from time to time, but I find it easier and better to cook for myself. A meal takes 3-5 min to heat up, and I can grill a chicken breast and steam broccoli in 5 min.

    Be careful of the sodium, it tends to be high in those prepackaged meals. you may be retaining some water.

    This.

    No they aren't necessarily bad - I will grab one of those in a pinch if I'm short on time and I do keep 2 or 3 on hand at home for times when I get in late and am tired or have to do a lot of running around on the week and and need a fast lunch, stuff like that. I don't like to have them as a habit though because they are not filling enough for me and the sodium content is too high for such a small portion.

    If it's convenient and it works, it's probably not bad IF you make sure to drink lots and lots of water each day. The high sodium no doubt causes retention so you'll want to flush that out. "Water flushes water" as my sister tells me. Its weird but true.

    I eat them everyday. I love them. I haven't had any issues losing weight. I am picky about which ones i pick though.
