What's your opinion on Lean Cuisines?

Nay. I used to eat them when I was on Weight Watchers because a lot of processed foods are supported by them. On WW, you just worry about "Points". Not about the true nutrition of the food like on MFP.

The sodium is just blegh. I've learned since then to just take the time to cook my own meals and I'm seeing more weight loss that way.

Sure, if you're in a tight spot and need a quick fix it's not the worst choice for you. But I wouldn't eat them all the time.

Personally, I love Lean Cuisine.. It is convenient for me to throw one in a bag for lunch and I don't have to worry about cooking or measuring anything. And there is such a variety that I never get bored with eating.

If it were not for Lean Cuisine I would probably starve. They have not killed me yet so I suppose they are safe to eat. : )

I really think these are a personal choice (like most everything when it comes to losing weight). I do eat them - not everyday, but I do. I keep them in my freezer for the nights I don't feel like cooking, have to work late or am simply busy, busy, busy. I don't see them as anything bad - yes, they have preservatives in them and higher sodium, but there are worst things out there to eat in my opinion. And if they help someone master portions or help keep someone on track - they are worth it.

I have a lean cuisine every so often but i like the healthy choice cafe steamers and the ones full of veggies better. They have a higher nutritional value percentage and lower sodium. More expensive though obviously lol my nutritionist taught me what to read when looking at these packages.

I've lost 95% of my weight during the 4 months by eating mainly Weight Watchers food, asmentioned they are great for portion control, nutritional info availability and variety when you don't have time to cook or just can't be bothered.

I just drink lots of water to offset the sodium. Been working ok for me.

Not my cup of tea, but if they taste good to you, satiate you, and fit into your calorie and macros, then why not.

Where is the' "That was filling" said no one ever about lean cuisine ' gif when you need it?

I want real food in my food. There are so many awesome vegetables, nuts, dairy products, lean protein and spices to choose from that I could never go back to eating processed meals like Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice.

I respect the fact that they're "quick and easy" but the great flavors of the foods I eat are light years ahead of the stuff that comes out of a box.

I'm sure the calories are fine in these pre-prepared meals but I can't stick to an eating plan if I sacrifice taste and nutrition and there's simply plenty of both in real food.

On the fence.

I ate them a LOT when hubby was deployed (it was just me and the baby, no time or energy to cook a real meal!). I lost all my baby weight quickly. It's hard to cook for one person and these do fit in nicely with portion control.

I think every now and then, it's not bad. But if you have time on the weekends or whatever to cook up a big batch of something healthy and freeze it into individual portions, it would be much better for you.

I feel if you are going to buy pre-made meals Lean Cuisine are one of the two best. Weight Watcher meals being the second one. Then you do have to watch the sodium levels They have to add sodium and other preservatives to help them with their shelf life. If you have the time do what I plan on doing take one day a week precook all the items for the week put them in containers or zip lock bags and heat them from there. In the long run it's going to be cheaper and definitely more healthful. I will know what is in my foods. Good luck on what ever you decide to do.

It's a great quick meal for me every now and then, good variety, but mindful of the sodium.

I use to eat them a lot until I realized that they aren't very healthy. They may be low in calories, but because they are processed not the best unfortunately.

nay. They're so much saltier than everything else I eat and - I'm sorry- I think they taste gross. I'm a better cook than that.

A friend of mine - who is almost as wide as she is tall (she's a very small woman) buys them by the case and ONLY eats them.
