Ok, I'm sure someone's already posted something like this on here, but I'm kind of in a hurry and need to figure out who has the best microwave meals for calories. Should I look at low fat too?
Thanks!
Thanks!

How long? That sounds soooo good!0 -
Sorry I think I might have come off wrong, I meant like Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice?0

i eat the smart ones with pancakes and turkey sausage only has 280 calories.0

I'm sure any of them are fine from a calorie standpoint. I could never make a habit of eating them though...way too much sodium in any of them and way too many carbs. As long as it fits in your calorie goal and macros and you aren't concerned with sodium intake, I'm sure either one will do just fine.0

I don't eat them very often, but the SmartOnes are okay. I find them much more delicious than Lean Cuisine.
But, it's more affordable/healthier/delicious to just double your dinner recipes and freeze the rest for quick lunches. Lean Cuisines and the sort are like 3.99. Ridiculous.0 -
I will usually pre make my meals and put them in the freezer and bring them out to microwave. Chicken fajitas are my favorite :-D0

Personally I'm a fan of Healthy Choice or Marie Callender. You'll usually get more food for your calorie content, and they tend to taste better.
Make sure to check the calorie content before you buy!0 -
I like Kashi and Amy's meals - pretty decent nutrition and tasty. I also LOVE Evol burritos but they are high in calories - good nutrition though.0

If you're not deadset on frozen stuff - stab a sweet potato a few times, wrap in a paper towel, and nuke for 10 minutes (turn over halfway through). Stick in a TBSP of butter, some cinnamon, some brown sugar and you're golden .
For frozen, I like Lean Pockets - the meatball or the chicken/broccoli. 300 cal a piece. Also not great on sodium but awesome if you're in a rush, since silverware is completely unnecessary.0 -
Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli is surprisingly good, and only 260 calories. I've been picking it up for $2-2.50.0

Maybe not a meal but a great snack, right?0

my FAVORITE frozen meal!!!0 -
Love the Lean Cuisine frozen dinners. Generally pretty low in calories and the information is right on the front. I also like the smart ones.0

I love those meals but I'm just concern about the sodium content. It seems that everything I pick up is high in sodium. For example, I prefer Campbell s soups but Progresso advertises that it is more nutritious. So I picked up 10 cans for $11.88 from Shoprite. It;s true, the calories are less but it has a lot of sodium. I guess there is no real way to get around the sodium unless you cook from scratch. I'm not into cooking.0

Watch the labels. The sodium and/or sugar levels are high. Some are pretty high calorie content too.
It is personal preference and taste and how you want to use your calorie amounts.0 -
SMART ONES ARE SOOOOOO GOOD.0

considering what most people were eating to get on this site, I don't see why everyone has such a problem. not everyone can go clean over night and stick to it.
that being said: lean cuisine has some great fish options, also love the smart ones pizzas. i'm a picky eater so healthy choice limits my options (don't like pepers, squash, etc.)0 -
I'm from the UK, so not sure if you would have them, but although I try to avoid them like the plague now, if I do buy one I tend to go for the Marks and Spencer fuller for longer range. Although they are a little on the pricey side, they are made with proper ingredients rather than mostly flavourings and crap, they are high in protein and they are by far the best I've ever tasted.0
