They are fine i moderation. I wouldn't eat them every meal. Too much sodium.ut every one in a while they should be fine.0
-
I eat smart ones that are low sodium for lunch because otherwise I wouldnt eat. I also eat Amy's Light and Lean and really like those and they are all natural and organic. Sometimes I throw a sandwich in there just for a change lol. Good Luck!0

i prefer to cook my food and that stuff has wayyyyy too much sodium...0
-
I lose weight eating Girl Scout cookies, Goldfish, and pancakes daily. It's the caloric deficit that will make you lose weight. However, the sodium will bloat you.0

I don't eat them every day but when I do I try and not to go over 600 mg of sodium. I eat pretty much what ever I want I just log it and portion it.0

as a college student, i love convenience. i eat them all the time.
the lean cuisine macaroni and cheese has a surprisingly good macro balance.
i find if you add stuff like extra veggies or GRILLED CHICKEN theyre a lot more satisfying. love them0 -
FWIW....My nephew ate alot of these types of frozen dinners as a bachelor (over the period of a year)...he was not trying to lose weight. He ended up with a doctor diagnosed vitamin deficiency. They are okay a couple of times per week, but not as a staple in your diet.0

I utilized them dieting 10 yrs ago.eating 2 a day. I added a lot of fruits and vegies . I lost 135 lbs in 6 mon. But gained it back and then some
I think a good balanced menu with a few lean cuisines when necessary is more practical and sustainable.0 -
I have a small stock of them in the freezer. I keep them if I need something to take to work for lunch (I work in an office). I try to have leftovers from dinner or something else in the house for lunch but sometimes it doesn't always work out so I have some of them on hand just in case. They're great in a pinch because at least for me it's a filling lunch that keeps the calories in check.0

The only way I would lose weight on these is if I packed them everyday and never carried money or credit cards.
I'd lose a ton of weight because I'd throw them out about 30 seconds after pulling them out of the microwave. The smells alone are nauseous.0 -
I eat them for lunch when I'm at the office. I've lost 140ish, but I wouldn't say it's because I'm eating lean cuisines and smart ones. I would say it's more because I'm NOT eating a 2000 calorie lunch before having another 2000 calories for dinner. I hate cooking and the easiest way for me to have a low calorie lunch without having to actually prepare anything is a frozen meal. They are high in sodium. Some people are sensitive to that and some aren't. I'm a big believer in do what works for you and just keep doing it until you are where you want to be.0

I used yo eat those but switched to Marie Callender and Amy's frozen meals. Much tastier.0
-
I agree with Jonnythan. There are much tastier things in the freezer. You could really easily make a bunch of healthy burritos and freeze them to eat later. Cheap, quick and tasty!0
-
As long as you're eating within your calorie goal and not eating them on top of it they work. There are a couple I actually really like.0
-
I eat them also, but I prefer to bring something left over. I have used both, here counting calories and on WW watching points. I normally do not eat these at night.0

I'm a mom too and everyone in my family of three has different dietary needs, so I end up cooking just for my vegetarian self. I make regular use of Amy's organic meals (frozen dinners, just different than the ones you listed.) I always add an extra cup or two of frozen vegetables; sometimes a little brown, red, or purple rice or quinoa. Honestly, I don't see a problem with them in moderation. They're great for when I just want a quick meal of something I'm craving on a busy day.
Since folks brought up sodium and frozen dinners, I watch my sodium levels and if I have one the meals, I don't have anything else sodium-heavy for the rest of the day. (Now that I joined this site, tracking will be so much easier!)0 -
ive had a lean cuisine or ww smart ones every day since i started this weight loss in mid-feb.0
-
They're useful for times when Im too busy to cook or whatever. As a regular thing? No thanks. Too much sodium, not enough flavor. Too expensive too.0

Never had Lean Cuisine. I doubt I ever will. BUT - Trader Joe's makes some pretty good Indian food (for what it is, not saying that it's really good, just that for microwave food it's good) and they're between 300-500 calories. I've been eating them all the time. REAL food, chicken or lamb and rice. NOM.0

I eat them for lunches at work, something easy and fast. When its my day off or we have leftovers at my house (rare thing) than I bring leftovers for lunch but usually the frozen food. Use them instead of buying fast food!0
