    I'm a huge fan of the m and s fuller for longer and count on us ranges. I'm not usually a fan of pre packed meals but they have great variety, filling meals and low calories- and some tasty desserts! A lot of people will talk about how processed food is bad but in busy lives is sometimes nessessary! Only downfall is they all seem to contain a lot of salt.

    I say go for it!

    I really like these. Not usually a fan of ready meals/salad but these have very few ingredients (and I know what they are =D) and a good protein to carbs ratio, IMO. I've tried the bolognaise, stroganoff and chicken and mushroom tagliatelle ready meals and the salmon salad and crayfish salad - all very nice. Handy for lunches on days I can't be bothered preparing something.

    I do 5:2 fasting and I often use a Fuller for Longer meal as one of my 2 meals on my fast days - helps me feel like I've eaten a proper meal and is still generally only just over 300 calories, so fits my needs on those days. They're pretty tasty too!

    They taste pretty good for ready meals, but they don't keep me fuller longer than anything else does.

    If you have to have a ready meal, M&S usually have less crap in the ingredients list. Still quite high on salt but otherwise not bad.

    Delicious :-) I have the salads for lunch quite often because I travel with work a lot. I think they are much better for me than the other fast food \ restaurant options available.

    If I have to pick a ready meal, it would be M&S. Pretty good on protein, 'normal' ingredients. The downside is the same as all ready meals though; they are nearly all very high in salt, small, and expensive.

    If you struggle with time or motivation occasionally, why don''t you take a couple of hours on a weekend and cook dinners, portion them out and freeze them? I make chilli, shepherds pie and curries, it takes me about 2 hours, then I put them into individual portions and just take one out when I need it. Home-made ready meals.
    A slow cooker is also a great tool.

    This. If you can find the time, home-made "ready meals" are the biz. I'm terrible at cooking small amounts anyway, so on nights I do cook, the stew / stirfry / curry / chilli / bolognese leftovers go into individual boxes (we've a lot of plastic takeaway boxes, which are ideal) and straight into the freezer. I can grab one of those for lunch, or can grab a couple out for dinner for the pair of us, if I'm feeling too tired to cook.
