I have these for lunch pretty often when I'm in a hurry and was wondering which ones you all like the best.
My favorites so far are the roasted turkey with apples and spaghetti with mushrooms and basil,
and I like all of the pizzas.

Today I had the chicken, spinach and mushroom panini and it was just ok.
I'm wanting to try some new varieties.
Thanks!

    Once I found out how much salt was in frozen meals, I had to wean myself off them. I used to love the sesame chicken and the lemon chicken, though.

    I know alot of frozen foods have alot of salt, but I thought the lean c. meals cut that out for the most part... I thought they used ms's dash or something..

    I like all the Spa Selection ones. The ones with baby blue around the outside of the boxes. They're to die for and have lots of fiber and whole grains. I usually pair it with 1/2 cup melon balls. Yummmm!

    I like the Deluxe French Bread Pizza, The Three Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni Bowl and a lot of the spa selections. The Thai chicken one with brown rice is tasty!

    OMG I had the Rigatoni stuffed with 3 cheeses and it was so good. It is loaded with crispy veggies and tastes like something I would cook at home.

    It's hard to choose my favorite. I like to eat them for lunch at work. As for the sodium, I've become an avid label reader since I joined MFP so I'm very careful with what I buy at the grocery store so I never go over my sodium allowance.

    I do like the sweet and sour chicken. And the pizzas. And the paninis. . . . :bigsmile:

    I second whoever said the enchiladas and mexican rice, whichever one has the white sauce on it though. It's GREAT!

    Seasame chicken tastes real good to me. Sodium is a real problem with all the processed foods. The only thing that I add salt to is Corn on the Cob and if I have homemade fries I will add some to that. That being said in the last 30 days I had 6 days below 2,000 2 days at 5,000 and the rest average out to around 2500. I eat a fair amount of pre-packaged foods which is high in the sodium.

    If you have a history of Heart disease or high blood pressure it really should be one of the items you keep track of.

    Oh, my favorite is the sailsbury steak and mac n cheese. I had it today for lunch. It makes me feel like I am getting a good meal at lunch and for only 280 cal.
