Are WW Smart Ones a bad idea?

I noticed the WW Smart Ones are on sale and I thought about getting some for work since my lunch can be a mess and I usually run late grabbing things at the last moment. I'm just not sure if they are the way to go??

    I know a lot of people swear by them, they aren't my favorite. If you like them just be careful of the sodium.

    I don't think they are a bad idea at all - better than vending machine crap or fast food! I use them a lot if I know I'm going to be too busy to pack a lunch in the morning.

    I personally LOVE them!! They have great flavor and have yet to find one that I don't like. I usually had a side of veggies or a salad to go with it, just to give me enough calories for the meal. However, any frozen meal tends to be high in sodium, so if you are keeping an eye on your sodium intake, be careful. Enjoy!

    like anything, not good if you overdo it, like eating it every day would be too often. But sometimes, the convenience outweighs the sodium hit. They pack a wallop!

    a couple times per week won't hurt ya!

    Not the worst, but not the best. I used to be an avid SmartOne-er, but not only was I always starving after lunch, but I noticed I wasn't losing any significant weight. What the hell right? My super health conscience friend and coworker informed me that frozen meals like that are packed with preservatives and chemicals, nothing very nutritious about 'em. So I made the switch to packing my own lunch with fresh ingredients, usually using leftovers from my now healthy dinners. Shortly after I switched, I realized I was actually full after lunch while consuming way less calories (SmartOnes are pretty high in cals for the portion size) and above all, I FEEL better (no more gunk in my body).

    In a pinch, its okay. But I wouldn't eat them day in and day out.

    I keep a couple in my freezer for days when nothing else sounds good or for when I've got too much of a deficit I need to fill in. I don't think they should be the cornerstone of your diet, but for occasional meals I think they are fine!

    I think they are ok in moderation, I have a few now and then. The carbs run a little high for my preferences but I think they were good at helping me learn better portion control

    I eat them occasionally, like the nights I get home late from running class or the gym, or when I just need something quick for lunch.

    What? I love them! :) They have the perfect portion of food you need and tastes good. You can still eat pastas and rice meals with veggies with these and not go over your calories good luck!

    I like em for work....its a no-brainer and I like that. I just make a pact to myself that I will drink extra water to wash out the sodium...II also make a deal to myself that I won't eat em at home cuz I strive to cook healthy and eat fresh. They're not as bad as people try to say! Not everyone can be in CHEF mode all the time!
