Lean Cuisine

I eat the weight watchers ones and they are actually pretty good. And yes, the sodium is a little high but I don't have much else with lots of sodium so it balances out.

Good luck to you!

I eat them everyday for lunch...but i also push more than 90 oz of water a day....it seems to work for me!

I've never had any frozen dinner/meal from the store. I usually cook extra on weekends, divide into portions in tupperwares and there I have my frozen meals for emergencies.

I like knowing what's in my food, and store frozen meals sound way too processed.

I eat them everyday for lunch as well...I drink 80 to 100 ounces of water a day and I don't eat much else with alot of sodium so I stay under 2300 mgs a day. It's working for me :happy:

I take them to work at the Mall 4 x a week. It is a much better choice than food court selectionss full of fat. I pair them with fresh fruit, water with crystal light and a piece of string cheese for extra protien. I find they have helped me stay on track and not give in to the pizza, shakes and other choices I would have made, not to mention the money I save buying them on sale!

i prefer healthy choice over lean cuisine...
i dont like the food quality of the lean cuisine.



but if you like it then go ahead. but i would only save it for when you dont have time to cook and you need something quick and easy calorie count for a meal. but other than that just avoid it all together.

I eat them every now and again (having one tonight for dinner, actually). I'd say maybe once a week. Usually on a night when hubby's not home and I don't want to do any cooking. Most have about 300 cal. / 500 mg sodium, which is good for a frozen meal. I try to pair it with a fresh veggie salad of some sort to balance it out. There are lots of them without preservatives, too...

Last year, I decided to eat them 3 times a day while working at an art camp. So that plus exercise at night helped me lose about 20 pounds in 3 months. However, when I stopped eating them I gained the weight back. So, if you want to keep the weight off, I suggest eating 2 a day and a regular meal after you lose the weight you want to lose.

I don't like the taste. When I'm tracking calories to lose weight and I'm limited to 1500 a day, I want every single calorie to taste good.

I keep a few on hand for emergency lunches/dinners, but the sodium content is extrememly high. I wouldn't use them for everyday eating. Remember to always drink plenty of water too.

Ditto!

Same here. Maybe once a week or every other week I'll have one.

This is exactly how I use them as well. My hubby doesnt dine with me on Sunday so if I'm not feeling like cooking I usually will have one for a quick dinner, but I also pair it with a salad or something. And of course drink plenty of water. :flowerforyou:

I don't think any of us would chose frozen dinners in the past, but we live in a hectic, crazy time and don't always have time to cook ahead our meals.
I do like to be prepared as much as I can but with 4 kids and working full time they come in handy when I have to grab something for a meeting and know I don't have time.
I know they have alot of sodium but everything does now a days. Eating out is packed with sodium.
However, if you are healthy and do not have blood pressure or other health issues I think it is perfectly fine to eat them when needed.
It is also a good idea to pair and apple, carrot sticks or salad with it. That way it gives fills you up more and provides fresh nutrients.
Good luck with your decision.
Our opinions are just that. Our opinions. It is whatever works for you that will help you be healthier!

You could do a lot better...but you could also do a lot worse.

I ate them frequently when I first started losing weight; they were very convenient and I loved the built-in portion control. Eventually I got tired of them and realized I could make them myself with better ingredients and more nutrients.

I used to eat them for lunch and now I don't even know what I was thinking. They all taste like crap, are high in sodium and it's better for me diet wise and financially to buy groceries and make my lunch.

i ate the healthy choice cafe steamers for 2 months for lunch everyday and still had lots of success with weight loss. I try to mix it up more now just to keep lunch interesting

I definitely love this and they are a good choice for taste, cals and for a meal, good on the salt content usually between 300-500mg. I stock up when they're on sale and they're cheaper AND healthier than me getting 2 crunchy fresco tacos at Taco Bell with A LOT less sodium.
