    I eat them, or Healthy Choice, every day for lunch. Easy, low cal, and usually only 25% of my daily sodium. It's better than going out for lunch all the time.

    I do this as well. I consider it harm reduction-because if I haven't had time to cook large quantities on the weekend, it's a lean cuisine or I go to the cafe at work. At least this way I know my calories, etc. I supplement the meal with veggies, maybe a sandwhich thin. I will go for a few weeks like this, and then get sick of them and move on to something else, like mason jar salads.

    I usually eat 1-2 weekly when I want to be really good or slightly under caloric goal. My favorite is the Turkey with veggies.

    I've found them rather high in sodium and not filling. But of course, if the option is to hit the local fast-food place too often, they're certainly a better choice, and they're easy and convenient which is always a plus when you're hungry and want something quickly.

    Perhaps in the beginning it makes sense to have one frozen Lean Cuisine meal a day that you can easily heat up in the microwave.
    Supplement with a green salad or some fruit.
    Soon you will be ready to cook a big batch of pasta on a Saturday, weight it, label it, freeze it, and easily re-heat it during the week.
    Buy some handy dandy containers that stack well in the freezer and fridge.

    Learning to take the time to care for yourself is worth everything. :)

    Sooo well said
