They are on sale this week at my local store...never tried one but I figure they will help me control portions. Which ones do y'all recommend, and which ones are not so good? I got two today (Hunan beef and a chicken flatbread sandwich) I had the beef for lunch and it was good. I thought I'd be hungry afterward, but I'm really not. I'm pleasantly surprised.

    I heard they were high in sodium but I don't eat any other salt except what may be in those kinds of meals and they didn't taste too bad and left me feeling full. I got the chicken fettuccini alfredo and the french bread pepperoni pizza. They were really good!

    I really like the flatbread sandwiches, chophouse steak (I think that is the name) was my fave.

    I like the ones that have the "lightly breaded chicken breast" in them.... there's one that comes with a cheese lasagne with it, another that is a parmesan chicken with spaghetti & zucchini, and a third that is herb roasted with chunky potatoes that I can remember liking offhand.

    I really like the chicken parmagiana, but they are high in sodium. One once in a while with a lot of water is my practice. I find them really filling too.

    I look for the ones under 300 cals. I usually have the turkey tenderloin, stuffing and cinnamon apples ones, baked chicken & whipped potatoes one, and the turkey & green beans one. Sometimes I'll splurge and get one of the pizzas... but the flat bread panini ones are really good. I like the meatloaf one. The ravioli one is a little on the skimpy side... makes you feel cheated.

    I like the Hunan Beef, Spinach & mushroom Pizza and the BBQ - Recipe Chicken Pizza!! All very tasty.!! I usually add a side of veggies with the meals. Great for portion control and watching calories.

    The mac and cheese is really good! I also like the pizzas, and the cheese raviolis. I try to buy things I know my husband will eat...for example he will make mac and cheese (kraft) with extra butter and milk and then I will eat my lean cusine. This way, I don't feel like I am missing out on something!

    My favorite by far is the pepperoni pizza! Not the french bread one, the round pizza. Excellent!

    I am a big fan of most of them: the Mexican and Italian foods are some of my favorites. The butternut squash ravioli is my #1.

    The seafood ones are so-so. I have had a few shrimp-and-pasta ones where the shrimp was particularly brine-y.

    Also try Smart Ones or Healthy Choice meals to mix things up a bit. (Plus, you can usually find one of the three on sale and stock up.)

    I love Lean Cuisine! Their Butternut Squash Ravioli is so amazing. The only thing I don't like is the Fettucini Alfredo because it's too peppery for me.

    I second the butternut squash ravioli, veggie egg roll and flatbread sandwiches.

    I also love the panini sandwiches, the sesame chicken (yum!), and the spinach and mushroom pizza.

    I have used lean cuisines for years as my quick meal. I really don't think you can go wrong with them. Obviously, they are not for every day, but good for when you need something quick.
