    High sodium, and they aren't very filling but good for a late lunch. I usually go for the ones lower in calories.

    you can usually make a healthier version of them with less calories, less sodium and tastier if you made them homemade. they really do taste like they came out of a box.

    edited to add: I've never found them very filling for the amount of calories.

    i am not a big fan... but the amy's brand tends to have some pretty good tasting ones! i like those as microwave meals, but they are a bit on the pricey side

    Edible, yes.

    Satisfying, no.

    umm, i pretty much live on lean cuisine dinners. they have quite a few i like. they are high in sodium but for me it's a quick and easy meal and i love the fact that i know how many calories i'm getting (since someone else has already measured it all out for me).

    I love the chicken spring rolls. Other than that, though, I don't find them filling or very tasty. They don't have a lot of veggies and of course the sodium is through the roof. When I'm looking for a quick frozen meal, I always start with the Kashi meals. I really like the pesto pasta primavera and the black bean enchilada.

    I just stocked up on a bunch of those and the WW Smart Ones. I'm starting to structure my eating more so I don't have to think about what to eat............helps keep me in line. I'm eating a packet of Quaker Weight Control oatmeal for breakfast or the Heart Healthy Bananas and Nuts and then one of those frozen meals for lunch. I find I do need snacks in between my meals for sure so that's where I'm getting my fruit and veggies.

    I have a few of these in my freezer for those emergency situations where I forgot to pack a lunch for work and don't have time. I would rather eat one of those than go out to eat and have something way worse. Just very high in sodium is all. But they're not really that bad.

    Stay away from the oriental meals and the mexican cuisine. ish! Teeny tiny meals. Not satisfyinging. Healthy Choice steamers are lots better for filling me up and taste wise.
