    They are gross and unfilling. Can you lose weight eating them? Yes. I know a few people who have. But losing weight eating delicious and nutritious food is so much more satisfying.

    I eat them probably once a week. I love them!

    I eat one for lunch 5 days a week. I prefer lean cuisine. They seem to have more tasty ones that I like. But I've eaten ww and healthy choice too. They all seem to be high in sodium and not great nutritionally but great on cals and time saving. I have a 4 yr old and I work full time plus I try to work out daily. I don't really have time or money to fix daily lunches to take to work daily. It just works best for me. I figure it's better than fast food everyday which is what I was eating. I would like to eat fresh food instead and maybe I will one day. But, right now I'm just trying to stay on track w cals, water, & exercise. I do fix fresh dinners & weekend meals most of the time.

    Btw, I started my journey on 1/17/2012 and have lost 31 lbs so I don't think they hurt me. Good luck!

    Their not terrible... But I prefer Amy's if I'm going to eat frozen meals. They are usually vegetarian or vegan high in protein and free of preservatives and artificial crap.

    Will eating lean cuisines for lunch hurt your weight loss goals? No, provided you continue a deficit.

    Best of luck!

    I eat an Amy's frozen meal 4 days a week for work due to limited time and lack of choices. It doesn't hinder my weight loss. I just watch my sodium intake for the rest of the day.

    I like them, and I have them for breakfast and dinner every day at the moment. 200 to 300 cals per meal. The smart ones have some good breakfast options. I prefer healthy choice or lean cuisine for dinners. I drink 10 glasses of water a day, regardless. I cannot imagine that I will continue to eat them so much once I move into a maintenance calorie mode. The important thing is to try a wide variety and settle on ones you like because some are yucky, but some are tasty. Good luck!

    For everyone claiming they are full of preservatives, on the lean cuisine box right in from of me it clearly says no preservatives. It also has 18 g of protein. When your a full time pre med student who also works, sometimes the high sodium is worth it. Just drink more water, which you should be doing anyways. When I can't afford big meals, these aren't bad at $1.50 a piece. Also, it's better than anything we have on campus.

    I used to bring lean cuisine's to work for lunch every day and eat them at my desk. I stopped doing that due to the high sodium content. Now I make sandwiches and eat them in the park outside my office bldg. I enjoy my lunch break a lot more now.

    I always keep one or two in the fridge at work in case I forget to bring something or if I get stuck and can't leave to go get something. I do watch the sodium on some of them and I also try to keep the calories at 350 or under
