    aren't they like 300 calories per pocket?

    i'd rather make a sandwich for less, and more filling.

    Yes, the Jim Gaffigan bit on the hot pocket is great. I also have lean pockets in the frig for an emergency. And, I also wonder if I ate it or rubbed it on my face.

    Hahahah.....this really made me laugh for some reason....I think because you said you were going to get it from a gas station (and I still don't know why I find it funny!)!

    its a processed food, which means lots of sodium. I would say no.

    Once every long while when you're hungry and it's convenient? Sure.

    Every day? Probably not. Too much fat and too much salt.

    Most Hot Pockets are around 250 calories and have better macros (more protein, less carbs & fat) than most Lean Cuisine type dinners. So they're not exactly GOOD for you, but they're not all that horrible, either.

    And I :heart: Jim Gaffigan. "Have you tried the new Hot Pocket Hot Pocket? It's a Hot Pocket inside a Hot Pocket. Tastes just like a Hot Pocket!!!"

    Probably because of signs like this.

    The only thing funnier than Gaffigan's bit on Hot Pockets is his take on the Cinnabon! Kills me every time!

    But yeah, I can't give you any advice, I have a Lean Cuisine meal in the nuker right now. For me it depends on what my calories look like for the day (am I running low or have some to spare) and how lazy I feel at the moment. I just got back from exercising about an hour ago. I hurt and don't feel like doing anything but walking back and forth to the kitchen, so ... frozen crap it is!!

    You can get good stuff at most gas stations. Our 7-11's have hard boiled eggs, cheese sticks, yogurt, nuts, power bars, granola bars, etc. Try to choose something else. Although sometimes when I am starving I will get a lean pocket.

    :sick: I would say no based simply on taste and texture.

    Short answer - It depends. How have you been eating over the past couple of days? Once in a while, Yes. Every day, No.

    Plus, it is probably not as bad as that Monster in your profile pic :)

    I was just coming here to post the hot pocket Jim Gaffigan thing. LOL "Why not just cut out the middle man and take the hot pocket out of the wrapper and dump it DIRECTLY into the toilet."

    If you are near a gas station grab a bag of the almonds or a lot of them sell protein or special K bars now. I think those would be choices you won't regret nearly as much later tonight.:bigsmile:

    This...

    I also keep some Healthy Choice Freezer meals in my fridge/freezer at work in case I forget my lunch or just get munchy. Better that eating a candy bar that is even LESS filling and still high calorie.

    Only if you stand in line filled with shame and not making eye contact!



    Also, for what its worth, I'd eat a pizza hot pocket and a cinnabon in one meal. I judge nobodies food choices.

    I hope you Gaffigan fans check out his new stuff that came out this week! It's five bucks, and he talks a rather lot about exercise and gyms and stuff, and I was reminded of you all a lot during the show. :)
