    I eat them and Healthy Choice. I always look for the lowest sodium and carb ( always one of the Chicken Dinners) . I also add extra frozen no sodium Veggies to make them more filling. For me they are great when I don't have anything else or don't feel like cooking.

    IMO they taste like school cafeteria food. Not very appealing at all.

    I have lean cuisines from time to time. The Spaghetti and the Garlic chicken spring rolls are my favorite

    Those are my two favs too!

    I used them to help me get portion sizes under control. Also, they still serve for a quickie with a side of frozen steamed veggies. They're the perfect fit for my 3am dinner when working overnights! One of them and some fruits, nuts, and yogurt as snacks and I'm good to go. Just drink lots of water with the sodium.

    I haven't had one for years because I think they are expensive for the amount of food you actually get.

    I make larger batches of good stuff, divide it into containers and freeze it myself.

    I used to eat them all the time, and I lost weight! That said, I'm now more concerned with being healthy than I am in just being thin, so the nutrition in the foods I choose is more important to me. Now I eat REAL FOOD, food that grew from the the ground or swam in the water (I eat very little meat..I just don't really enjoy it, NOT saying that it's necessarily bad for you) most of the time and almost NO processed food. I just think it's healthier. I set aside time to prepare my own "clean cuisines" each weekend and take them to work same as I used to the lean cuisine! It takes more time, but it's a better option for me and I get sooooo much more food for the same amount of calories and way more nutrition!

    I think if portion control is a huge problem they can be a quick fix but... I really think you should limit them or try to wean yourself off of them. Maybe 3x a week tops. Also try adding your own frozen veggies to stretch them so you dont feel hungry and absolutely look for ones that are lower in sodium and fat .

    Does anyone have any suggestions for easy to prepare meals that can be frozen like Lean Cuisines? I like the Lean Cuisines because of the variety.

    I prefer the Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers, but I've used the Lean Cuisine too. Fill you up and are better than a lot of the fast crap that's you might choose, especially on graveyard shift.
    Stand by for the nutri-nazis though, I'm sure they will tell you how "toxic" they are.

    I don't eat frozen often (too expensive) but I like the Healthy Choice Steamers too. I find them very filling and a good alternative for fast food. Way more balanced than a big mac or something. I just wish there wasn't so much packaging.
