Lean Cuisines?

I was just wondering how many people on this board can eat lean cuisines? I am tired of mixing up food/cooking/preparing etc. I am thinking about doing LC for lunch and dinner? Can anyone get them down...had success?

Yes they work well for me. I usually get meatloaf or turkey with a veggie or mashed potatoes. The chicken or pasta does not always work for me. They are great for keeping your calorie count down.

I often bring LC's to work, as it's an easy and inexpensive thing to have for lunch. I find that as long as I eat them very slowly (like with everything) and chew a lot, that I don't have any problems. Plus they are tasty and make me feel like I'm cheating, even though I'm not. Lastly they are the perfect size, I find myself totally full after I finish one, if not before.

However, I would advise not to have them for lunch and dinner regularly. They do have a lot of sodium, and are obviously very processed foods.

They work well for me as well. I try to not eat them a lot but they are really nice to grab for work. They have a lot of variety so I don't get bored easily with them. Also, it's nice to have them for lunch because it makes me feel like I'm eating a "normal" meal and therefore everyone's eyes aren't on me because I'm not eating much.

I eat them a lot as well. the chicken parm is pretty high in protein (over 20 grams). My favorites are the BBQ Chicken Pizza and the sesame chicken though. I used to love the chicken club panini, but have a bit of trouble keeping it down lately.

I too, bring them to work for lunch.

I love the sesame chicken as well.

I eat them a couple of times a week. I too wouldn't eat them for lunch and dinner because of the high sodium.
I think they're great, lots of variety, portion control and EASY!!

If I find that it isn't enough to fill me I always have frozen broccoli florets in the freezer and toss those in as well. I stay away from the pasta based meals though, those carbs kill me!

I buy the Weight Watchers Smart Ones. They are the perfect size for me to eat some for lunch and the rest later in the afternoon. And they are goooooooooooooooooood.

I love them for lunch! I buy the Smart One & the Lean Cuisine. The LC has a great SPA line as well. Lighter in fat etc.... I hate when I am at work and I have to try and figure out what the heck to eat. I have to order a whole (HUGE) sandwich to eat only perhaps 1/2! The frozen meals give me the right portions and great variety.

Yes, I buy whatever brand is on special, and keep a few in the freezer for when I cook the family something that is not especially wonderful for my band...
They work just fine for me!

My doc told me no microwave. And I do seem to have more problems eating things from the microwave. I can heat things (except meat) just a bit and do ok, but to fix a whole frozen meal...it just wont work.

I make wraps or pita sandwiches for work. There are so many kinds of wraps and the variety of things you can put in one keeps me from getting too bored. If I do take leftovers from home, such as some kind of meat of chicken, or like today quesidillas, I heat them in the toaster oven we have in the break room.

Lean Cuisines are a great alternative to takeaway or a quick meal but eating them for lunch and dinner every day is not healthy - you need fresh food, not stuff that comes in a box.
