Last question :)

Are any of you able to eat lean cuisines? I have three little kids and I don't ahve time to be making me something different everytime I cook for them, so I figured I would drink lots of shakes (which I love) and was hoping that when I couldn't eat what they were eating, I owuld have a lean cuisine.

I take Lean Cuisines or their equivalent(Smart Ones, Healthy Choice, etc.) to work all the time for lunch when I don't have time to whip up tuna salad or something else. Some people don't think it's good due to sodium, etc., but I think it is better than so many other things I could put down my throat! It is all measured and usually has a serving or 2 of veggies, so I say go for it.

I may eat a lean cuisine or similar if its takeaway for dinner, but that's not often.

My kids arent so little anymore (11, 9 and 4) but honestly, I was always too lazy to make different meals so they learned to eat what we ate from a really early age - and I take the view that if I oughtnt to be eating what they are - if its full of fat, sugar or salt - then they shouldnt be eating it either. We just have healthy meals that the whole family can eat.

Not that I'm at all critical of a lean cuisine, but really, you have to learn to blend this in with your family and make your family diet healthy, you cant live a lifestyle of eating differently to them.

Sure, lots of people eat them. There is a South Beach one that I really like.
It's chicken with some sort of spaghetti sauce on it with broccoli. It's really good. Just try to get one that doesn't have a lot of pasta, rice noodles, etc.
