Atkins frozen meals

[Chad cool 31]

Have y'all tried the Atkins frozen meals. They have lots of Protein very little sugar and carbs. Sodium is little high but I real do know what is good with sodium. Walmart has them $3.84

I've not tried them, but it sounds like you read the label so you know what's in it. I wouldn't eat them all the time but I imagine they'd be good for a quick lunch.< /p>

Chad - I stopped at Walmart tonight and saw that they had these. I was excited until I saw the sodium. I'm no expert on how much is too much but one of the Breakfast meals had over 1000mg. I googled and according to the American heart association they said your intake should be less than 2000mg per day. I left the Atkins back on the freezer shelf. I thought it was way too much even though I'm a big fan of the Atkins diet because high Protein works well for me.

I did some frozen meals for a while early in this journey because the were small and mostly Protein, When I discussed with my WLS he quickly stopped me, he stated they are too high in sodium. I still think frozen meals like this are ok and a better choice than reaching for something unhealthy. Just watch for retaining Fluid. Enjoy.

Cool thanks for the info. I'm going to consider not eating them because I can't find healthy things to cook that are fast and easy.

I cook something big once or twice a week and eat for my meals. Lucky I don't get bored. Chilli, stews and make up stuff etc. That way I control the sodium. I also use frozen onions, peppers ect to cook with.

I also cook a larger batch of dinners and freeze the leftovers for another night or two within the month.

All prepared foods have extra sodium as preservative. You would be much better off to cook your own meals. Another good source of Protein is many groceries cell pre-roasted chickens, Simply de-bone them and store in serving size amounts.

It's my experience that the roasted chickens are loaded with sodium. Many are injected with it for flavor when cooked. Google sodium in store bought roasted chickens. Lots of info comes up.
