Frozen Dinner Survey



Recommended Posts

I use these too all the time. I wrap them up in a lettuce wrap with a little shredded cheese for lunch. I also chop them up and up them in my egg beaters.

Great idea... Thanks!

I've been hooked on Morningstar Farms classic grillers. Never thought I'd be a veggie burger person but they are good! And they are thin so I can eat almost a whole one, which is 15g of Protein. Add a slice of cheese and reduced sugar ketchup.< /p>

Also, I love the chicken sausage too. Emeril's are my fave but they about 1.5x as expensive as Johnsonville. Plus, Jville microwave better. I add a little spaghetti/pizza sauce and parmesan cheese. Mmm!

Tyson and Perdue have come out with lightly breaded chicken nuggets and strips. I want to say 5-6g of carbs for 3 oz.

These three items are my most popular "quick foods." As a single woman with no kids sometimes it's hard to get motivated to cook for one person

Another tip, pack your lunch the night before! It's a difficult routine to get into but I make sure I put together a lunch-sized portion of my leftovers to just grab and go in the morning. I keep laughing cow and cheese sticks stocked in the communal fridge at work. I usually have nuts, Protein Bar and Peanut Butter in my desk. There's no one solution for everyone so just find what works for you!

Those are great ideas. I love morning star. I am okay with corn and the spicy black bean burgers are my favorite. ESP with Heinz 57. The morning star fills me with out weighing me down.

Nutritionists live in an ideal world. We live in the real world. Nutritionists' advice is a guideline. Some of us are very busy. We don't cook; I don't know how to cook. Low-cal frozen dinners with preservatives are better than my OLD eating habits.

Amen!

While this thread is about frozen dinners, I also like purchasing rotisserie chickens. By switching up sides and using different sauces I can get several tasty meals out of one.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
