dgoerlitz 96 Posted October 11, 2013 How much Protein and how many calories and carbs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ASKSARAH - Sleeve 256 Posted October 11, 2013 I dislike anything in a box or package. I shop on the exterior of the grocery store. the longer the shelf life the shorter the human life. I typically eat things that spoil. If it has about 5 or less ingredients it goes into my body. If there are so many ingredients and I cannot pronounce most of them it does not touch my lips. That's just me. I am sure you can make your own frozen type sammiches with a dough that has less carbs and better fillings and seal it with a sammich cut and seal device. I would defiantly re-evaluate your frozen food choice. But if you like them then go for it. 1 dgoerlitz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBWOMAN 9 Posted October 11, 2013 How much Protein and how many calories and carbs? I know some has 8g to 9g of protein but I don't know about carbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgoerlitz 96 Posted October 11, 2013 Frozen Entrees also tend to have a lot of sodium. Just some things to look for. I find it much easier to just buy some lunchmeat and cheese and make a few roll ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AvaFern 3,516 Posted October 11, 2013 Lean Pockets are not actually good for you (unfortunately, because I really like the pretzel bread crust ones), but like anything else if it's something you enjoy and you eat in moderation, then why not continue to enjoy it? At two years out, you know how many calories works for you and the types of nutrients you need...if Lean Pockets fit into you diet every once in awhile, then I say enjoy! 1 JessFinch reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.......... 129 Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Actually, come to think of it and you'd asked, I think the Pockets are lean on fillings and chewy, I won't eat two but am tempted each time as well as those springs rolls which are beefier in the middle for me, Edited October 13, 2013 by JKG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
