lean meals

[allbeast1979 7]

Does anyone eat like lean cuisine, smart ones, or Atkins meals and which ones u think is the better ones.

Honestly? Not a fan of any of them because of the carb and sodium counts.

So whats the best quick way to get something to eat when in a rush?

Pre-boil some shrimp or eggs and have those on hand to grab quickly, almonds, greek yogurt, cheese sticks, natural Peanut Butter ... If you're talking about meals, make up big batches of things like Soups and chillis and stuff like that and pre-portion it out in 1/2 cup freezer containers (Ziploc has some - I got them at Wal Mart and Target), have grilled or boiled Protein on hand ... Are you eating raw veggies and salad yet? If so, toss some Protein on top of about 1/2-1 cup of lettuce greens and away you go.

Honestly, the first 4-6 months I don't think you can eat enough to make a frozen diet meal worth eating, but I suppose you could get 3 meals out of it.

IMHO I don't recommend it because for the first 3-4 months all you are going to get down is Protein, and maybe a bit of veg. You also aren't even going to be able to eat firm Protein for half that time. Kind of a waste of a frozen meal. As time goes on you could keep some around for emergencies, but I don't think they are a great choice. I also don't care for them, not "real" food for the most part, unless you buy Amy's or other specialty brands.

I don't like to spend a lot of time, either. I think there is another thread from several days ago with suggestions for quick foods.

As a vegetarian and someone who hates frozen meals I love Amy's!

[7 Bites_Jen 479]

I have to agree with that ^^ Amy's has some wonderful frozen meals and they're all-natural and organic.
