Frozen Dinners?

How many use Frozen Dinners like SmartOnes... on a regular basis? I'm thinking the portions are just about right. Trying to get lunch ideas for work.

I'm a vegetarian and the hubs is not. I work full-time and go to college full-time. We probably eat frozen dinners 3 nights a week because I'm either to tired to cook or just don't have the time.

Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine now have low-sodium and low-fat options. And lucky for me, both are now making vegetarian dinners. Of course, hubs wants meat in his, lol.

I'd suggest that you read the labels for sodium, calories, fat (including saturated fat), sugar and Fiber. I've picked up some that look good and healthy. But, when I looked at the nutrition thing on the box it became clear that what looked good was practically a frozen 'heart attack in a box.'

If you like butternut squash, try Lean Cuisine's Butternut Squash ravioli. It's one of my favorites.

I use frozen dinners but don't fret over whether they are "diet" or not. Just get the ones we want. Although usually I do a more atkins-esque diet and those just don't fill the bill.

I have lots of frozen dinners and they range from "diet" ones to regular meals. The portion sizes are perfect for me right now. I also have some of those heat and eat Pasta meals with the sauce too! Yum!
