Even if it's not as good for me as some other choices, it is way better than the McD's I used to eat. My current favorite is the Lean Cuisine Chicken Pecan. chemistrymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285660298708376093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-47669230581231608202013-06-19T08:24:01.471-07:002013-06-19T08:24:01.471-07:00I eat that Amy's Mexican Casserole all the tim...I eat that Amy's Mexican Casserole all the time. I do frozen meals for lunch usually about 4 days a week, basically making the same prioritization decision as you. I love to cook, but I usually use the leftovers for another dinner instead of lunch. And frozen meals are quick and convenient, and I can eat them at my desk and keep right on working, and they stay good in the office freezer for weeks. My recommendation: Amy's Country Cheddar bowl. My all-time fave.

I've actually started packing a cooler for my car bc i was eating out sooo much. it was too expensive & even "trying" to be healthy isn't. i must say, those all look awful. sorry! epsecially the "top chef" rated healthy choice. Top Chef should be appalled!

I've had good luck with the Chana Masala, tamales, and bibimbap. I think I've had that Amy's Mexican Bowl before too -- it's delish!<br /><br />Good job on reaching your weight loss goal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-30075698704705254802013-06-11T13:14:26.648-07:002013-06-11T13:14:26.648-07:00I really feel the same way about the frozen foods....I really feel the same way about the frozen foods. You are correct about the Evol mac & cheese, I think it was actually a bit more than 400, like 420 or 450? Compared to the mac & cheese I look at in restaurants that are delicious (AND 1600 CALORIES IN ONE MEAL???), I will take a bit more calories (in terms of a frozen meal) for something I clearly cannot ever eat guilt free EVER AGAIN in a restaurant. Which is sad, since I love mac & cheese. I try to supplement with a salad and/or veggies.<br /><br />In addition to not having the "time" to prepare a nice, healthy lunch, I JUST AM TOO LAZY AND I DO NOT WANT TO. So. There's that. Plus, I guess, for weight loss purposes, I at least KNOW what I'm getting instead of guessing?<br /><br />Congrats on your weight loss. You are kicking this game right in the ass!!Beckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260238987157763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992448392811623347.post-61054966586868800502013-06-11T12:46:01.507-07:002013-06-11T12:46:01.507-07:00I love your honest reviews, they are great. I'...I love your honest reviews, they are great. I'm always disappointed in frozen meals like these. It sucks that I'm such a good cook, sometimes. ;) That said, I do enjoy the occasional Hot Pocket (might be because I don't know how to make those myself).Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212228308225991239noreply@blogger.com
