Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I consider myself somewhat an expert on frozen dinners after living on then about 70% of the time for 4 years. I use a lot of Marie Callendar dinners and pot pies. They are the best I have found. They have both grilled chicken and fried chicken with corn on the cob and the best grave I have eaten in a box. They have pork chop, beef marinade tips, turkey and dressing, stew, They are different in that they will have some seasoning that has a good taste. They have cranberries in their green beans, just little touches like that make a big difference. There are about 12 dinner choices and 3 pot pies. The pot pies are nothing like the regular ones you can see the meat and veggies. They also have great PIES, yes the forbidden, but the razzleberry is so yummy. I tried meals on wheels and they were nasty, came at 11 am before I was alive for the day and had broccoli, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts every day. Now I like them but not when they have been in a box shut up for an hour, everything in there tastes like them and the smell was not good. If I cook it is a roast or turkey, I can stick in the oven and not do anything to till it is done. Then I can eat on that a few days, the small turkey breasts are good for me as I can't lift much weight. Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Since meat doesn't have any carbs, you can really eat any kind of meat/chicken/turkey/fish you want without much effect on your BGs.

As Vicki indicated, stick to lean cold cuts of any roast meat (chicken, pork, beef, turkey), or corn beef or ham etc. or fish. It's equally important to be careful of the bread you use for the sandwich - both in type and portion size. Best to use your meter to test between 60 and 90 minutes after you eat to see the result in your BGs. If it was high, then throw the top piece of bread in the bin next time.
