Re: lean cuisine, etc

[Guest guest]

Hi Christi,

I'm the same, I usually don't feel like I've eaten enough after having

one of the convenience meals.

I usually make a big salad or a side of veggies and then I eat fruit for

dessert. It fills me up much better than when I eat the meal alone.

If I'm really in a pinch for time (or feeling lazy!), I have a 2 pt. bar

for dessert instead of making veggies.

lean cuisine, etc

I tried a lean cuisine cafe classics today for lunch. It was orange

beef, and came with pasta, bok choy, carrots and water chestnuts. it

had good flavor, i was really surprised, (tasted authentic as far as

chinese goes) and I am delighted that it is " portion control'

esptcially on the carboydrate count. Chinese is usually death for me

carbwise. The whole thing was 6 pts. My question is, when yall eat

these things, do you eat anything else with it, like a side of

veggies? It was really good, but not quite substantial enough for me.

I keep these on hand for emergency use only as I don't like all the chemicals in

them. But what I do is have a small salad, add a -0- pt veggie and/or depending

on my leftover points, I will have a slice of buttered bread....especially with

the turkey, dressing and gravy meal, I love to soak up the leftover gravy with

my bread.

I usually have a salad or a veggie with those or even WW meals. Usually,

tv dinners, even healthy ones are low on veggies.

Christi -

I'm seriously into having volume at my meals! When I have a Lean Cuisine or

Smart Ones or whatever, I try to choose the lowest-points ones. I often add a

huge salad with my favorite low-point dressing (2 T for 1 point) with added

cucumber and tomato for zero points. In addition I sometimes open a can of

vegetables (I love veggies!), like a can of green beans for zero points. If I'm

still hungry I'll sometimes add a toasted Wonder hamburger bun with Butter Pam

(one point for both halves). You can see that I end up with a HUGE lunch for

a total of about 8 points. As I said, I like volume!

I eat a great big salad with fat free italian dressing with it every day.

Then about an hour later I'll have a piece of fruit.

I, too, always add a salad or can of low point veggies to my lean

cuisines. Then, if I have the points, I might have a 2 pt. " dessert "

to finish it off. Then I never feel deprived.
