Lean cuisine meals

[Total_Juddshanks]

I have gotten through my life without ever eating one of these, but doing the week's shopping, on a spur of the moment I thought I would give one a go, just curious what they are like because one of my housemates swears by them. Bought a thai red chicken curry one.

I was amazed how good it was- I was expecting something like airline food, but it was genuinely a very good meal, ready in 5 minutes, and at $6.50 far lighter on the pocket than ordering in pizza. Tasted far better than anything I have ever readi-microwaved.

Did I just luck out and get a good one, or are they all this good? Any suggestions or recommendations as to the best ones?

They are hit or miss but it really does depend on your tastes. I love the Satay noodles one but some of the others are just horrid.

Lucked out, the red thai chicken curry one is by far the best.

Quite a few of them are pretty good. I don't mind the butter chicken at all. They're stupidly expensive though, compared to cooking yourself.

I find they're great for sticking in the freezer for days when you get home late and can't be arsed cooking. As you say, they're a vast improvement over fast food.

I live on these and the weightwatchers ones. Low in fat, and a I have a few favourites: beef cannelloni, beef lasagne, chili con carne, moroccan lamb and cous cous, spaghetti and meatballs.

As Caesar said, great for those nights when you're home late and CBF cooking, e.g. after footy training, but still want a 'proper' dinner.

Used to often buy them to take to work at an industrial job out of town as the canteen was pretty crap, they are actually not too bad tbh.

At home would prefer to make something proper though.

Some are better than others that's for sure. I often get their Lasagne's but am often disappointed at the chicken content within their Curried Chicken and Rice.

they are amazing these helped me lose nearly 30kg in 2 months and a bit.

The quality is very good.

I don't like most of them, however I adore the Sundried Tomato Chicken with Pasta.

I like them but I find that I'm still hungry afterwards and need something else.
