everyonce in a while good, not for every meal though

I've found that although frozen meals are generally pretty well nutricially balanced, i.e contain a decent amount of protein, carbs and fat, they do seem to contain an incredibally high amount of salt! Something to watch out for

bad.

There is nothing stopping you from freezing your own fresh food though.

In general, packaged foods of all types are bad.

Great question!
Frozen vegetables are better than canned. I hardly ever buy the prepared meals frozen. You can cook from scratch MUCH healthier. You control the salt, etc.
I do buy some frozen meats such as skinless chicken breast, ground turkey meat, fish.

My advice - read the nutrition labels!

Frozen veggies are great. They are flash frozen right after they are harvested, so they contain lots more nutrients than even the fresh stuff you buy in the produce aisles. But, the frozen microwaveable meals probably aren't the greatest. Like another poster said, they are pretty well balanced, but contain a ton of sodium! I think it makes more sense to cook your own meals. I've heard of plenty of people who do a once-a-month cooking on a weekend and freeze what they cook, then they can just grab whatever portion they want from the freezer and they have their own frozen meal that is homemade and has a lot less sodium.

Regarding the last post on once a month cooking.
My daughter and granddaughter both do the cooking for a month. They love it and thier hubbies love getting good food. They have a computer program that has recipes and so far all have gotten good reviews from hubbies. And it makes a shopping list. Saves lots of $ also.

I think they are better than the drive thru if u dont have time to cook and freeze ur food...just try and watch sodium, its hard to do its in everything:)

i did well on those anytime i used them for lunches on my diets i just get burned out on them so easily .

I lost about 70 pounds a while back eating Healthy Choice meals at lunch. I did add extra fresh fruit and veggies to feel me up and make a more balanced meal. To me they helped me with portion control and gave me something other than a sandwhich to eat for lunch.

Kashi frozen entrees are tasty and fairly low in sodium--15-30% of your daily intake. That's not bad for an occasional meal. I eat them a couple of times a week for lunch or dinner.

I usually add something like a spinach salad or sauteed spinich to make it a more filling meal.
