Lean Cuisine??

I was looking through my Better Homes & Garden magazine and noticed Lean Cuisine is coming out with a new line of whole grain entrees.  Check these out:


http://www.leancuisine.com/Products/NewProducts.aspx


I bet these would be ok occasionally.  We all have days were we need a quick meal and these look pretty good!  They don't list the ingredients though.  I'll have to see if they are in my local market yet.


I'm curious to see the new line of Kraft foods!

Hi,


There is no info on the official website about this new Lean Cuisine.

Kristen,


Here's your answer:


Dear Cathy,
Thank you for sending the link on Lean Cuisine's 100% Whole Grain frozen entrees. As you already realize, Dr. Agatston does not recommend any frozen entrees at this time. The Lean Cuisine products do incorporate whole grains, which is a good step in the right direction. Using these meals would be a personal decision. Best of luck!

Wouldn't you wait and recommend the brand you were getting a kickback from? ;-)

Did you notice their color scheme is similar to the SBD logo? That aqua-blue is very SBDish.

My non-official opinion is that as long as there aren't hydrogenated oils or too much saturated fat, then these would be fine for an occassional lunch or quick dinner. You'd probably be wise aving them with a small salad, too. The point of SBD is to eat fresh, wholesome foods. Eating something from a box kinda goes against this philosophy, but life is life and when you're in a pinch it's nice to have something available instead of fast food!

I looked these up on the web and they vary in terms of fiber and sugar content, so some may be better than others. But this is a good improvement. I admit to occasionally eating frozen entrees and canned soup. I just realize that it isn't the best option and that my weigh will probably go up the next day from the sodium! I have learned to enjoy making up my meals for the week, but I think we all have times when that is just impossible. I'm looking forward to the Kraft meals when they come out!

I was only able to find the "Lemon Chicken" variety of these at my store today.

I saw the breaded chicken. I do not believe the other varieties are breaded so they may be better choices.
