Why do I bother? I am still starving after I eat the little handful of food they give you.

Plus it is full of preservatives, sodium, and other questionable things. Fresh, whole food is so much better. You could have a tuna salad w/w pita with lettuce, veg sticks and a yogurt with a few raw almonds for under the cals of that lean cuisine, and it would stay with you lots longer =) (and be MUCH healthier for you)

I here that!!

 

[Clanceycanuck]

I know, same here.

lean cuisine taught me portion control. i used that information to transition to regular food. it's crappy food, but it was just a step i needed.

 

[blacklabelias]

but they taste so good...... yum ;-)

LCs for lunch suffer from the three-bites-and-yer-done-til-dinner syndrome.

I know. I'm eating a Zone bar. These are pretty good.

Yeah, like that's enough to keep an adult going all afternoon. NOT!

They actually stick with me all afternoon, but it depends on which variety. Plus, I have time to grab a LC from the freezer on my way out the door in the morning. Tuna salad on a pita etc... not so much.

I'm with you.

True. They are convenient. Probably their only advantage...

I pack my lunch the night before while packing the kid's =)

I also *try* to wash & portion veggies like carrot sticks, celery, cucumbers, red peppers, broccoli, etc when I buy them so I can just grab & go. That helps a lot.

This thread just reminded me I have baby carrots at home....

I heart lean cuisine lunches (the Weight Watchers Smart Ones pot roast is only 3 points mmmm) and I find there is plenty in there for me...

 

[Allie]

I make my lunch every night, too. Keeps time spent in the morning on a short schedule. No way could I survive all day on a lean cuisine, but I'm also at work longer than most people (10 hour days) so I need a couple snacks thrown in, anyway.

 

[Mocha]

I pack my lunch the night before also.

That pita sounds yummy right now! Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[joflake]

We do our lunches the night before too. I have too many other things to do in the mornings. Processed food is soooo bad for you.

 

[PhoebeJeebies]

The Lean Cuisine pizzas taste really good, and I do find them filling enough for a lunch. But yes, it's all about the convenience and I'm lazy.

T, what do you keep your veggies and fruits cut up in? I was just curious, you say you portion them out. I need to start making my the day before, that way I can take egg salad or make a leafy salad. Chloe was excited to take watermelon this morning, omg it was sooooo good!!!
