Default What's your favorite frozen entree?

There's such a huge variety of frozen meals on the market...anyone have any favorites? I seem to lean toward the Lean Cuisines over the others for their flavor. My all time favorites are: Grilled Chicken with Penne Pasta and the Chicken Suiza Enchilada.

Every night for dinner I eat a Healthy Choice Turkey Divan Bowl. It's my absolute favorite. It's only 250 calories and 5 grams of fiber. I feel like I'm getting a lot of food for my 250 calories with it.

Unfortunately I don't pay attention to the brands when I eat frozen dinners, since my mother always buys them, but I'm sure you'll recognize them. As far as frozen low fat food goes, my favorites are:

Chicken Fettucini
Turkey Breast (the kind with the stuffing)
Meat Lasagna

My favorites are all of the most fattening kinds... Oh well. I like rice bowls and more healthy things too, but I can't say they're my favorites. My favorite non-diet frozen foods are Celeste Pizza for Ones and Hot Pockets. Talk about bad for you... Sheesh.

EDIT: By the way, I really like soup cups. They're not frozen, but they're quick, easy, and fill you up. You know, the kind where you just add water. I usually buy Knorr soups. Some of them are very low-cal and very tasty. My favorites are Corn Chowder and Potato Leek. When buying cup soups, watch for sodium, though.

I tried a new one this week, (and I see it's one of Aphil's faves, too) the LC Rice and Beans. My daughter made baked potatoes so I had this over a 1/2 potato and I was so full!

kopiicat-I'll have to check out the soups, thanks!

I also tried a lean pocket while on a trip, but they aren't that low in fat and calories, and it wasn't filling!

The Lean Pockets are way too much refined starch/white bread and not near enough meat in them to be filling...so I avoid them.

I like the Gorton's Shrimp Bowls. The shrimp fried rice is especially good--and it only has 320 calories and 2 grams of fat. I'm not sure about the fiber & sodium, though. I'll have to check those out & get back to ya! If you like shrimp and Chinese food, definitely TRY THIS ONE!!

Anything from Marie Calenders or Claim Jumpers.
Maybe thats part of my problem!!!

The reason I joined WW instead of other programs was the commercials that said you wouldn't have to eat "Diet Food".

But I also dont like using my entire days point bank on 1 Marie Calender chicken fried steak and gravy, lol.

For frozen desserts, I like the Silhouettes (skinney cow) ice cream sandwiches. My favorites are the strawberry shortcake and the chocolate mint. I cut them in to two open faced sandwiches so I eat them slower and it feels like I'm eating more.
