getting in on this thread here...Do any of you eat these for breakfast? I'm gonna post a thread asking people what they DO eat for breakfast...but I need to change up. I love their paninis and i was thinking one of those for breakfast every day. (btw, i usually only drink water which does flush out the sodium)

Has anyone tried these for breakfast?

I think I'm lucky when it comes to sodium because I regularly have low blood pressure (I mean, I get down to like 85/55 and it's not as a result of being athletic or in shape). Salty things are my biggest cravings so I guess you could say it's kind of like being able to "have my 100-calorie cheese nips and eat them, too." :p Of course, there's the water retention factor but even that I'm glad for sometimes if I don't want to be making trips to the bathroom. :p

I've never tried the Paninis but someone keeps bringing the different variety boxes to share as "food finds" at my WW meeting. Sounds interesting.

I usually do the same old Kashi cereal and soy milk for breakfast or maybe a toasted alternative bagel w/some lean cold cuts and sprouts.

Love the new spa line of LC's, esp. the butternut squash ravioli.

Others I always buy when they're on sale are the chicken cesar pasta bowls and deep dish pizzas. Yum!

I normally don't eat Lean Cuisines or Smart Ones, etc. every day-but I use them on occasion when I have terrible cravings for something like pizza, and I want to satisfy that craving with built in calorie and portion control. :)

My favorite is the Lean Cuisine Egg Roll/Vegetable Rice one-I use it for my chinese buffet cravings. :lol: I also love the Lean Cuisine Roasted Vegetable Pizza. I have it with DH orders Papa Johns or something and I want to stay out of it. :lol:


As far as breakfast-just stay in about a 300 calorie range, and make sure that you are eating 1200 calories a day total at least. If you are eating LC's for lunch and dinner, then I would recommend having other things for breakfast:

-a banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter smeared on it with cup of nonfat yogurt on the side

-a slice of whole grain toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter, and a cup of berries or grapes

-a small portion of healthy cereal and skim milk, fruit on the side if you have the calories left for it (depends on calories in the particular cereal-I like bran flakes, Kashi, raisin bran, etc.)

Just a few ideas...

I don't like the paninis--not because they aren't tasty, but to me, they aren't worth the calories for the amount of food you get. It's really only half a sandwich you get, not a whole one like they show on the box. I can make a much bigger sandwich myself for the same amount of calories.

I agree on the pizza, though--if I have a pizza craving, the frozen diet pizzas are just enough to feed the craving without going crazy (although some varieties have icky crusts, so I have my own personal preferences).

When I find them On Sale I get the LC meals for Lunch at work. Another Thing I like thats quick and easy Are Veggie burgers/Veggie Breakfast Sausage You probably need a salad with one to make a meal Breakfast for me is usually 3 slice of LF turkey on Thin WW Bread or in a tortilla or 2% Cottage cheese in the prepacked 4 oz cup and a string cheese
