Which specific meals are you referring to? Some Lean Cuisine meals might be healthier than others, for example.
Here are a few tips to help you find good frozen meals:
Look for a meal that includes a lot of vegetables (the meal should be about half vegetables).
If it has grains, make sure they're whole grains. If you see "enriched wheat flour" in the ingredients, avoid it.
It would be good if it includes beans, but it might be hard to find meals with beans.
Check the sodium. A simple rule of thumb is that the sodium/calorie ratio shouldn't be too high (less than 1 is good, more than 2 is bad).
If it's advertised as healthy, it doesn't mean that it's healthy. Always check the ingredients. At least the first few ingredients (and preferably all of them) should be whole foods.
The last time I went to the frozen meals section of the supermarket, I couldn't find any good ones, but admittedly I didn't spend a lot of time looking.
