I confess that I am not much of a cook. It isn't that I don't know how to do it -- I used to cook a lot. It is more that my interests have changed over the years and I just don't enjoy spending time cooking. I also find that -- for me -- if I spend a lot of time cooking something I am much more inclined to overeat. It is almost like how much I eat is tied to how much effort I put into cooking it.
That isn't to say that I eat mostly frozen food. I don't. But I'm more inclined to eat a chicken breast sandwich or do simple grilling of veggies on the George Foreman grill. Or have some hummus with 2 whole wheat tortillas. There are just times though when I don't want those things or am in a situation where I need something quick and easy. I am semi-retired and work only a couple of days a week and like to take a frozen lunch to work, for example. (I don't take leftovers because (1) I rarely have any since I only make what I will eat and (2) often when I go to work I find out after I get there that I need to go to a working lunch at a restaurant so if I brought leftovers I would either have to throw them out or haul them back home since usually I won't be back for a week).
When I did phase I and for about 3 months after that I ate no frozen food but want to have the option a couple of times a week. It actually irritates me that more manufacturers don't at least use whole grains which solve a lot of the problems with some foods.

I happent to have a Lean Cuisine Pizza in my freezer, so thought I would have that for dinner with a salad. I was bery disappointed, the crust was actually white bread with three pieces of pepperoni and a few tiny pieces of saug meat and some sauce.
I forget the brand now but I did buy a pizza recently that was whole grain. It wasn't totally bad but was so thin crusted that it was almost impossible to pick up the pizza and actually eat it. Very disappointing.
