I had a frozen meal that caught my eye the other day waiting at work for lunch. So this morning I just had to pack a salad and fruit to go along with it (and my snacks for later of course). The thing that caught my eye was “Pumpkin” in the name. This is Pumpkin Squash Ravioli from Healthy Choice. It has 300 calories, 6g fiber and 9g protein. 
This is what it actually looks like – not as appetizing as the box picture. It was so-so, mostly tasted like Butternut Squash Ravioli. The filling was a little gel-like and the ravioli chewy (I actually liked the chewy part, but I’m weird). I probably wouldn’t get it again. And now that I am done with it, I don’t feel full at all. A 300 calorie sandwich or bowl of soup would have filled me up better. 
The frozen meal is a part of this complete lunch…

“After spending some time working with people with eating disorders , I came up with this rule: ‘Don’t create arbirary rules for eating if their only purpose is to help you feel in control.’I try to eat healthfully, but if there’s a choice between eating ice cream and spending all day obsessing about eating ice cream , I’m going to eat the ice cream!” – Laura Usher
