Frozen Dinners


Posted by sfoster85

Hello Weight Loss Team! I was wondering if any of you out there had recommendations for any type of frozen dinners or premade dinners for taking to work for lunch. I don't have a lot of extra time to prepare things at home, so usually I'm just able to take the little "mickey mouse" dinners from the frozen food aisles. I know a lot of these are unhealthy and don't fill you up so you tend to eat more because you're not full yet!

 Does anyone have meals that they like and are good to help follow some kind of diet/healthy eatting? Do these meals fill you up?

I'm hoping that once it comes winter time I'll have more time for pre-cooking and preparing some lunch meals at home to bring to work. Also it you have go ideas on quick prep meals to bring in that would be great.

Thank you for your time and advice!

Hey Savannah,

Please don`t buy any frozen dinners...please, please, please...

I know that you don`t have much time during the week to prepare meals, so here are my suggestions:

1. Prepare your lunches for the week on SatéSun and store them in tupperware in the freezer - frozen meals, but you control the ingredients and you will definitely save $$$

 2. Make 1 pot meals & casseroles and divide them up for the week

3. If you really have no time, rip open some bags of frozen veg and portion into individual tupperwares. Boil up some rice or pasta...add this to the veg (more veg & less starch for weight loss)....cook up some protein, divide and add to the veg / starch ....pour some olive oil, salt, pepper, spices over each tupperware..put the lids on & shake to mix everything together...stuff 'em in the freezer and you're done for the week.

4. Other suggestions - portion some almonds (10-15) into little zip-locs for afternoon snacks - If you have a sweet tooth, opt for Lara bars or theobroma chocolate logs

I hope this helps

Feel free to contact me or check out the blog for more info

Thank you for the tips. I like number 3 especially and it seems easy and quick enough for me to fix at work!
Hello, I do eat frozen meals for lunch or dinner.  And have lost weight with them. I eat Banquet meals, and the Michelinas,  they are just right on the serving size. I will only eat one a day and about two or maybe three a week.  Iam a disabled truck driver and now my wife works so this is easy and fast for me, that way she dont have cook for me when she gets home.

Thank you for the advice Dewayne. I like the Michelinas also!
