I just can't do frozen meals for lunch anymore.

[luvvy]

I'm not a fan of frozen meals so I feel you. What about a turkey sandwich. Easy. Bam.

[eightangryreindeer]

It's never enough food for me and so many of them are just plain bad for you - with WW and LeanCuisine being among the worst.

[pseudoagain]

I usually skip lunch most days because I still haven't figured out what's good and gluten free. I have to get on that.

I know they are disgusting, but I go through phases where I eat a lot of them, and then phases (like this week) where I want nothing to do with them.

[alleycat]

I'm so done with them. One time I had the three cheese ziti every day for a week. Anyway, I had to give up on them. The only thing that worked was taking leftovers, packing them right after dinner and remembering them in the morning. Assuming my fat ass husband didn't eat thirds and fourths.

[angelaa73]

ugh. they suck

I would rather die of a ramen induced salt coma than eat that crap

[dcannie]

the only frozen thing i like for lunch is an amy's burrito. or a stouffer's mac & cheese if i am on the verge of murdering someone.

[iamgrace]

Ya. No. Ew. I'm a huge fan of sandwiches. Turkey. Chicken. Veggie. Whatever.

I freaking love Stouffer's mac and cheese. It reminds me of being at my grandparents' house. I only make it in the oven though, so it gets nice and black and crusty on top. If I really want to pay homage to the grandparents, I add a pat of butter on top, because it's just not fatty enough without it!

But anyway - I am with you, toledo. I know that LCs and WWs frozen meals aren't great for you, but I'm lazy about making my own lunches. Most of the meat (especially the chicken) in those meals scare me so I usually skip that part. If I have leftovers from dinner the night before, I don't mind bringing those, but that is rare.

I eat them occasionally, but lately I've been craving egg salad on a flatbread/wrap thingy. It's pretty filling too.

They just have so much gluteny filler stuff, I'm always parched and bloated as fuck when I eat those.

And lol Angelaa. My H still eats Ramen when he's sick. Ew.

hahaha. lemme guess. he puts an egg in there, yes?

get a bento box and fill it with a few different things - a ham and cheese sandwich, some grapes, yogurt, carrots, etc. you can throw something together in under 10 minutes.

Saffron Road from Whole Foods. Friggin' awesome, does NOT taste microwaved, tastes like restaurant quality.

The bento idea is great. That helped me tons to learn how to pack a lunch that didn't go uneaten. Or packing leftovers right at dinner in a lunch size portion.

Also I love Amy's burritos (The bean & cheese kind). I'll eat those for lunch any day.

[pirate]

I've been eating Go Picnic meals from Target. Some of them are even gluten-free.

[janiejones]

Also, put some frozen fruit in greek yogurt, top with a smidge of honey (I also put hemp & flax on mine, but LTP will scoff at that) and it's delicious and the right temperature by lunch. The yogurt is cold, and the berries have thawed.

I really hate them. I gave up on them a few years ago. Have you tried bringing soup or sanwiches? Leftovers from dinner are better than those frozen entrees.

And is $5-6 a meal? I like Amy's frozen meals, too, but they're expensive.

Well, they're not the cheapest, but if you wanted to do those maybe a couple of days a week? IDK. They're really good, if you like lemongrass, the lemongrass chicken with basil and basmati rice is good/different.

[imoan]

I got sick of my lunches so I attempted frozen meals again last week. And then I quickly remembered why I gave them up as an option years ago. Too little food, taste gross... BLECH!

[heyjude]

Trader Joes frozen lunches FTW!

[snipsnsnails]

Evol burritos and chips w/salsa!
