I am looking for something that I can microwave when I have a time crunch. I was personally thinking Gourmet Choice Healthy Steamers (I would eat the beef and maybe if there was room a vegetable or two, obviously not the potatoes or sauce). I found the nutritional information online and its not great but I am wondering if anyone might be able to guess how the nutritional information would adjust with me mainly just eating the meat and maybe a vegetable or two? This is likely a stupid question but would heating the meat up with the veggies and potatoes some how make the meat absorb some of the carbs?

Here is a link to the nutritional info, just click on Beef Merlot. http://www.healthychoicecanada.ca/en/healthy-products/#

Anyone have any other suggestions, I dont want to do swanson or hungryman because they have the meat in the sauce already.

Thanks!

I would count all of the Protein grams and guess at the carbs. If you eat 1/4 of the veggies, then count 6 carbs--1/3 of the veggies would be 8.

If you want something quick to eat when you are pressed for time, what about steaming or boiling some shrimp? They are good cold with a squirt of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. Or hard-boiled eggs--I used to boil a bunch at the beginning of the week and make egg salad or just eat them with salt and pepper. They were ready-made no matter what I decided. Also, you could make some turkey chili on the weekend and eat that during the week.

As someone who used to live on frozen prepared meals, the food I fix from scratch tastes so much better to me, and I'm not getting all that sodium from the boxed meals. Just a thought!
