Hey guys! What do you guys(and your nutritionist) think about eating smart ones and lean cuisines if in a bind? I dont see my nut until next week so I wanted your opinions. I bought a box of weight watchers ice cream. It has 10 g of sugar(which is alot i know) 90 cal,2g fat, 2g of protein, 17g of carbs. I know this is alot for a "diet" ice cream but i think its better than eating the real stuff...once in awhile isnt bad lol

smart ones seem to have a lot of preservatives and a lot of salt - lean cuisines you can typically find lower sodium and they don't use any preservatives. There are also low fat/low carb options that are thorougly enjoyable - steak tips portabello is my favorite

Thanks for that info circa, I was just scouting out the smart ones at walmart, as an in case of emergency food but didn't like the sodium or calories. I will check out lean cuisine next time.

I am afraid of too much sugar. I kind of like being afraid of the ice cream! I have bought the no sugar added Italian ice for a little treat.

Too many preservatives for this body. LOL Too much sugar also.

I always thought the Smart Ones tasted terrible. The Lean Cuisine are heavy on carbs so I needed to add protein to them, plus I can't eat a whole one at one time. I don't generally buy diet food. I eat ice cream at parties or a cup at Baskin-Robbins once every couple of months.

Love them but haven't eaten them for a long time. Either one is loaded with preservatives, and lots of sodium. Although it probably wouldn't hurt to keep one or two in the freezer for and emergency quick meal if necessary!

I have never had one of them before, but you mentioned ice-cream and I have found a pretty good one. Blue Bell has a no sugar added ice-cream on a stick that is low cal and has only 2 net carbs. It is listed as a low glacemic index food. My kids tear them up. I have had one twice and I did not distinguish it from a regular one.

I eat the weight watchers sometimes, well I usually eat the meat and a bite or two of veggies then I'm full. I keep then in the freezer because sometimes I am disorganized in the morning snc need to grab a quick lunch for work.

On the ice cream I bought a box of weight watchers mini ice cream sandwiches, they were less than a hundred calories and saved me during PMS when I needed a fix. I wouldn't recommend keeping them in your freezer all the time though.

Sweet! ill have to pick those up! thanks for the tip

I haven't had them since my surgery but I know when I used to diet before surgery I ate them a lot. I really liked them but eventually I had to give them up because they were causing me to stall in my weight loss. They are high in sodium which u can offset by drinking more fluids but what usually got me was the carbs. There were just too many carbs for my body. Everyone is different though and you may find that they work out good for you. Once or twice a week would prolly be ideal I would think.

There is a really good Lean Cusine that I love that's chicken with cream spinach. It's pretty low in calories and fat and carbs. I bought a bunch when I found them because who knows if I'll be able to find it again.

If I buy those things, I usually just throw away whatever carbs are in them. Healthy Choice is the lowest in sodium.

Lean Cuisine has a low carb/lower sodium line that aren't too bad.

Crap food. You have been given a second chance. Take advantage of it. Prepare food in advance and freeze it......instant healthy frozen dinners.
