  1. Denise: 

    Probably not, try looking at the nutrition facts.

  2. Devyn: 

    They are low in fat and calories but very high in sodium. Eat in moderation.

  3. Cloris: 

    Probably better than a sandwich and chips for lunch. I like taking them to work, they’re not so big as to make me so full that I want a nap!

  4. Valerie: 

    Personally, I think that anything that is a “meal in a box” or loaded up with preservatives can’t be all that great for you.

  5. Simone: 

    They have less calories and sodium than most.

    there also isn’t a lot of food in the box.

    the word lean has nothing to do with nutritional content — just the lack of calories.

  6. Jewel: 

    The calories tend to be lower than some other frozen dinners, but the sodium content is a killer — literally. My father-in-law developed congestive heart failure after a steady diet of Lean Cuisine and other frozen entrees for several months after his wife died and he had to cook for himself.

    Plus which, I think the box tastes better than its contents. As far as I’m concerned, the meals are only moderately lean, and the cuisine is nearly non-existent.

  7. Yessenia: 

    If anything takes you more then 10 seconds to read the ingredient list, don’t eat it.
