Atkins Frozen Meals
So I saw the commecial for the Atkins Diet frozen meals featuring Sharon Osbourne. I think she had the bypass years ago, and had had some weight gain and claims to have used these meals to loose weight . Today i saw them at walmart and decided to buy a couple to see how they taste.
here is the website
The Chicken and broccoli in alfredo sauce has 26g of protein, 330 calories and 5 net carbs.
Now I am not the type of person to eat tv-dinners/frozen meals, whatever you like to call the, mainly because of the calories and sodium content.
But i wanted to see what you guys think of these frozen meals. Would it be ok to fit one of these into my diet?
I have recently been almost evey day, having one day off here in there if any. And have had very little time to prepare foods, i have been living on cottage cheese, yogurt and cheese sticks. lol I guess this is the reason why these meals caught my eye.
I was wondering about them too. I put a very similar post to yours last week. Got a lot of negative feedback. Some say the chicken ones were okay but the meatloaf ones taste real gross.
I would guess they would be a good alternative if you aren't up to cooking. Probably healthier than eating out.
I am one that OATHS cooking but what I have been doing since I can eat solids now is putting some chicken (already cleaned and marinated from Wegmans) in a slow cooker with a few frozen veggies. Takes 2 minutes. Than I just leave it all day. Comes out pretty good. I don't know if that gives you an idea of something to eat other than cottage cheese, yogurt or cheese sticks. Also eggs are good too and take 2 minutes to cook in almost any form. Hope this helps. :-)

funny you should ask... last night I had a breakfast of theirs for dinner, it was scrambled egg with peppers and sausage, it was called Farmers something-or-other.... it tasted really good actually, the eggs had great consistency out of the microwave, which I was shocked about. However, I looked at the nutrition label as I was cooking and saw how much fat, we're talking 55% of the recommended daily value of saturated fat for the day, and I was regretting the purchase just based on that. I shouldve looked in the store, not while cooking. it was good though !
