Question:
Are there any frozen meals out there that are healthy for us to eat?

I am having a heck of a time thinking of stuff to eat. Right now nothing sounds good. Are there any frozen meals that I can buy that are low in carb & calories yet high in Protein. I can go forever and not eat and I know that is not good- I just get frustated when I try to find something to cook. Thanks for any input. Jan    — Jan S. (posted on June 3, 2003)

I haven't found any that are low-carb, but I do like the lean cuisine's with chicken and veggies and just don't eat the pasta in them! Or the tops of frozen pizza's...guts of burritoes, guts of hot pockets, etc. If your creative you can make it low-carb ;>)

Jan, I am 3 months post-op and find frozen dinners so convenient. They usually last me for lunch and dinner. I get the shrimp and pasta or the shrimp and rice (by Gortons I think) They are low in fat too. The fried rice and shrimp only has 3 grams of fat. Makes eating at work easier too. Just need a microwave. Also like the chicken toquitos. They are low in fat and have decent protein.

I am sorry to say that I have not been able to find any low carb frozen dinners...I won't eat them and sabotage my efforts. Its just as easy to grill or broil a piece of meat and nuke a vegetable. I also do omelets, with cheese and a meat. Good luck.

I buy the frozen jumbo shrimp at Trader Joe's. They come individually frozen and are pre-cooked. I take out afew and soak in cold water for a few minutes. With a pre-made salad you have a low carb, low fat, high protein meal. I also enjoy a piece of salmon, seasoned, wrapped in foil, baked at 350 for about 6 minutes or so. As fast as a Lean Cuisine.

I found the perfect convenience meal at Walmart. I can not remember the brand name but they keep it in the freezer sections by the other 'bowl' meals. It is a shrimp stir fry and has 10 carbs, 15 protein and I beleive 2 sugars. It is perfect for me. The brand has other flavors, all low carb, I just cant have meat yet so havent tried them. I definately reccomend trying them, they are fabulous!!
