They're pretty good, but so many of them end up tasting like the same thing, and they always seem kind of heavy and cheesy in spite of their small portions. About a month ago my pal Eliza mentioned that I should try the new Lean Cuisine meals, because they recently took on an "upscale" image and have a wide variety of foods to choose from. I tried the Thai Chicken first, since that was her recommendation, and I was really impressed. Now I've been buying up to eight at a time at the grocery store and I love them all! They have lots of different Asian food, including many Chinese dishes (like pot stickers and egg rolls) that are really yummy. Many of them include rice, and I'm amazed at how the rice manages to stay fluffy after microwaving! The best part is they really taste like fresh food - even the veggies are crisp. Right now they are pretty much my standard dinner (and it feels more like "real food" if I serve myself on a plate!). Nearly every meal is around 300 calories (one of them was only 260), so combining that with a nice dose of DDR in the mornings has me feeling pretty healthy recently!
