So how about those microwave meals? What could be better than a meal that's quick, easy, and already cooked??
With names like Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, Smart Ones, and Lean Gourmet, what could be bad about them?
Let's look at the cons
- Microwaves can take away the vital nutrients of food, the radiation can cause cancer (in extremely prolonged usage), and a lot of people say they are high in preservatives and sodium.
The Pros - for weight loss, I still believe these entrees can be useful towards reaching a weight goal.
Also, many of these products today use no preservatives or have low sodium
Lastly, no one ever said you had to use the microwave to cook them! Many of these meals provide instructions for heating them using a toaster oven or conventional oven.
So you don't have to go fill up your cart with these convenience meals, but you can at least reconsider them as one of your options! :)
