Delicious food for those on the go

Every Tuesday and Thursday I find myself in a pickle. I don't have very much time to eat between work and practice and yet would find myself starving. On my quest to lose weight for the wedding and to save money I turn down fast food for an even better option: easy food i can make at home with very little time. I tend to go for fruits and raw vegetables but sometimes I am in such a hurry and really want the taste of a delicious home cooked meal. This is when i discovered lean cuisine.
Lean Cuisine makes a variety of different microwavable options with lower calorie levels and no preservatives. It is wonderful when you are a calorie counter like me and yet want the comfort of a warm home cooked meal without the annoyance of buying the ingredients and actually cooking it. It even tastes restaurant quality but is less expensive! I personally love the glazed chicken and wasn't a fan of the chicken enchilada but had overall good results. I especially liked how the calories in each box are low so you can eat delicious warm food and keep a low calorie diet.
One of my favorite tips for anyone who eats microwavable meals is to make sure you eat them on a plate. Eating these meals on a plate gives it a meal-like quality, which is great for full food enjoyment!
