Frozen healthy choice, lean cuisine, etc. to count calories more accurately or measuring fresh food?
In an effort to cut my calories down to 1,200 per day. I find that using the calories stated on the boxes of the healthy frozen foods is better for me than watching what I eat with regular food. My husband and I are not on the same page with this. Just wanted the opinion of others.
While it will simplify the calorie counting, remember that most prepared, frozen foods are higher in sodium than what you may use at home plus the vegetables have been pretty cooked down and are not the same as what you would get if you prepared them yourself. In addition, you will find that even buying these on sale will cost you more than cooking for yourself. How about spending one or two days in a month where you cook healthy meals for yourself (using recipes that give portion sizes & nutritional info) & package them to freeze yourself at home. This way you have the convenience of the frozen stuff with complete control over the food & less cost.
