Lean Cuisine

Just here to write a review about the Flatbread Melts specifically, the pesto chicken. The flat bread is very dry and tough around the edges. 8g of fat and 330 calories were 2g out of the 8g of fat are polyunsaturated so they break down easier. What I mean is it's low in fat but also low in size/portion. There's potassium in it so that's a plus and 22 grams of protein which is a good serving size. High in Vitamin C, Iron and Vitamin A, and Calcium :) (in regards to % values of a 2,000 cal. diet which is a good estimate but not for everyone). But it all boils down to taste. The creamy sauce is a plus but dosesn't make up for the unpleasantly tangy sun dried tomatoes and or red pepers. Wouldn't recomend this as a snack if you're starving.

I have always liked Lean Cuisine, and most taste good. But recently, I noticed on the chicken entrees, there are actually cut up pieces of chicken fat that look like chicken. I have given it several tries, but I think I will go to another brand now since I have encountered fat in every single chicken entree. It is disgusting! What are they feeding us America? Check it out and see how you can literally smash some 'chicken' pieces.....they are cut up fat to look like chicken pieces.

My boyfriend calls these "MEAN Cuisines" as he thinks they do not have much flavor, and feels that the company is mean by making him feel overweight because he has to eat 2 just to feel like he had a meal. I think they taste alright, but... he has a point.

Lean Cuisine is good on most occasions, but some of the meals like the Chicken Fettucini with brocoli, are dry. Others are very good. it depends what you get on whether or not it is good.

I love most all of the Lean cuisine meals, my all time favorite is the tortilla crusted fish with rice, I'm addicted to that one! Ithink I've had it 8x this week!

Like most frozen dinners, Lean Cuisine looks much better on the box than it does face to face. But I have to say that the flavor of Lean Cuisine is much better than the pictures could even make it look! The pizzas are SOOOOO good! Better than any other frozen pizza I have tasted. They are surprisingly filling too. I love their chicken penne, paninis, EVERYTHING! They're usually a good buy too because you can always find them on sale somewhere for about $2. Can't say enough about them

I love the penne with broccoli and chicken in alfredo sauce-soooo yummy. Also the potato one in turkey bacon cheese and broccoli-YUM!!!!

Wow, today I just stocked up on some Lean Cuisine meals. They were on sale for a mere $1.88. Boy... were they going fast! 10 were the limit, so I had to hit the line twice. They are perfect for a quick snack, and great for people on a diet, who require portion control. To me , they are flavored well:) Thanks!

I love, love, LOVE lean cuisine...Most of the frozen foods that are supposed to be low in calories are low in taste as well...but I find most of the lean cuisine dishes I've tried are very delicious and keep me filled for hours...I like the pasta dishes the best, the chicken and vegatables one is really tasty and there is a lot of chicken in there, not just a few little pieces like you usually get in pre-packaged foods....give it a try.

p.s. i too agree it is a little expensive if you don't have a lot of money to spare on groceries, but def. worth giving a try, so yummy.

Lean Cuisine is by far the best frozen dinner line I've ever tasted. I have tried them ALL, and I personally LOVE most of their products. Especially the pizzas, they taste like the real deal, with far LESS calories and fat grams. EXCELLLENT FOOD IS MY RATING!!!

The 3-Cheese stuffed Rigatoni is a very good frozen meal. There is actually a good amount of vegetables in it, which are cooked to perfection--not too soft and not too crunchy. The flavor of the sauce is delicious, and there is cheese on it too, but not too much. This one is my favorite meal.

not so lean when you need 2-3 to fill you up.

Lean Cuisine meals are really fabulous if you're just starting to watch what you eat, because you don't feel like you're sacrificing the flavor you're used to eating. It also really hits home the entire idea of portion control, "Oh...THIS is how much of this I'm supposed to eat!"

In addition to that, so many of their entrees are easy to add vegetables to. I always steam onions and peppers to throw into the Santa Fe Rice and Beans or the Lasagna. Five a day :)

I avoid the meat, just because for some reason the texture always throws me...but I'm blaming that on my microwave! :)

I personally love Lean Cuisine meals. I don't eat them all the time, just for a quick lunch or dinner when I don't have any time. Just a Paninni for the first time and it's pretty good. The bread wasn't as crispy as I would have liked but for being made in 3 minutes in the microwave, I couldn't ask for anything better or faster.

I also like their beef tips and Broccoli and their pasta dishes too. Very good. The vegetables are always nice and fresh tasting and I have no complaints with the meat. Sometimes if the dish is a little lacking in flavor I'll add a bit of Mrs. Dash or Italian seasoning, pepper, something like that and it's perfect.

I love the Lean Cuisine meals!! You MUST try the Sweet and Sour Chicken. I was amazed at how good it was. You get a good amount of bite-size chicken in a sweet and sour sauce with white rice, pineapple and red and green peppers. THE best meal I've had from them so far! I don't agree with "staying away from the ones with rice"...that's just a matter of opinion and personal preference.

it is the best tasting frozen dinner

I always load up on these when I go to the super market, me being single and watching what I eat, these are great.

I've eaten Lean Cuisine meals for 5 months now and I stick to the pizzas and paninis. They are amazing...believe me what person could really eat these for 5 months if they tasted bad? I live in my sorority house and I microwave my meals downstairs and girls always say omg that looks so good and wouldn't even believe their lean cuisine meals. I've lost 30 lbs as well from the help of these meals...so I recommend them!

Look, these meals are not the best foods ever. But after being on an HMR fasting diet -- there are much better than their entrees. There are some really bad processed food meals out there. Their best feature is that they help me count calories by providing fairly filling meals.

Lean Cuisines are awesome. Some of the negative feedback that I have read probably is a result of microwave cooking. Oven is the only way to go. I have tried ALL of the other so-called weight loss frozen entrees and have been very thrilled about eating them. I just started on this diet with LC and make sure that I have a variety of them in the freezer. I have cereal and skim milk for breakfast, a piece of fruit or yogurt for snack, one LC for lunch, fruit or some veggies for midafternoon snack and then another LC for dinner. I also cut out all soda as all sodas contain sodium which makes oneself retain water which is discouraging during dieting. I also do not eat anything after dinner as I am trying to speed up my metabolism. To add to it I run/walk on the treadmill until I burn 500 calories per day. So far in one week I lost 5lbs and I dont feel hungry (for some reason). I am hopeful that this will continue to work for me.

First let me say I love Lean Cuisine. I've been eating their stuff since I was a teen, even when I'm not dieting - some of their offerings are the best tasting frozen food selections out there even when calories are not taken into account. But I have to agree with the reviewer below that quality can really vary. I had two boxes of the same flavored chicken entree on different days this week. One was fabulous, and one inexplicably came minus a single drop of the starring basil sauce which had made the first box so great. The second meal (purchased from the same store at the same time, made in the same mic for the same # of minutes by the same chef) was an inedible disaster without the sauce. So it really is a roll of the dice giving brand loyalty to this company -they have an issue with quality control on the production line evidently.You don't always get what the prtty picture on the package indicates. Worth the risk for me though. They're cheap, quick & easy & relatively healthy (compared to most of the other heartburn inducing,salt-encrusted piles of trans-fat you get from the other selections in your freezer case, that is.)If they could get their QC up to speed, I'd give 'em 5 stars.

wow, these aren't very good at all. I like the WW meals more defnately. I tried the dinnertime selections tuscan chicken...GROSS!! The chicken was ok, and the veggies were ok, although probably overcooked. The gross part was the pasta and sauce it came in. The pasta was so overcooked it was practicaly mush, there was a really slimy mouthfeel from the pasta and the slimy sauce and slimy mushrooms. I really don;t reccomend, this dish. However, the other dinnertime selctions are much tastier. I find that penne pasta seems to hold up alot better in these dishes, spagetti or other long pastas just get so mushed it pretty uneatible. One last comment, after i ate this I realized taht I could've made more food for as many calories if I had cooked myself. just something you all might want to consider.

the new panini's are the best thing this company has come up with. not only are they delicious, they are very satisfying. my market cannot keep them on the shelf!maybe you can expand the selection.

The new Panini's are great, everyone in my town is rushing out to buy them. Now all of the stores in our area have none left. Everyone hopes they get them in soon. The are the best things and filling too. It's amazing how with that little tray they go on that the bread comes out crunchy....All of the flavors are excellant. I'm actually going out today to every grocery store in my area, even ones that are a little further away to try to find the infamos PANINI. And to make it even better they are only 6 WW points. Thanks Lean Cuisine. Please hurry and ship our orders!!!

The majority of the Lean Cusines are quite tasty. The Lean Cuisine Dinners are MUCH better tha Healthy Choice. The system helps me count the calories and keep portion-control in tact. I have lost 15 lbs. in two and half weeks by eating yogart and an apple for breakfast, a granola bar for lunch, carrots or a banana for snacks, and a Lean Cusines and large fruit salad for dinner. Thanks, Lean Cusines!

stay away from foods w rice. frozen rice always ends up wierd, sorta gummy.

I realy like the taste of the dinners. I really don't have a favorite, because I like food with fkavor & they all have it. I eat a bowl of ceral for breakfast & a glass of no fat milk & usually a slice of wheat bread with lettuce & healthy choice meat for lunch & a apple, & for dinner i have a lean cusine dinner & water. I drink lots of water daily. I have lost 8 pounds in alittle over a month. Thanks for making such great tasting dinners.

I started eating Lean Cusines for my 3 meals each day and they have already helped me to lose weight in 2 weeks. Through the day I always eat a bag of baby carrots and some fruit plus I drink LOTS of water! Last night as I was getting into bed, my husband (who wouldn't notice if I changed my hair color!) said my tummy looked thinner and that I had shed at least 5 lbs. My favorite Lean Cuisine is the Turkey, gravy, stuffing, whipped potatoes, and green beans with cranberries. Only 280 calories and DELICIOUS!

You just can't make some people happy. They want restaurant gourmet food for pennies and to eat as much as they want without gaining weight! I am a gourmet cook myself, lean cusine is a great bargain and I think these people have done a good as job possible for portable, frozen, low calorie, meals. It's a very cheap dinner. I started the diet a week ago because I got fat eating my own cooking! It's easy, the calories are counted, and I think the food is great. Stouffers, thanks for making my life a little bit better! I'm slimming down!

Yum! I eat Lean Cuisines even when I'm not trying to watch my diet. Most of the meals are very good. The only ones I don't care for are the pasta dishes...the noodles are a bit rubbery.

lean cuisines the bomb. most flavors that I tried are great---and I'm not even on a diet. I have them for snacks.

Some good, some bad. The Honey Dijon Grilled Chicken I tried yesterday was grim. The green beans with almonds was okay. However, the chicken, and I say this with a question, was totally unlike what was shown on the package. Instead of the five pieces of grilled chicken, there was a rectangul piece of brown something about an inch long and half inch in diameter and another piece about half that size. These two somethings were swimming in a sea of over-powering sauce. Yes, swimming--the sauce filled the little compartment containing the something. I was very disappointed. Here I thought would be an excellent dish containing vegetable and meat only without any rice or pasta. Will I try it again? I don't think so. I have enjoyed other meals such as the rice, beans, with cheese. I add a tasty salsa to it and sometimes pour it on top of some salad greens, add a little Splenda and it is very good. DJ

The pizza and the chicken parm. is the best. Of course, it helped that I cut all carbs and sugar out of my diet for two months before I started eating Lean Cuisine. My taste have changed completely. When I drink a diet soda, I swear it regular soda becuase my body forgets what real sugar taste like. Same thing goes for Lean Cuisine, my body is so not used to high calorie, fatty food that it thinks Lean Cuisine is enduldging. I lost 25 lbs. and I am sure that Lean Cuisine will help keep it off.

Only an approximation of food, about half-an-ounce of variously colored unidentifiable stuff with everything good boiled or purged away. An entire meal fits in a good-sized spoon.

I just bought the Oriental Beef Stirfry and didn't even try it. There was a 31/2 inch long hair flowing through the rice and beef. Have written a complaint letter to Nestle, but have not yet had a response. Terrible quality assurance if this huge hair can get into a meal! I was so disgusted I will probably never buy this product again.

Veggies had no flavor and the flavors tasted processed.

Love them great selection and taste great.

I eat these pretty often since they're quick and easy. By putting a slice of cheese on the canneloni, I can have a decent meal and they're cheap. They are the best bang for the buck when calories, fat, cost and taste are all factored in.

Generally good. The penne pasta meal and the teriyaki chicken meal are favorites, but they aren't always the same quality.

Very tasty for diet food. Expensive

I tried the alfredo pasta with chicken, and it was awful. The chicken had the consistency of a pea - soft and mushy. The alfredo was kind of gummy too. Initially, I was disappointed in the small portion, but once I tasted it, I knew it would be rough to finish what was there. Maybe other varieties are different, but this particular meal was bad. And for the record, the picture on the box makes it seem a lot more appetizing than the actual food inside the package.

They have some pretty nice meals. the 5-cheese lasagna is my favorite.

Some are fairly good; some taste like the box they came in. I wouldn't say it keeps me on a diet because I'm usually pretty ravenous when I get home after dining on one of these for lunch. However, it does stop the hunger pangs for awhile. Usually easy to find coupons and sales making it a very economical way to go at times too.

Lean Cuisine is at the top of my list for "light" frozen meals. You really can't beat them for taste and variety, and the portions seem to be a bit larger than what you find in some of the other lines. My favorites are the chicken entrees, such as chicken in peanut sauce and chicken piccata, and the pizzas, which are quite substantial and very tasty. Sometimes frozen meals can be kind of watery, but that's never the case with Lean Cuisine. The vegetables always look and taste fresh, and the sauces are especially flavorful. Lean Cuisines often go on sale, too, which is nice. To get a quick, fairly healthy meal for $1.50 to $3.00 is a bargain in my book. If I'm looking for a fast, low-fat meal, I'll go with Lean Cuisine.
