Roundybout Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Hey, guys, just started a new job that has me working late nights (usually 5-12 am). I am not always able to bring food from home, so I usually grab a frozen dinner from Tops on my way to work. I like Healthy Choice's adobo chicken power bowl, and Stouffers Swedish meatballs and pasta. Beyond that, im not sure what's good out there. What do you guys like? I'm open to pretty much anything. Money isn't really a problem unless it's something like 10 dollars a meal. 1
Augie Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I haven’t had one in years, but you reminded me of the Stouffers lasagna, which I used to love!
PromoTheRobot Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I have to count calories so I love Healthy Choice Simply Steamers. They are 200-300 calories each and are pretty tasty. I can eat two for lunch and stay under 500 calories. 3

This was my recomendation as long as time isn't a factor. I think all said and done they take about an hour and 20 minutes. These things from Costco are pretty quick and good. I usually have 2 of them. The sauce has a pretty good kick. Edited October 19, 2018 by RaoulDuke79 1
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Can’t go wrong with Amy’s. My wife keeps some of these in the freezer for quick dinners during the work week. I’ve had both the mac n cheese and the bean/cheese burrito. Both solid. 3
Augie Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I used to do the Lean Cuisine Glazed Chicken with rice quite a bit. If you’re really hungry one might leave you wanting for more.

I wish tops carried them. 1
row_33 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 need to come out of a three hour highway blizzard delay starving and dizzy to appreciate it, or 7-11 grill food
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) If you're normal weight go for it. If not? Why not eat before work. It's only 7 hours. I work shifts... That's what got Me in trouble. Eating @ work. I now do 12hr. Shifts. 0600-1800 or 1800-0600. I don't eat durinng work! 1700-Midnight is still a normal sleep pattern. Just go to bed right when You get home. Have a breakfast, lunch/dinner. If you're heavy, this will cut You down quick! That's what jump started me! ...When I was heavy. I worked 1400-Midnight during a maintenance project we had. All I did was sleep, work, wake and eat... Then back to work. Just my 2¢ BTW... Get too routine on these off shifts, that's when the pounds pack on! Edited October 19, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois
coloradobillsfan Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) if you can find them, there's a line of frozen food called 'Devour'.. all of their products are mucho tasty but I warn you - don't look at the 'nutrition' label - their numbers are off the charts, even by frozen food standards! > you reminded me of the Stouffers lasagna, which I used to love! "It's like - hell yeah I'm stoked for this lasagna! Then you nuke it and the cheese is all scabby.. it's like whatever happened to truth in advertising??"

I was partial to the Pineapple Chicken ones.
Philly McButterpants Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Healthy Choice Grilled Basil Chicken - i would order this at a restaurant and keep going back. 1
Seasons1992 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I "thumbs up'ed" all the meals I've had and can say that are worthwhile.

If you only ate one, calorie counting would be simplified. 1 hour ago, coloradobillsfan said: if you can find them, there's a line of frozen food called 'Devour'.. all of their products are mucho tasty but I warn you - don't look at the 'nutrition' label - their numbers are off the charts, even by frozen food standards! > you reminded me of the Stouffers lasagna, which I used to love!
