**really any of the paninis are great :)
Go for smart ones! they are all very tasty. especially the enchaladas
The Lean Cuisine paninis are amazing. They actually do not taste low fat. They are usually the first ones to sell out at the grocery store, too.
I really like the Lean Cuisine brick oven BBQ chicken pizza. I even eat those when I'm not on a diet. Delicious and they come out of the microwave perfectely crispy.
smart ones are good and most contain a full serving of veggies. with any of these frozen foods you have to watch the sodium content, a lot of sodium will make you bloated. you can always add some hot sauce, or other condiments to spruce them up a little, some are bland. good luck.
Sweet and Sour Chicken
None of these are tasty or particularly healthy. Ever notice how the portions are tiny? That's because they aren't healthy, and they have to make the serving small so they won't have a ridiculous number of calories.
Buy some chicken and some vegetables. grill the chicken and steam the vegetables. If you need quick food sometimes, do it ahead of time, put them into plastic boxes and reheat later.
