Actually...the SmartOnes Cheese and Pepperoni Pizzas are good...and the Three Cheese Ziti Marinara. I know what you are sayin...I am a picky eater anyway....and it's hard to find frozen meals that actually taste good. Hang in there! 

Lean Cuisine dinners are good, also Michelina's Light Gourmets, and the WW Salsbury steak/Macaroni & Cheese, and Turkey medallions with Garlic Mashed Potatoes are very good.  

Thanks you guys for the input. I will definitely try some other brands besides the SmartOnes. I do have a couple Cafe Steamers from Healthy Choice in the freezer, but haven't tried them yet. I'm going to check out the pizzas and turkey medallions for sure.  

Are you able to prepare your own food instead of using the frozen meals? I would hate to see you get off track because you don't feel satisified. Have you tried the Progresso Light Soups, they are decent.  

I love a lot of the Smart Ones meals. They are pretty yummy. Not too filling though. I think it is good to supplement the meals with a nice serving of grapes or your favorite veggie with lowfat dip or a light soup. (And if you buy Smart Ones, get them at Wal-Mart! I've never seen them cheaper anywhere else!) 

My favorite WW meal is the salisbury steak with the asparagus. It really fills me up, and it's only 4 points. Sometimes I add a carb, like a fruit or an alternative bagel. The Lean Cuisine lasagna with meat sauce is also pretty filling. 

I have found that anything of the Smart Ones meals that are "mexican" or say "Santa Fe" are not good! So, I stay away from those - but I like most of of the rest. Especially the three cheese ziti marinara! And I love Lean Cuisine pizzas. But lately I have been stuck on the Healthy Choice meals - they are actually really good and a lot of them add desert! And yes- the frozen Cafe Steamers are really good and filling! Especially the margarita chicken one! Yumm! You just gotta test some different brands and see what you like best. I usually buy a bunch of whatever is on sale! Plus, I'm single so I eat them for dinner a lot... cuz lately I have no desire to cook. lol! :-) 

I got a few on sale today at Walmart that I am eager to try. Most were Lean Cuisine, and I did get a french bread pizza, so we'll see. I cook dinner for the family, but am just eating frozen meals for lunches here at home with the kids so I don't have to dirty dishes. Thanks for everyone's input on my question about good easy meals! Its nice to see what others think... 

The Lean Cuisine French Bread Pepperoni Pizza is very good. I bet you will like it! 

I am eating the Lean Cuisine french bread cheese pizza right now and am really impressed! I could eat this every day!
