How to find healthy, satisfying options in the freezer aisle that help you shed pounds.
How to Pick a Healthy Frozen Meal
Don’t feel like slaving over dinner? Or running late and don’t have time to make eggs for breakfast? Luckily, there’s a wide variety of quick and healthy frozen meal options that make you feel full and help you reach your weight loss goals. When you’re browsing the freezer aisle, consider three things: serving size, sugar, and sodium. While a single dish may look like one serving, the label may reveal it’s actually a dinner for two or three. Some frozen meals also pack tons of sodium and sugar (certain dishes eat up 75 percent of your daily sodium allowance in just one dish!). The following 25 frozen meals keep these three factors in check—and pack major flavor.
