For lunch, I quite often eat frozen dinners. They are cheap, easy, and for the most part, tasty.
Now, Meijer’s (regional grocery chain) has a whole freezer case full of frozen dinners, so they carry quite a variety. Some of the selections are quite healthy while others are high in fat and starch. Since I am trying to eat healthy, I am picky about what I eat.
So, when I saw a selection of meals by Weight Watchers, I figured that I couldn’t go wrong. After all, Weight Watchers is an organization that is committed to good health, right?
My first Weight Watchers meal was called Fiesta Chicken. It was chicken with squash and black beans with a tangy sauce. It was just the thing I was looking for and it was only 240 calories. Great! So, I threw it in the microwave and began cooking it.
Now, part of the cooking process called for stirring half way through the cooking process. After doing so, I licked off my fork. WOW! It was salty!
When the meal finished cooking, I took a couple of bites and then threw it out. It was too SALTY! 800 mg to be exact.
I won’t be buying Weight Watchers again. If the food is too salt, you can’t eat it. Maybe that is how they help people loose weight.
