I keep a couple of Stouffers Sensations in the freezer for a quick meal when I have no time. Taste is good. Several types and healthier than Hungry Man
That's no surprise. Eating at restaurants on a regular basis is generally quite unhealthy. The worst usually are the "casual dining" chains - Earl's, Moxies, East Side Mario's, Montana's, Boston Pizza, Original Joe's, etc. which usually feature pre-prepared, heavily processed, high calorie, high sodium, high fat foods, and usually in far too large portions. Fine dining restaurants are only marginally better - they usually feature fresh (or fresher) ingredients, any they may have an actual cook or chef, and occasionally the portions are more reasonable, but the focus is on taste and presentation, not health - there's still too many calories, too much sodium and too much fat. It's no problem to eat out once in a while, but restaurant fare should not be a regular part of your diet.Researchers at the University of Toronto assessed the nutrition information for almost 700 meals at 19 sit-down restaurants in Canada (i.e. Earl’s Kitchen and Bar and East Side Mario’s). They found that the average meal contained 1,128 calories, which is more than half of the 2,000 calories recommended for most people per day. If you are thinking you should just start ordering salads, think again. Some salads reviewed in the study provided almost 1,400 calories. Additionally, restaurant meals exceeded or provided the majority of daily recommendations for:
• sodium (151% of daily recommendations)
• saturated and trans fat (83%)
• cholesterol (60%)

Maybe there is a good reason I haven't got the fat gut that many gourmet diners do have even though I admit to eating Hungry Man dinners ... :thumb:
KD & Libby's Deep Brown beans was our staple living off campus. We weren't exactly poor - it's just that the lion's share of what we had went to booze.When I was poor and living on Springhurst, I used to load up on Kraft Dinners and Libby's Beans. With the occasional Big Mac when I needed a good bowel movement.
At that time we used to call McDonald's, McDumpies. A Big Mac worked better than any laxative.KD & Libby's Deep Brown beans was our staple living off campus. We weren't exactly poor - it's just that the lion's share of what we had went to booze.
Going off topic for a bit, Anyone remember the Eddie Shack , Glad Garbage Bag commercial, where he couldn't punch his way out of a plastic garbage bag, to show how strong and durable the bag was?Oh wow, what a great YouTube find! Man, I haven't seen that commercial in what...40 yrs? Brian Glennie had the hardest hip check in the NHL, he was a great defenceman. One of the classics, although I'm not sure who talked him into that haircut lol. I'm surprised at how small Lanny MacDonald is in the chest and shoulders. Totally different time for athletes.....
There is a kernel of truth to that statement. He did cob a plea.Are you trying to Husk up your secret?
