I joined a research project for people with food issues (too much).
One of the classes _recommended_ using the frozen meals because they
are portion controlled, something a lot of the members of the class
found difficult to adjust. The class went berserk the week the
supermarket had "Lean Cuisine" meals on sale $2 each. they were all
stocking up on the buggers.

When I was single, and they were relatively new for the microwave, I
used to buy them. Not bad. A portion of protein, vegetable, starch,
and a sauce of some sort or another. Once I realized that, I saved a
dozen of the plates and cooked my own meals, portioned them out, and
froze them. When I first got married, the plan fell apart, since I
would cook what should feed us for the week on a Sunday, and there'd
be enough for me for lunch the next day after my appreciative groom
got done.
