You can go here to view their low carb line. Make sure you click on the "full nutrtional facts" in tiny letters to get the full information so that you can make an informed decision as to what you're eating. For instance, the Honey Dijon Grilled Chicken entree really has 25 grams of carbs per serving.

In my opinion, at about 200 calories, the lean cuisines qualify as a snack rather than a meal, and 13-25 carbs is much too high a count for a snack. Not to mention that most of the carbs they do contain come from the addition of sugary/starchy additive-laden sauces, not the meat and veggies themselves. Personally, I wouldn't touch them with the proverbial 10-foot pole.

I wonder what the difference would be if you just didn't eat the potatoes, pasta, etc...?

They're too salty for me anyhoo.

You would starve Amy! I've tried the LC Smart Ones & the one I tried was good, but it was also a snack, not a meal. Maybe a quick lunch, but not a dinner.
