Last Friday I went back to the grocery store, and loaded up on Lean Cuisine meals while they were still on sale. I skipped the ones that were regularly prices at $2.29, and went for the ones that were regularly $3.19. There weren’t too many of those left, but grabbed all of the ones I was interested in. Then I went after the ones that were regularly prices at $2.99. There was a great selection of these. I tried to grab at least one or two of each. Even then I didn’t manage to get all of them. I skipped some of the ones that had a higher amount of fat in them, and went for the ones with the lowest amount of fat. I need to take a calculator so I calculate out the percentage of fat calories.
Anyway, this morning for breakfast I ate the Lean Cuisine Chicken Cabonara (roasted chicken tenderloins with bacon & mushrooms over linguine). It was regularly priced ay $2.99. So a $1.66 was a great price. I hesitated on this one because of the 7 grams of fat. But I love spaghetti carbonara! The total calories were 270, with 7 grams of fat or 60 fat calories making up about 22% of the total calories. It took 5 minutes of microwave time. Just had to stir it when it was done cooking. It smelled great when cooking. Then it tasted great. It doesn’t have the texture of actual spaghetti carbonara, and the taste is a little different. But it is a very good. I will probably eat more of these every once in a while. But due to the higher fat calorie percentage, I will probably limit how often. But it was really good!
