Over worked, short on time? Americans need convenience and frozen dinners provide that to us. It is possible to eat healthy and "zap" a meal! It is almost impossible to choose a frozen dinner, while strolling down the frozen food isle. There are so many choices. You want to look for options that are tasty, healthy, low on calories, salt, and fats. Thankfully all the hard work is done for you. All you have to do is read and compare the labels. Following these easy steps will ensure that you get it right every time.

STEPS TO FINDING YUMMY FROZEN DINNERS:

Know the calorie, sodium, and fats range you would like to stay in per frozen dinner (usually around 300 calories/ 8 grams of fat for a light meal, up to 400 calories/25 grams of fat for a regular frozen dinner, and dinners with less than 800 milligrams of sodium)

Look at the portion size. This can be deceiving. Make sure that calories are for the whole frozen dinner not for half of the dinner, who eats half a frozen dinner anyway?

Look for the Frozen dinners with lots of veggies. You are getting a lot more bang for your buck and calories that way.

Do not be afraid to experiment -- try something new and different.
