microwavable meals

Dangerfirepower Posts: 4 Joined: 2002/04/03	2002/04/13, 12:32 PM hi, being that i work many days a week its hard for me to eat a good dinner while im at work. i was wondering if this was a good dinner. Its a stauffers (?) baked chicken breast with mashed potatoes (i think those are bad) with an apple and a glass of milk. the entire meal would have 545 calories 23 grams of fat 56 grams of carbohydrates 35 grams of protein is this meal okay to eat. I am looking to gain mass

Check out the following link: http://www11.netrition.com/zone_perfect_meal_page.html Something like these meals would be much better for you. This isn't the only company that makes the meals, so just look around and you should find something. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

Oh, you'll gain mass eating what you eat, that's not the problem, but the mass that you'll be gaining will be FAT! -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

If that is not an option there are better choices. A salad and some chicken (something like that)from the grocery deli would still be a better choice. -------------- Persistence and failure never stay in the same room......Leslie

Assuming you're consuming skim milk and a medium apple, your chicken & mash is supplying almost 5 grams of fat per 100 calories. I definitely agree with the above comments ... you could also try a MRP.
