People are always telling you how bad frozen dinners are for you (like you had a choice between that and a private chef to cook for you, but you’re poor and live alone and don’t want to put any effort into something that only YOU are going to eat) but the worst part is that you know they are right. It’s ok to have one every once in a while but not for every meal, but it is NEVER ok to have any of the 7 on this list. I give you, the worst of the worse frozen dinners. After the jump!
The 7 Unhealthiest Frozen Dinners.
#1.) The Hot Pockets Calzone with Pepperoni. Here’s a good rule of thumb: The more ingredients something has, the worse it is for you. And the Hot Pockets Calzone has over a HUNDRED ingredients.
#2.) Kashi’s Sweet and Sour Chicken. Most Kashi products are fairly healthy. But this one is LOADED with sugar. One serving has 25 grams of it , which is the same as two DONUTS.
#3.) Banquet’s Boneless Pork Ribs. The first red flag should be the way it’s described on the box. They call it a, quote, “shaped patty meal.” Then if you look at the ingredients, you’ll find out it contains all kinds of junk . . . including MSG.
#4.) Boston Market’s Chicken Pot Pie. The kind they sell frozen at the grocery store has 780 calories and 48 grams of fat. Just to put that in context, a Big Mac has 260 calories and 29 grams of fat.
#5.) Totino’s Party Pizza with Hamburger. One serving has 5 grams of trans fat, which raises your “bad” cholesterol and lowers you “good” cholesterol.
#6.) Bourbon Steak Strips from Hungry Man. It has 9 grams of saturated fat, and 72% of the salt you should get in a day.
#7.) Buitoni’s Four Cheese Spinach Ravioli. If you only eat one serving, it’s not that bad. The problem is, it has two servings per box and the box is about the same size as a normal SINGLE-serving frozen dinner.
If you eat BOTH servings, which a lot of people do, you end up getting 42 grams of fat, two-thirds of the cholesterol you’re supposed to get in a day, and 78% of the salt.
