...have sampled many of the weightwatchers ready meals, some pleasing me more than others, the most recent one that I tried was the _Beef Lasagne_. As I am quite a fan of lasagne, I was quite excited to try this, but also slightly scared, what if it put me off Lasagne forever?!
My mum was going out on a night out, and I knew I couldnt be bothered to cook myself a meal from scratch the particular night, so down I trailed to tesco in search of something ... ...not a dieter, however the weightwatchers ready meals are infact designed for the people following the weight watchers diet. Studying the packaging closer, I am told that this ready meal counts towards 5 weight watchers points- not bad for a meal. If you arent on the diet but were interested in the calories content, this meal contains a rather low 259 calories, and only 8.3g of fat, of which 4.2 saturates. The description which is given to this product, ...

Advantages: It's low in calories Disadvantages: It's low in lasagne, low in beef, low in taste, low in colour, just low in general really..
Before we start I just have to say I am not a lover of micro type meals, whether diet versions or not they all generally taste like soggy cardboard. This is why I was intrigued by a recent review courtesy of Aimeelouise18 on a Beef Lasagne, which she said was delicious AND weightwatchers. I just had to buy some.
On our next supermarket trip Dean and I happened to spy the product in the freezer section of our local Co-op. Well, happened to spy is ... ...box which was almost screaming at us from three aisles away. We decided to pick up a couple of packs because the picture on the front of this mouthwatering Lasagne coupled with Aimee's recommendation was just too much to bear. The fact that they were on BOGOF had nothing to do with it.
Once home I stashed my Lasagne and threatened to eat it at random intervals, usually dissuaded by an offer of a take away. The diet was well and truly out of the ...

Advantages: tastes gorgeous,is good for for you Disadvantages: the price,it runs out too quickly.
This op is dedicated to those of us who spend our time looking and obsessing with what we are eating.Always worried about how much calories we are eating and how much fat we are consuming every day.Wouldn't it be nice to just be able to eat something without worrying what is in it?
Well look no further.Here is a product that is not only good for you...It actually tastes fantastic!
*Weight Watchers Beef Lasagne*
At last something that I love which ... ...always thought that weight watchers food wouldn't be filling,it would taste horrible because it has flavourings and stuff missing,and that it would be a complete waste of money.However seem as though I've been watching my weight lately and I wanted something quick for dinner and there was an offer on at kwik save I decided what the hell it's only 99p (a bargain I know!).So that was the start of a now lovign relationship between me and my beef lasagne.

Advantages: slimming if folllowed as part of dieting regime Disadvantages: not much of it
Having overcome the first week of dieting, I am now on the Heinz weight watchers ready-made meals. These are currently on offer at my local supermarket at three for £5. I picked up Beef lasagne, Ocean pie and Mexican chilli. Last night everybody was having steaming, piled plates of Spaghetti Bolognese, so I thought I could follow their theme and have the closest to it. I must admit I had one of those self righteous moments as I pulled the package ... ...going to have the healthier of the choices with this.
I also have to admit I was daunted by the size of these meals when I first got them, (they are small!) as I truly love my food, and generally eat healthy sized portions. But the week I have spent beforehand dieting on vegetable soup (recipe available in low fat and diet foods in Ciao Café section later today) had given me a craving for anything rich and my stomach had shrunk enough to welcome ...

Advantages: quick to cook in microwave Disadvantages: hardly any beef mince,runny sauce, where is the cheese topping?
...thought i would try the weightwatchers frozen Beef Lasagne, I purchased this from Tesco as it was on offer at £1 and looked quite appetising from the picture.
Packaging;-
It was in a bright purple card box which has apicture of the lasagne on the front. It shows a generous double layer of meat, lasagne and white sauce topped with cheese.
Description;-
Layers of Lasagne filled with lean minced Beef cooked in a rich Tomato sauce, topped with a ... ...plastic tray with the lasagne covered with a clear plastic film. The meal is dissappointing to look at as there was only a few token shavings of grated cheese on the top of a thin layer of sauce. However I followed the instructions to remove the film and decided to microwave it for 6 minutes full power then 5 minutes 30 seconds on defrost and at the end of cooking stand for 1 minute. (this can be cooked in a conventional oven at 200 for 40-45 minutes).

Advantages: easy to perpare Disadvantages: cost isn't cheap
Hi,
I guess I should first tell you that I don't have a favorite meal here in the weight watchers area, I am very new at this as you all must know and found out. I don't write much but I can tell you that I have tried most of these products from weight watchers. I eat mostly pasta and to me in the box's they come in are direct to the point of the item in the box. They are simple and not alot of fat in them. I like them because you can put them into ... ...in all kinds of sizes from small meals to large meals. I myself like the fact that they are already cooked and all you are doing is warming them up. The food in the box's taste to me as if I made them from scratch. But when your on a diet and keeping your weight down this is the best way to go. It is premesured out and to what you have to have for the meal. I may not be a smart person in writing but I do know what tastes great to me. Everyone has ...

Advantages: Controlled calories - quick and easy Disadvantages: Small portions
...by counting calories, and using Weightwatchers meals from Heinz as my main meal of the day.
I am not usually a great pasta lover, but I must say that these little meals from Weightwatchers are quite tasty, and your stomach does (eventually) adjust to the smaller portions.
I began each day with a long glass of ice cold water. Then at lunch-time I would have a home-made sandwich plus a fat-free yoghurt, making sure to add up the calories as I went. ... ...I have for years.
Weightwatchers meals come in many different varieties, eg:
Shepherds Pie; Chicken Curry; Ocean Pie; Sweet & Sour Chicken; Beef Hotpot; Chicken Hotpot; Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce; Beef Lasagne; Fiesta Chicken; Chicken In Barbecue Sauce, etc.
All these flavours are delicious, and even though I have reached my target weight I enjoy them so much, and find them so quick and easy to use, that I still eat them for most of my evening ...
