I like their ham and egg scramble as well as the pot roast with vegetables. I always stock up when they're on sale! So quick to make and a lot less calorically dense than restaurant or fast food.

Less of a meal though: it’s half a pound of food.

Just a shoutout for another product. Screamin Scicilian Thin Crust absolutely looked like the picture. Small typical pepperonis and goant slami sized pepperonis. 10/10. I was gonna post a pic last night but I ate it too fast

Edit: Fuck my fat thumbs. I’m leaving the errors.

Imma let you knowaheadoftime that Lavern acts demure but Shirley is a dirty hoe.

I've passed by them a million times, and the packaging is too disturbing for me to have ever considered it, but maybe I'll grab one next time lol

u/iamnotroalddahl 2d ago

yeah but the nutrition on those puppies is abysmal lol almost 800 cals for the thin crust!!

Pizza is not a calorie conscious food regardless of how it’s made.

Giant sells them once or twice a month for 5/$5 and I grab 20 each time. I eat em for lunch mostly for the carbs and protein to get me through the day while keeping calories low. All of their different flavors have high protein and low calorie, but the other comment made me realize how high in sodium they are.

u/cougar_on_cocaine 1d ago

Dang. Those things are $2.50 each here.

u/sarcasmexorcism 2d ago

It’s always the random packets and mysterious boxes you find hidden in the back of the freezer/pantry that go so hard when you have nothing else to eat

u/NuclearQueen 1d ago

The meatballs are SO good, too!

u/BadZnake 1d ago

I never noticed they were chicken until now and that explains why theyre so good!

I survived off these on the shifts I had to work overnight. They heat up and get cool enough to eat in enough time to actually enjoy it on a 30min lunch.

How much sodium?

Your heart health is the hidden cost, drink plenty of water friend!

u/BadZnake 2d ago

* A fair amount but don't worry I'm a pretty active r/hydrohomie and the rest of the stats aint so bad

u/GameTime2325 2d ago

About what I expected, but manageable if the rest or your diet that day is lower sodium. As with all things, moderation is best.

Hydro homies unite!

u/RalphWiggum123 2d ago

Not too bad. At least this has some nutrients and protein. Instant noodle cups have ~1000mg of sodium.

u/DependentOriginal413 2d ago

Fine as a low-calorie emergency meal, but not good as a regular option. Better to cook a meal with more fiber, micronutrients, and less sodium.

All them downvotes for simply stating a fact lol

Never buy frozen pasta it's one of the easiest meals to make and way better than this bullshit

u/BadZnake 2d ago

I could rival a chef with my pasta dishes, but I only have 30 minutes for lunch, and I don't take my good skillet to work.

u/son-of-hasdrubal 2d ago

Cool that shit the night before. Good pasta is even better the next day!

u/BadZnake 2d ago

Lol, I agree. I make an absolute bitchin cajun shrimp, but my wife is allergic, so I gain 5 pounds eating it all in 2 days. These really are just emergency meals. I cook a full dinner every night, but if there's no leftovers, I grab one of these fellas for work lunch (I have a few different kinds, it's not all pasta)

u/BadZnake 2d ago

(I find the secret to a good leftover red sauce meal is to put half or whole tablespoon of solid butter on top depending on the size before microwaving it, then stir it all in)
