Sometimes you just can't make it into the kitchen to cook. Dr. Gourmet has reviewed some common convenience foods, ingredients, and restaurant selections so that you know what's worth eating - and what's not.



The Real World Diet

Free Diet Planner for The Real World

The Real World Diet is just that - a diet for living in the real world. So what does that really mean?

Create a two-week custom meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner, for yourself or your entire family - even kids under 14! NO making separate meals.

Shopping lists are automatically generated. Just print and shop for the next two weeks of meals.

Frozen meal options for lunch or dinner (such as Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers).

Easy, kid-friendly meals with leftovers for lunches or later in the week.

Special diet options include Comfort Food (great for families with kids!), Vegetarian (lacto-ovo), low sodium, lactose intolerant, Coumadin (warfarin) use, GERD / Acid Reflux safe, and gluten allergies (celiac disease).

Other websites charge you as much as $29.95 per month for this service, but The Real World Diet is completely free. (We don't even ask for your credit card information.)

Dr. Gourmet's Food Reviews

Whole Foods' 365 Organic Macaroni & Cheese

This is not a bad Mac and Cheese and gets a vote because it is lower in calories and fat. Described by one taster as having a sour creamy flavor. It has a more subtle cheese flavor as opposed to the rich cheddar flavor of the Amy's. This is a good one to keep in the freezer.

3 1/2 forks out of five.
