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 is just that - a diet for real people who live 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.)
This is a good and creamy Mac and Cheese with a rich cheese flavor. Like most frozen pastas, the macaroni was overdone. Baking in the oven as directed on the package formed a nice crust on top. There's a major drawback in that one serving is 410 calories. This isn't so bad and coupled with a salad or Pan Grilled Broccoli it would make a good meal. The issue that kept it from being a top pick is the amount of saturated fat. At ten grams this is about half the daily amount for those on a 2000 calorie diet -- too much for many people trying to eat healthier.
3 forks out of five.
