Customer Favorites Entrée Pack | Ready to Eat Meals – Shelf Stable, No Refrigeration | Prepared Meals for Lunch or Dinner | 6 Premade, High-Protein, Low-Calorie | 7–8 oz Microwave-Ready

I was apprehensive when ordering these, as the price was a little high, but I was very impressed with the taste and quality of all the meals. I ordered the 6-count, and all were very tasty and seasoned well. Most low-calorie meals are very bland. These are excellent. I will be ordering more for sure.

These dinners are easy to prepare in about 1-1 1/2 minutes in the microwave. They are good portion control and I found the Turkey Bean Chili to be the best meal in the set! That I'm going to order again by itself because it tastes much better than a canned chili. These are easy to keep on hand in your pantry or cupboards and make meals available and on hand all the time without any need to take up refrigerator or freezer space! Most of these meals are better if you have a veggie side dish! But with the Turkey Bean Chili all I need is some tortilla chips and some sour cream! Yum! ~The Rebecca Review

Four of Five in this kit are fine. One is ... well, wet cardboard. I was introduced to the HMR meal line some 7 or 8 years ago when hit 244 @ 5'10" and needed to "do something" . I followed the program - dropped 50 in 12 weeks flat. Amazing results.The program is 3-4 shakes per day and two of these. I did add the benefit bar along the way (very tasty). Since then I've yo-yo'd and HMR is my "go to" program. It works. Its tough, but it does work. Please realize what this is. HMR produces (at least my exp. w/ their products) for specific medically monitored weight loss programs. They work. These are small portion size meals, designed to be stable in room temp so you can carry them with you, and not have to struggle w/ keeping something chilled (eliminate excuses) The Chicken parm and Lasagna are a little bland, but not bad. The turkey chili has just a little pep to it. The beet stroganoff tastes just a wee bit artificial or packaged (it is) but again - for $4 and I can carry it in my backpack and warm it up - its just fine. Not so w/ the enchilada. Also - the oatmeal is really quite good.

Three of the 5 meals were very old. The chicken was stringy and the sauce tasted awful. Chicken pasta parmesan especially. The other 2 were fresh and tasted good. The value for the money is not that good. Each meal was about 3/4 of a cup. They tell you to add a veggie or other side which defeats the purpose. I bought so that I would not have to cook. If it's a meal I should only need to add heat and a fork. I will continue to search for a reasonable alternative. These were not consistent with taste and age. All meals should be fresh. That is a quality issue that needs addressing.

100% gross and every kind in the 6pack. What do you think is in this to allow it to be unrefrigerated and to only cook a few minutes at that? Highly disappointed and feel it is not a healthy choice, just our experience however.

Good variety pack and they actually taste good.

As of the date of this review (10/11/19), HMR offers 17 different dinners. (See their website). I've tried 16 of them, and liked all except: Mushroom Risotto and Pasta Fagioli were too spicy. Didn't care for the taste of: Whole Grain Medley with Chicken. Didn't try the Lentil Stew yet. Yes, the meals are small. They come in a microwavable tray that is 3.75" x 5.25". To be stored at room temp. These are NOT frozen. All are under 300 calories, with the highest calorie count being Chicken with Barbecue Sauce at 280 calories, but it has 19 gms of protein. The meals alone are less than satisfying, though. It is important to buy their protein shakes and have 2-3 shakes each day. They taste good, and keep you satiated (feeling full - satisfied.) Also, I recommend supplementing your meal with either a salad or cooked vegetable. I think the price for these meals is reasonable, and to me, they taste better than the frozen diet meals from the supermarket.

The ratings were so good on this food line that I was highly optimistic! The price point is certainly exceptional. Product was delivered timely and in good packing condition. #1) I opted for the chicken pasta first. The sauce wasn't bad at all. The pasta shells also were good;not mushy, not hard. This dish failed with the chicken. It was dark meat chicken alternating between fatty and grisly with a gamey flavor. I couldn't get the chicken down. #2) Being a pasta lover I had high hopes for the lasagna next. I couldn't even get 4 bites down. The flavor and texture just flipped my stomach. The noodles were mush. Please forgive me but the meat filling smell reminded me of canned dog food. There was hardly any sauce. Had there been more sauce it may have covered up the meat smell. Keep in mind, I eat Chef Boy R D canned ravioli. I'm not a food snob. #3) The chilli pictured on the box looked delicious so I hoped for the best on day 3. I'm not sure what was in that container but I would not feed that to my dog. I eat Hormel canned Chili so again...I'm not a food snob. That container of "chili" was vile...inedible. I checked the boxes again. The containers were still in date by several months. I can't figure out all the 5 stars reviews for this food. Sometimes you buy a packaged food that doesn't live up to expectations but you can save it by adding some additional ingredients from home. The Lasagna and Chili are not salvageable in my opinion. I have eaten other diet program foods such as Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig. These 3 HMR meals fall below those in both flavor and quality. The good news is that you dont lose much money. If you can find 1 meal out of the 5 that you actually like it is worth the dollar loss on the other 4. I would encourage the company to consider a more expensive line with higher quality ingredients and a greater investment in flavor. I think most people would spend a little more money to get something they actually enjoy eating. I'll update this when I get to the last 2 meals. My final thought is that I would rather spend a couple extra dollars per meal and buy something from my grocery store that I know I would enjoy eating until this company comes out with a higher quality food line.
