Diet Meals

[clara55]

I often wonder why people pay lots of money for ready made diet food such as diet chef etc surely its much more economical to buy and make your own meals, and tastier

[Mamyalynne]

It is.

[Tilly2]

You could say that about most ready made meals, not just the diet ones.

[Maydup]

I agree, but you could say the same for any ready meals. Sometimes its just easier.

[mallyh]

might be because if you prepare it yourself the portion size would be larger ,the prepared foods are already sized .

I am too tired to give you a long sensible answer to this.

It depends on the person but things like portion control, unable to cook etc etc.

[Prudie]

It is but they are particularly convenient - I'm probably not alone in not wanting to faff about when getting home from work and hungry.

[Old_Geezer]

Folk will pay for convenience. At least some will. If you find cooking a chore rather than a joy, then you'll find "better" things to do.

Nutritional and dietary information is available on ready made , prepacked food. Many dieters have a daily calorie/fat/sugar limit. Some may find it difficult to add this up if making meals from scratch.

Indeed you will, OG....be it diet meals or just ready meals......

I can cook well but it's such a bind and bores me to tears so I will do anything rather than cook....

But on the other hand....I find it odd that folk buy ready made curtains...☺

"and tastier "

Maybe that's their secret? They taste so ruddy 'orrible, you can't bring yourself to eat any more of it and the pounds drop off!

[ummmm]

I like cooking but I hate washing up. If I lived alone I'd probably live off salads.

[woofgang]

Simple answer, because they choose to and because it works for them. people pay for ready made curtains (lol Gness), ready knitted clothes, they pay people to paint their houses and tidy their gardens, they don't grow all their own veg or keep chickens for eggs. Paying someone to cook their food is no different IMO.

[gness]

No different at all, is it Woof....☺...my farm shop sells an amazing selection of frozen ready meals....cooked by some local farmer's wives....no added rubbish....just tasty meals.

When I've eaten I raise my glass and thank, Betty or Marge or Lucinda....for a delicious dinner......☺
