Thread: Are Lean Pockets a healthy meal replacement?

I am considering eating Whole Wheat Lean Pockets rather than eating a full meal. They have protein and vegetables and they seem to be reasonably healthy. I also eat plenty of fruits and not much else. Would a diet like this help me lose weight or just stabilize it?

They are better than many things, and worse than many things. I keep some in my freezer, and nuke one every once in a while when I get a craving, sure. But limit them, they are far from a "health" food - they are just leaner than regular hot pockets, which ain't sayin much, lol.

A diet like this will quickly run down your body. You need a certain amount of calories to sustain yourself, and although lean pockets are reasonably low in calories, they are not necessarily healthy. They are very high in sodium. Please speak to a nutritionist and your doctor before you continue your plan.

ummm i canot put it any simpler than NO

Judging by the amount of sodium and preservatives that make their home in hotpockets, I would have to say you should pass on this meal replacement "plan".

haha I didnt even know they made whole wheat hot pockets, good marketing using the word lean in the title by the company though.

nice information guys!

i usually dont take meal replacements..

The biggest problem with processed food like lean pockets is that they're very high in sodium, which is bad for your heart.
