1-Lean Cuisine – Glazed Chicken (listen, it doesn’t really matter which Lean C product we look at – they are all processed the same way).
There is nothing “lean” about it – especially if you are talking about eating something to help create a sexy, toned and strong body.
Let’s get past the marketing buzz words and nice pretty packaging and get the heart and soul – the all important ingredient list!
Check it out (direct from the product website):
Ingredient List:Cooked chicken tenderloins (chicken tenderloins, high fructose corn syrup, water, corn oil, modified cornstarch, lemon juice concentrate, sodium phosphates, salt, caramel color, potassium chloride, garlic, onion, paprika, spice), water, blanched enriched long grain rice (rice, ferric phosphate, niacin, thiamin mononitrate and folic acid), green beans, mushrooms, onions, blanched wild rice, modified cornstarch, sugar, salt, cultured whey, chicken fat, lemon juice concentrate, caramel color, dehydrated onions, spices, dehydrated garlic, paprika
Yeaaaah…um, I think I’m gonna have to pass…and if I were you, I would too!
2-“Multi-grain” Wheat Thins
Ohhh, but it says “multi-grain” – it must be healthy, right?
Wrong.
Again, let’s skip the marketing buzz word crap and flip over to the ingredient list…and we find:
(taken directly from Wheat Thin’s website) –
Ingredient List: Enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid, whole wheat flour, vegetable shortening (partially hydrogenated soybean oil) rolled oats, sugar, high fructose corn syrup...
Don’t get me started on how horrible “partially hydrgonented…anything” is for your body…
Yup – gonna have to pass on this one too ;)
