You really have to watch those. They can be packed with TONS of sodium and chemicals. You're better off making meals at home and separating them into small portions in tupperware containers. Not to mention a lot of those meals are like 400 calories and theres barely any food in them. They often use things like white rice etc. when you can substitute those things for healthier options like brown rice and such. It's like those 100 calorie snack packs, you can have like 4 cookies or you can have 100 calories worth of vegetables (trust me, it turns out to be a lot) or fruit etc. which will be more filling. get enough bang for your calorie buck :)

There is really no secret to weight loss. All you need to do is eat less calories than your body burns in a day. One thing that is very important is to make sure that you are eating a healthy amount of carbs, proteins, and fats. Adding a 45 minute walk to your day also helps a lot in the weight loss process. There are also supplements that you can use to help give your metabolism a boost as well as add vitamins and anti-oxidants to your diet. One you should check out is the Acai Berry which is considered a Super Food because of its nutrients.

What they are good for is to control portions. If you’re going to eat something in addition to them add a salad w/ <100 cal in dressing or a fruit.

The two that you mentioned aren't necessarily unhealthy for you, but read the labels carefully to see if they contain a lot of salt or partially hydrogenated oils (if the latter, don't buy them if possible). I would not call them "good for weight loss" but I wouldn't say they are unhealthy, either. In addition to exercise, the best way to lose weight is to prepare most of your own foods, so that you control the ingredients and because processed foods often contain lots of stuff that you don't want to eat a much of (this is because of BAD doctors' and government studies in the early 1960s that made cholesterol out to be the main cause of heart disease--and that's a lie, it isn't.). So, prepare and eat: *High protein *Lots of fresh fruits and veggies *Plenty of fiber (whole grain breads, cereals if you eat cereal for breakfast). My favorite bread is Roman Meal. You can be grill master for the protein, fresh fruit can simply be purchased and put in a bowl, and veggies don't require a lot of preparation (just steam them or cook them in water in the microwave for just a few minutes). So this is all quite easy to make. Drinking green tea is also helpful. Sweeten it with honey, not sugar (brown sugar is okay, though). I also recommend three supplements: ginseng; and those that you can find at the links below.
