At 180 calories in an 8 oz tray this is the smallest, lightest meal here, so it eats more like a lunch than a full dinner and may leave you hungry. (source)
The honest take
18g protein for only 180 calories, the best protein to calorie ratio of these five meals, and it is certified gluten free and American Heart Association certified. The label reads 18g protein, 180 calories, 17g carbs, 4.5g fat, 2g fiber, 4g sugar, 580mg sodium per 1 package (226g / 8 oz).
Here is the tradeoff. At 180 calories in an 8 oz tray this is the smallest, lightest meal here, so it eats more like a lunch than a full dinner and may leave you hungry. Skip it if you want a meal filling enough to be a full dinner.

What buyers say
Eric Sornoso, FounderAug 10, 2026
The best protein per calorie pick in the Lean Cuisine lineup, and it is certified gluten free. 18 grams of protein at 180 calories makes a solid lunch. Just know it is a light meal, so I pair it with a side or it will not hold me until dinner.
