I want a healthy diet but also want something that doesnt take much effort or cost alot.
It looks like my only option is frozen ready meals, but they have a bad reputation in terms of nutrition in terms of calories, salt, and fat.
But are all frozen ready meals really that bad for me?
I decided to try some frozen ready meals that were low in cost and relatively healthy, this is in preparation for if i do go to university when money and time will be tight so this ready meals need to be cheap and quick.

I would have to say the winner overall is the ASDA good for you tomato, chicken and basil pasta. It was really yummy, i dont think i could have made it better myself. The chicken was really juicy and tender and there were whole cherry tomatoes thrown in there too,they were grilled and very sweet.
It was also really filling and only took 40mins in the oven or 10mins itops n the microwave depending on the watt of your microwave. I do prefer to oven cook but it didnt really taste any different microwaved, it just saves a bit of time.
