Anyone eat schwans?

[hoyle21]

And no not their pizza. Looks like they have some decent frozen veggie mixes and fish.

Just wondering if it's been processed to shit and if it's any good.

 

[exphys88]

They're food is awesome, but most is processed crap. I was raised on American shit food, so I enjoy it, but stay away from it now that I know better.

 

[hoyle21]

Ok, thanks. I noticed they had some veggie mixes and fruits. I'd like to start eating more chicken stir fry. Thought maybe that would be an easy, convenient solution.

 

[exphys88]

They may be, I'm not sure about those specifically, but a lot of their meals are highly processed, delicious crap.

Well, I'm going to look into it. Im not really looking to stock up on pizza and ice cream. I would imagine the stir fry and fruits are fairly decent.

I'll just wave him down and ask questions.

 

[exphys88]

I bet you can track down some nutrition facts on some of their products. If its just frozen fruit and veggies, then they may be good.

A calorie is a calorie, so from the standpoint of just trying to be lean and build muscle, it prob doesn't matter all that much where the macros come from.
But, from a cancer, diabetes, and heart disease standpoint, processed foods aren't the best choice.
I guess it depends on what your goals are, if you care or not.

Also very true.

Yes!
There are very few absolutes in this field. If you don't like to run, don't run. If you don't like yams, don't eat them.

Looks good, I didn't even know they had veggies. I was too busy buying mud pies and frozen pizzas.

They do carry a lot of food that is clearly not healthy. I have a hard time finding frozen veggies that I like.

I'm very picky. I also hate mushrooms. I only eat them for fun.

I hear ya, I really don't enjoy eating veges either. I'm just about to force down some steamed zucchini though.

 

[bdeljoose]

I love their pot pies and veggies mixed with mini pasta. It is crap but I can't help myself.

is that sean connerys way of saying swans?


if so then no sir i do not eat schwans..

 

[MuscleGauge1]

It's very processed. stay away from it!

 

[Powermaster]

Schwans is mostly garbage. If you really care about what you eat buy fresh unprocessed stuff. If you just want stuff that taste good, schwans is for you but have fun pooping in a diaper while trying to remember your name when you are 60 years old.

LOL here's some nutrition info: Schwan's Nutritional Information - Page 2

Looks like nearly everything they have/had carried. My advice, If u want perfect, stay away and plan on controlling a whole a lot more in your life to achieve perfection. Spoil yourself once a month or so, reward the hard work, i am sure you will die no sooner then u should. Don't forget to stop now and then in this rat race and enjoy My two cents.
