FIVE WAYS FROZEN MEALS CAN FUEL SUCCESS

 For the past year, the pandemic has changed Americans’ lives in more ways than they could have ever imagined and that includes their health and wellness habits. In a recent One Poll on behalf of Nutrisystem that surveyed 2,000 Americans, 61 percent of people say they have gained between 6 and 25 lbs since March 2020. While growing health and immunity concerns have us wanting to find ways to eat healthy at home, cooking fatigue has also set in and left us looking for a quicker and easier way to get dinner on the table.The good news is that frozen meals serve up the right solution. According to Courtney McCormick, RD, MPH, manager of clinical research and nutrition at Nutrisystem, frozen meals offer five key benefits:* Frozen Meals are Convenient

The frozen food industry has been working hard to focus on adding ingredients to frozen meals that taste good and are good for you. "Not only do frozen meals deliver on taste, many options today deliver on health too," adds McCormick. Many include vegetables, which are harvested at the peak of freshness when they have the most nutrients. They also cater to the tastes of the entire family and make it easy to try something new.* Frozen Meals are Portion Controlled

Frozen meals not only take the guesswork out of portion control and re-teach reasonable portion sizes. The Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics Evidence-Analysis Library concludes there is strong evidence to support the use of single-serving, portion-con-trolled meals for weight loss.* Frozen Meals are Versatile
