Frozen meals vs Shakeology

Do you eat a Lean Cuisine or some other frozen meal for lunch every day (like I used to)?

Take a close look at the ingredients list of Linguine Carbonara:

Blanched Linguine (Water, Semolina, Wheat Gluten), Skim Milk, Peas, Water, Bacon (Cured With: Water, Salt, Sugar, Smoke Flavoring, Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrite), Red Peppers, Onions, 2% Or Less Of Soybean Oil, Parmesan Cheese (Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes), Modified Cornstarch, Asiago Cheese (Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes), Potassium Chloride, Dried Cream Extract, Salt, Chicken Flavor (Salt, Yeast Extract, Maltodextrin, Chicken Powder, Flavor, Soy Sauce (Soybean, Wheat, Salt)), Yeast Extract, Bleached Wheat Flour, Potato Starch, Sugar, Enzyme Modified Parmesan Cheese (Cultured Milk, Water, Salt, Enzymes), Garlic Puree, Spices, Whey Protein Concentrate, Xanthan Gum
