How long can frozen meals stay in the freezer?

Go ahead and stock up. You can keep most frozen meals in the freezer for about three to six months. However, you'll want to make sure they're in their original packaging or sealed in an air-tight container to prevent freezer burn.

Are frozen meals healthy?

Once upon a time, frozen meals weren't considered very healthy, but these days you have lots of options, many of which offer some health benefits. The best thing to do when shopping for frozen meals is to check your labels. Try to stick to meals that are under 500 calories and have less than 500 milligrams of sodium. Also, look for meals that have a lot of vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit how many meals you eat that contain sugary sauces, calorie-rich gravies, and fried foods.

Frozen meals are usually designed for convenience, which means most of them can be heated up in the microwave. Always check your labels for specific instructions, as some may have other requirements or may need to be cooked in the oven or on the stove.
