Lasagna Anyone?
Who doesn’t love lasagna? It’s the kind of pasta almost everybody loves. However it’s not exactly the kind of food you would expect to have in a diet program that is supposed to help you with weight loss, right?
Well, it’s different with Nutrisystem. This video features a Nutrisystem dieter, who is just about to have his dinner. For dinner, he is having a portion-controlled lasagna from Nutrisystem For Men. The menu and meals for Nutrisystem For Men are designed specifically to fulfill the daily requirements of men.
Here today for dinner, my last meal for the day. I’ve got here lasagna with meat sauce. I’m a big fan of Italian food. I love lasagna. So I have high expectations. It’s beef, ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese with layers of tender pasta with textured vegetable protein added. That sounds great, textured vegetable protein. Yum!
He adds:
As you can see here, this is what it looks like on the box. Isn’t that just pretty? It’s got real vegetables …the point is, doesn’t that look pretty? So what does it really look like?
Unfortunately, he wasn’t too happy to see the real deal. What appears on the package isn’t exactly the same as the product itself. Related Read: Here’s Where To Get Hold Of Nutrisystem Frozen Foods
Right there. That’s the real deal. That’s okay because it’s the inside that counts, right? So, it smells like lasagna. It looks like lasagna that’s been punished but it’s still lasagna. So let’s see the most important thing. Does it taste like the lasagna? Yeah! It tastes like lasagna. That’s pretty good! It has actually got real vegetables too.
The most important thing about the product is the taste. Here’s what he has to say about it:
So taste wise, it is pretty good. With Nutrisystem food …you can’t expect gourmet but you can still expect tasty. I would say the lasagna with meat sauce is a solid ten out of ten. It is very good, very meaty. It’s a little bit bigger than most Nutrisystem dinner entrees and that may not be saying much but when you’re on a diet, you’ll take every bite that you can get.
How About Some Ravioli In Basil Tomato Sauce?
Here’s another pasta dish from Nutrisystem. Yes, it’s another pasta dish. That’s good because with Nutrisystem, you don’t really have to give up pasta just because you want to lose weight. Related read: Here Are The Latest Nutrisystem Reviews
This next diet dish is a ravioli dish. Sounds yummy but don’t rush into conclusion yet. Instead, take a look at the review first.
It’s my dinner for today, Ravioli In Basil Tomato Sauce. I like meat but it’s got cheese and I tend to like ravioli. Doesn’t it look nice? Looks pretty good, huh?
Again, there is a comparison between the photo on the package and the actual product itself.
This is how it looks like in real life. Not quite as appetizing looking but honestly, it doesn’t look too bad from where I’m sitting. Just never the same. That’s to be expected. It never matches the box.
Just like the lasagna, this particular ravioli dish doesn’t really match the photo on the package. However, it really isn’t that bad after all.
Let me try a piece, see how it tastes like. Not bad. Definitely taste some cheese in there. Definitely taste the basil and the tomato. Slightly spicy sauce. The noodles are tender. The cheese is gooey. It’s not bad. I wish it has a little bit more … Parmesan flavor … a little more intense flavor but overall, it’s pretty good. So I give the Ravioli In Basil Tomato Sauce a nine out of ten.
Would You Actually Eat Their Mac And Cheese With Beef?
When it comes to mac and cheese, those cheesy and cheap versions are hard to beat. They taste good but they’re really not good for us.
Nutrisystem has a healthier version but is it worth a try? Take a look at this video and see if it’s actually worth a try.
The Mac and Cheese with Beef from Nutrisystem is prepared differently as compared to the two other dishes previously mentioned.
Preparation, like with all Nutrisystem foods, is very simple. With this one, you just peel back the lid halfway. Pour in five ounces of hot water. Stir it. Put back the lid. Do what I do, which is put the fork …on top. So it keeps the lid there. Then wait eight to ten minutes.
Again, this particular dish doesn’t really look outstanding.
Looks like you’re getting your typical Chef Boyardee or something.
The video goes on to give more reviews on the taste.
The nice thing about it, this one has blue cheeses in it. It’s pretty cool … They have actually real cheese in here. They also have beef here, which is also pretty nice because a lot of the Nutrisystem food, at least the ones that I got, don’t have beef or chicken or real meat in them. Some of them do … like plant protein, which is fine. Me, I’m a meat eater. So I appreciate the beef.
Nutrisystem boasts of protein rich foods, most of which come from plant sources. However, the meals are really carefully balanced and would also contain protein from animal sources when necessary. Related read: Enjoy Savings With a Nutrisystem Coupon Code
Something I really like is that it’s pretty cheesy. They don’t just give you a cup of noodles with … sprinkle of cheese dust to make you happy. They actually put in some good amount of cheese … I like that because I’m a big fan of cheese. Obviously if you don’t like cheese, you’re not going to like this … So out of a scale of one to ten, I give this an eight … It’s pretty tasty. It’s very cheesy. The texture is a little firmer than I’m used to with noodles but it’s not that much of a difference.
So would you actually try any of these diet foods from Nutrisystem? Maybe you should because according to this particular Nutrisystem user:
If someone made this for me and I wasn’t on a diet … I don’t even mind eating it. I think I could actually enjoy it.
One thing is for sure, the folks at Nutrisystem are constantly working on the menu plan to make sure that customers will enjoy their meals while they are on the program. Their menu plan has so much variety for dieters to choose from, and yet … achieve weight loss.
Gone are the days of boring diet meals. These days, diet meals are made to be tasty to be enjoyed.

I am looking forward to trying the lasagna. Their mac and cheese is very convenient to take to the office. All it needs is hot water and I can have it for lunch. I have been eating it regularly so it’s time I try something new.
