Prepared dishes and meals vary greatly in nutritional value depending on the ingredients used and the preparation method. Some dishes and meals may provide some vitamins and minerals but many are high in calories and sodium, so be careful when shopping.

Sodium Content

Food manufacturers often rely on sodium to make their prepared dishes and meals more palatable, thus ensuring that they sell more than the competition. What you may not realize is that a single serving of certain prepared dishes and meals could contain your entire daily recommended intake for sodium – or more. When shopping for dishes and meals, don’t just pay attention to the amount of carbs, fats, and protein – keep an eye on the sodium content as well.

Calorie Content

When enjoying prepared dishes and meals, you need to be mindful of the calorie content. Many prepared dishes and meals are higher in calories than you might realize – they may also be higher in fats as well. Dishes and meals that contain mostly pasta, rice, or bread are going to be higher in calories and carbohydrate than meals that are primarily comprised of vegetables. The rule to follow for dishes and meals is to shop smart – keep an eye on the calorie calculator to make sure the meal you select provides some nutritional value.
Unfortunately, many prepared dishes and meals do more harm than good for your body. Not only are they often high in sodium, but they can also lead to unhealthy eating habits. Refer to the calorie counter for your favorite dishes and meals to determine the calories and nutritional value.

Dangers of a High-Sodium Diet

If prepared dishes and meals make up a large portion of your diet, you may be exceeding your daily recommended sodium intake on a regular basis. Your body only requires about 500gm of sodium per day but the average frozen entrée contains anywhere between 700mg and 1,800mg of sodium. Too much sodium in your diet can lead to a number of health problems including high blood pressure, an increased risk for heart attack and stroke, and kidney disease.

Too Low in Calories

Many people who turn to prepared dishes and meals do so in an effort to reduce their daily calorie intake and, as a result, lose weight. When shopping for dishes and meals, then, many people look for the lowest calorie count they can find. Many dishes and meals are available under 300 calories but if your entire diet is comprised of these foods you may be eating fewer than 1,000 calories per day. Consuming too few calories could slow your metabolism and make it harder for you to lose weight.
