  The “family size” lasagna is about 1400 Calories total. I think it’s reasonable to say that’s 2 adult servings, but Stouffer’s says it’s 5.

    Yeah if that’s 5 servings, assuming three similar meals per day, that’s 840 calories per day. That’s not healthy, even for non-Americans.

      You’re supposed to have a diverse diet. Mac and cheese, broccoli, a pork chop, some fruit. Its so weird that people keep narrowing their diet, globally. We’re monkeys that are supposed to be eating many different things.

        I’m not suggesting it would be normal to eat that same thing for each meal, just three similarly sized meals.
