WeightWatchers Smart Ones: Chicken Oriental



Taste: Pleasant, not too sweet.

Quality: The meat chunks were too large for my mouth, and there were only 3 of them. Probably about 4 oz of meat, but I'm not sure, and it was a pain to eat them because I don't have a knife at my desk. The rice was a nice portion, but there wasn't quite enough sauce to dampen all the white (!) rice.

Meets expectations/marketing: there were nowhere near the number of meat or vegetable chunks on the box. I suspect I got the same amount of meat because of the size of the chunks, but the vegetables were sorely lacking.

Filling: I'm still hungry. Could be mental because it didn't take long to eat what little was there.

Value: $1.99 on sale at Wegman's.

Points: 4, but it a lousy four points. There is only one gram of fiber here! Pretty sad for a WW-branded entree. This would be a much better (more-filling) meal if they used brown rice and more veggies, rather than the tons of white rice and 4 skinny pieces of peppers instead.

Overall: I won't buy it again. Not enough food for the 4 points. I ended up eating an apple + 2 fiber bars before I left work because I was still so hungry.
