HMR Vegetable Stew with Beef Entrée | Pre-packaged Lunch or Dinner to Support Weight Loss | Ready to Eat | 13g of Protein | Low Calorie Food | 8oz Serving per Meal | Pack of 6

I purchased these for my husband but had one myself. YUM! These are meant to be eaten with a small salad and side cooked vegetable. We traveled in a new RV this summer and I stocked these in the cabinets since they can be left at room temperature. They are handy to have.

was good meant all of my expectations, was great

This is a very decent tasting and good quality beef stew, Chunky potatoes, small beef chunks, little carrot bits, onions, peas, and plenty of sauce. The overall flavor is very good. Amazingly, only 160 calories (25 from fat) the lowest of any of these meals that I've tried. It has 570 mg sodium, which is a bit higher than some of these meals, but not too bad (24% of DRI). The beef had decent texture and taste. Could be more of it, but enough, I guess. Very decent quality and good taste compared to other similar meals I've tried.Update: Raised my rating from 4 to 5 stars as I have really enjoyed these meals and they definitely help with weight control. (I am not following any official diet plan, just trying to follow healthy eating habits as much as I can in my daily routine.)Update: I dropped my rating back to 4 stars. Got a new shipment in the new packaging. I liked the old packaging better, but no big deal. Anyway, what is a big deal is that this shipment does not taste as good as my previous (old package) shipment. They claim it's the same, but it definitely was different. Maybe it is just this batch. I will update again, later, if that is so, but for now, this drops it down a notch.Update: The taste is definitely not as good and after several pkgs that has not changed. Checked ingredients and they did, indeed, change from the older variety. Too bad.

First, I am a honest user of HMR meals, and have been so for quite some time. I have also tried Nutrisystem. HMR is by far much better than Nutrisystem in my opinion. The HMR meals I have tried (Lentils, Pasta Fagoli, Whole Grain Medley, Ravioli, Beef Stroganoff and this Stew have all been delicious! And when I say delicious, I mean for what they are - a diet plan meal. I found Nutrisystem meals that are equivalent to HMR all tasted the same. HMR meals all have their own distinct flavors, like any meal should have. I cannot understand any negative review for these diet plan meals at all. The ones I have tried have all been delicious! I am not a relative or friend of anyone at HMR, nor did I receive any payment or freebies for my review. I give honest reviews good or bad, and this one is a fantastic review! The stew has tender chunks of beef that are very lean, no fat, veggies tender and the sauce is beefy! Just like a good old fashioned beef stew should be.

Expensive but is easy to heat up and great when you are in a hurry to eat something !!

great , driver was very helpful

I love these dinners. They are delicious!

I love the HMR entrees, bars, and hot cereal. I've never tried the soup and I can't drink the shakes because I'm allergic to eggs (which are a main ingredient in both the regular and lactose free), so I can't comment on those. I just wish that every item was available on subscribe and save instead of a random select few. Because of my allergy I can't join the auto delivery program on the HMR site because I would waste $100 worth of shakes every month, but paying full price there or on Amazon is a bit steep for my budget. This is definitely a diet I can stick to, I've lost 44 pounds and have never been hungry or felt deprived. I've learned to love fruits and vegetables. I highly recommend these products, but just be aware that those who have allergies or are diabetic can't really follow this diet. The bars and shakes use real sugar and no artificial sweeteners (as far as I can tell by reading the labels online). If that's not an issue for you, then this is the best diet plan for the money because you will learn to eat a balanced diet and won't gain back the weight in a flash once you go back to eating "normal" food if you stick with eating three servings of protein and five servings of fruits and veggies a day...and don't overload on empty calories and junk food and carbs, of course.
