7. It looks pretty good.

The only problem with packaged foods is that they tend to have a lot of sodium, and this one also adds sugar, which you don't need. Since I placed myself on voluntary house arrest last March I've had pretty good success losing weight on an Atkins/keto-type diet, cutting out carbs as much as possible (no bread, pastries, potatoes, pasta, etc.), and I order groceries online for delivery so I'm not tempted by seeing or smelling things I shouldn't eat. I make my own meals mostly from scratch and only rarely get ready-made meals, and I've been getting pretty much the same food in every order. The weird side-effect of this monotony is that my meals are kind of boring so I don't eat as much as I would otherwise. But it's working; I've lost 48 lbs. in less than a year and am no longer officially overweight per standard weight and BMI charts. Try to make your meals more boring.
