From the TESR Test Kitchen

Michaelina's offers frozen foods for about a buck and the slogan "LET MAMA FEED YOU!" Praising the line in 2008, The Orlando Sentinel's Moms At Work declared, "I'm here now to tell you: Don't be scared!" We're here to tell you, they don't hire 'em to smart at The Sentinel.

See Moms At Work was tackling Michaelina's Lean Gourmet line, the line that boasts, "When you're looking to cut the calories, without cutting the taste, Mama has you covered."

No, Strange Woman, you don't.

And shoppers would do well to check before purchasing.

For example, Beef & Peppers. There's the regular gourmet line and there's the lean gourmet version. If you eat one, you will be consuming ten fewer calories.

But which one?

If you guessed the Lean Beef & Peppers, you guessed wrong. Though that is the 'diet' version of the product, at 280 calories, that's ten more calories than you'll be getting if you consume the non-diet version.
