My expectations were already low based on the box’s physical size, but it still somehow managed to not even meet that

    1200 calories / 4 people is 300 calories per person. 300 calories times 3 meals per day is only 900 calories. According to the American Heart Association, that’s the recommended calorie intake for a 1 year old.

    So unless your “family of 4” consists of 4 babies and no older children or adults, this is not a family size meal.

      Add rice and beans. Done and done. Who expects to fill up on enchiladas alone? That’s like trying to get your 2000 calories from only eating steak.

          And you believe advertisements too? Make a real meal, stop being lazy FFS. The box is not your whole world, it’s supposed to be a part of the meal (which includes other ingredients).

            I do make real meals all the time. I love cooking. The whole point of my comments is to show how crappy and low value these meals are.
