I&#8217;ve had it for a few weeks but I didn&#8217;t realize when I bought it that it had 500 calories in it! The package was deceptive: at first glance it said 250 calories but there&#8217;s two servings in it! It wasn&#8217;t larger than the other Trader Joe&#8217;s frozen meal I bought, so I didn&#8217;t think it would be two servings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/lunch2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18301\" title=\"lunch2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/lunch2-e1306265997453-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/lunch2-e1306265997453-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/lunch2-e1306265997453.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSneaky!
