Ready meals are popular because they are convenient.
They are useful for people who work long hours and don't have time to prepare a home made meal every day of the week. Ready meals allow them to quickly make their evening meal in minutes.
They are also useful for people who don't like cooking or aren't very good at it. Ready meals nowadays come in many different varieties covering different cuisines. This means a novice cook can still enjoy different types of food despite their lack of ability to make it themselves.
However, a diet entirely of ready meals is not good for you. Ready meals tend to be full of fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar. A diet high in these is bad for your health.
Healthy ready meals can be beneficial to those wishing to lose weight but you must also consider the sugar content of these meals. Sugar is often added to compensate for the loss in fat. However, a diet high in sugar can lead to weight gain as much as fat can.
If you are using ready meals to compensate for your lack of ability then try searching online for simple recipes with ingredients that you like. Cooking becomes much easier the more you practice it. If you are using ready meals for convenience then search for quick and healthy recipes that won't take you long to prepare and cook. For example, a stir fry with plenty of vegetables is very quick to make.
It is important that you have a balanced diet with plenty of water, fresh fruit and vegetables.
