Smart Ones, Lean Cuisine, and Healthy Choice frozen meals
I actually eat probably two per week (I am single and hate to cook for just the small amount I can eat, so I only actually cook something once a week), but I never eat more than one or two bites of whatever rice, pasta, or potato comes with it... I just eat the protein and veggies. It is plenty of food to fill me up and, other than the sodium content, is pretty healthy without the pasta/rice/potatoes.

Yep, I keep a stash of them in my freezer. Since it's just me and two small kids, we don't always eat dinner at the same time, and it doesn't make sense to cook a meal just for myself.
It's tricky to find ones that aren't starchy and carb-loaded, but I like the salisbury steak (with mac and cheese), swedish meatballs (with pasta), and glazed chicken (with rice), and my VERY favorite--the turkey tenderloin with cranberries and sweet potatoes. Mmm!
I eat the protein first, then any veggies, and if I'm still hungry a while later, I'll finish the carby parts. The Healthy Choice steamers are really good for being lower carb, but those can get expensive. I admit, I coupon clip when it's time to stock up.
