I don't know what it is about Hot and Lean Pockets, but people love them. Maybe it's how easy they are to prepare, but the truth is that ease is not always healthy (I'm thinking fast food, candy bars, etc). Sorry to burst your lunch (or snack if you're really hungry) bubble, but here are the breakdowns for your favorite frozen stuffed sandwiches.

Hot Pocket (1) Calories Fat (g) Sodium (mg) Sugar Carbs (g)
Four Cheese Pizza, No Meat 390 20 800 11 44
Beef & Cheddar 360 17 820 8 42
Cheeseburger 340 14 700 14 43
Turkey, Ham & Cheese 300 13 740 8 37
Chicken with Cheddar & Broccoli 300 11 590 9 41
Steak Fajita 280 11 780 11 34

    I didn't even know they made a vegetarian Hot/Lean Pocket. Unfortunately, it's the worst, calorie-wise, of all the varities.

    I have eaten these once in a while, but am not a big fan, and am glad i am not. when i was a fan, i would buy ham and cheddar. The guys i used to work with, that lived alone, lived off of these things. they would be like 10 for $x.xx and that is all they would buy. i was amazed.

    I bought them once and what a mistake. Totally gross unless you live for bad cheese. If I am going to overdose on cheese it needs to be quality cheese!

    Jim Gaffigan says it best about these things:

    "I imagine the directions go something like this - 'Take out of package and place directly in toilet.' Flush pocket!"

    You'd be better off eating the actual food the Hot Pockets are trying to mimic.

    Nasty pocket!

    Its not all that healthy but when it comes down to someone going to McD 's and getting a Big mac, fries and a huge soda or eating a Lean pocket I say that the lean pocket looks mighty healthy in comparison.

    The sodium content is crazy high! I think it probably takes as much time to microwave one of these as it does to make a sandwhich!

    for the Turkey, Ham & Cheese on, i think you mixed up the sugar and the sodium. I doubt it has 740g of suger and on 7 mg of sodium.

    The lean pockets are just about the same nutritional info as one of the weight watchers smart ones versions of a pocket - and they are MUCH cheaper when there are no sales.
