My expectations were already low based on the box’s physical size, but it still somehow managed to not even meet that
“Family size” simply means “can serve an entire family”. It doesn’t mean “Can stuff 4 American bellies full”. It’s hard to judge the size of the box in your photo, but I can see serving one of those enchiladas per family member, along with pasta and salad or something.
Enchilada and pasta. GTFO
Then OP goes and suggests mac and cheese as a side for it, that’s many levels worse.
Like poutine and tamales.
I’d fuck with tamale poutine.
Brits don’t eat as much as Americans do because all their food is shit
Hope you manage to travel one day!
Fair point, but here frozen family meals in the past would have at least satisfied everyone at the table without any sides and if you wanted to go from satisfied to “stuffed full” then you could whip up a quick side of Mac and cheese or something
It’s 300 calories per serving (4 servings per box). If you’re on a 2000 calorie diet, a meal is 500 - 700 calories, so this would be a snack or a dish that requires a side. Or eat the whole box yourself and it’s about the same as a Big Mac combo.

American in his fifties here. No idea what you’re talking about. Family size has only ever meant “larger pack.” It has never meant “complete on its own with nothing accompanying it.”
Mac and cheese with “cantina style”? Throw some Texas toast in there why don’t ya, and hit dairy queen after
Point being who looks at a random meal and says “let’s fill the gaps with Mac and cheese, that’s nutritionally sounds reasoning”
Your 'Murican is showing, very clearly. Mac and cheese as a side to chicken enchiladas? How do you not realise the obesity mental illness level that is?
The real term here is : Family size but you’re divorced and it’s not the week the kids are with you
“Family Size” has no meaning anymore
Never did.
It means more calories than we can justify for a meal in a 2000 calorie day.
Family sized, if you’re a single parent with no kids 😂
