Are Linda Mccartney products healthy?

Yeah so, I'm vegetarian (mostly for health reasons) and I was just wondering if they were healthy for weight loss etc?

If not can anyone point me in the direction of alternatives?

Almost no foods at entitled health or unhealthy and no entire range is ever unhealthy or healthy. Healthy for weight loose isn't really a thing either since loosing weight is about calories in vs out rather than micronutrion.

Vegetarian or not pies and sausage rolls aren't going to be good for weight loose. The sausages are fairly low calories. None of it is anything special in terms of micronutrion. The best thing for low calories and good micronutrion is always to cook from scratch.

Though I've been vegetarian my whole life and I don't think there's anything more or less healthy about it. I think it being seen as healthy is part of the rabbit food stereotypes. My sister and I have both been vegan for years, I'm healthy, she's seriously overweight and deficient in almost everything. My parents have been vegetarian 25+ years and are both healthy but a little overweight.
