Atkins Frozen Meals

Atkins sells low carb frozen meals and meal shakes. Big grocers stock both.

Updated . Edited by: Ilyass Ben Hakim.

Where to buy

Atkins names Walmart, Target, Kroger and Publix as retailers. Frozen meals sit in the freezer aisle, not the online Atkins shop.

Professional insight

Dietitians read net carbs, protein and sodium together. A low carb meal can still be salty.

  • Net carbs subtract fiber and sugar alcohols.
  • Protein per box varies widely between recipes.
  • Store ranges rotate, so check local freezer stock.
  • Meal shakes are shelf stable, frozen meals are not.
