Nutrisystem's foods are high in proteins and low in carbs. That's good. However, they're also very high in sodium and preservatives. Not good, but no big surprise. As for taste, some items are much better than others.

My wife and I have gone out a few times this past week, so we've skipped some of the Nutrisystem meals. However, I think that is worked into the plan (I've heard you are allowed to take weekends 'off'). Still, we have tried to limit our portions and skip desserts while eating out. It's difficult, but we felt good afterwards, knowing that we didn't succumb to the temptations.
And the results? drumroll.........
My wife and I each lost 3 lbs. in this first week. I only wish I hadn't ordered so many scrambled eggs.
