Heating in the microwave is no worse than reheating using any other method. But some nutrients are always lost when reheating food, especially vitamin C. You could always eat some raw vegetables high in vitamin C alongside your dinner though. Or eat some fresh berries as dessert.

interesting! i guess you're right that getting even half the nutritional value of healthy food is still better than take out.
do you think there could be a difference heating food in the microwave vs stove top?
i looked online, but most info is about optimal temperatures and stuff. but i really wanna know whether repeated heating and cooling of food damages the nutritional properties??
I do the same as you, except that when hubby gets home I turn the stove back on to reheat it instead of microwave. I believe that even if it loses a little bit of the nutritional value, it's still healthier and cheaper than ordering or eating out. I usually make s fresh salad too goo with it :)
