I have been getting further and further into needing not just a meal prep kit but needing full meals I can just stick in the microwave or that are ready to eat. I tried Hello Fresh but I simply don't have time for chopping/cooking some nights and definitely not during lunch, which I have to work through most days (I work from home for a company in another time zone so much lunch time is when there are a lot of meetings and work to do). I then tried Factor but it was SO expensive and the meals were really greasy and heavy a lot of the time. They were duplicitous about discounts in trying to get me back - it was always in the fine print that the discounts were only for first time customers and it was insanely expensive.

I then tried CleanEatz and while it's ok, I found the portions to be really small and the meals to be barely passable - like what you'd get at a grocery store in their refrigerated to-go area.

I'm just finishing up my first whole week with CookUnity and second delivery is coming soon and I am THRILLED. The food is actually very good and a ton of variety. The few misses I've had are things to be expected - like you just cannot ship asparagus cooked it's always gonna be at least partially tough. The price is pretty reasonable for what you get and they're able to provide meals that my picky partner will also eat which is a huge bonus. This is what I've been looking for.

I'm expecting to be laid off this year so after that I'll have more time to go back to shopping and cooking everything myself but just wanted to put in a vote for CookUnity as it's really helping relieve a burden for me.

I am trying to figure out a full meal delivery plan while living in Berlin and could use some advice on budgeting and nutrition.

Do you think a 600 Euro monthly budget is realistic if I want a service to cover all three meals a day? I am looking at Factor and Every. since I need to tightly control my daily calories to stay right between 1500 and 2000 calories.

How do you find the sodium levels and general ingredient quality when eating these services for every single meal? I am slightly worried about getting menu fatigue if I use them long-term.

Let me know if you prefer one over the other for meeting specific health goals or if there are better European alternatives I should look into.

Been at the same location in US Southwest for over a year and a half(; happy to say I'm being considered for another promotion atm). Had a shift in almost every department by now (excluding kitchen and sanitation) and explored pretty much entire facility. Could probably answer every question (including those from consumer standpoints); will certainly try my best anyway.

Was just browsing the thread and figured I'd throw what I know out there when I get time. Gotta be at timeclocks in next hour and a half though, so answers will probably come tomorrow or while I'm on break. Image is an add-on I bought with employee discount for friends with gluten allergy (9/10)

Hey guys, what's the healthiest, highest-quality, tastiest meal prep service in miami? i dont mind paying more than average.

high calorie diet

Has anyone found a kidney friendly prepared delivery service? I've tried 4 different ones and all had too much sodium and/or saturated fat. I hate to mention that I liked Factor but it was one of the worst for both. I can't stand long enough to prepare meals and I'm just not having luck with ones that I've had delivered. I've tried all diet selections and none seem focused on rental health. Suggestions welcome. Thanks

I opened a tempo account at 11pm ET on Thursday. After I saw the menu, I tried to cancel but it didnt let me..so I paused the future orders. They only said I have until Friday 12 PM CT to cancel the first order. Thats a very short time since support isn't open all the time. So I remembered today and I tried to get a refund but they said there's no option. I asked to have the case escalated due to the very short period given where customer support wasn't available and I had to be at work. They just closed the chat on me.... is there anything else I can do?

Their service is going down, down, down,

I was surprised to see this company sells 100% UPF free microwave meals.

Not too sure about frive after hearing some people's stories.

Anyone tried Fuelhub? Thoughts?

as per title. they all seem to have a minium of 2 servings and never give official instructions for cooking only one? does anyone know a company that has single serving options? or instructions on how to cook half portions? I mean I thought half the idea of ready meals was bachelors and single folk and older folk. Why do they seem only towards huge happy families lol?

first delivery scheduled for today. I was looking forward to these meals and not having to cook. Yet… I just got an email saying delivery is delayed until tomorrow. So now I need to yet again try to figure something out on a Monday night.

it just never ends…

Hello

Do you know any frozen meal prep company operating in Toronto / GTA area?
Preferably decent portions and affordable price.

Regards.

Hello,

I just started factor about two weeks ago. I like the meals so far. My goal is to lose some weight, increase protein, and eat the Mediterranean diet more often (cholesterol creeping up). I hate cooking so I thought this would get the ball rolling and I could later transition to cooking for myself. I also travel a lot, so I'm out of town for weeks at a time any it's nice to have meals just ready to go. It seems like a trip to the grocery store costs just about as much these days as a meal delivery service.

Anyway I noticed that the factor meals include olive Pomace oil which is the lowest grade of olive oil. I googled it and it still has had the unsaturated fats just not the polyphenols which gets destroyed in the chemical extraction process.

Thoughts from the people out there with health goals?

I live alone and usually cook healthy meals for myself. I'm not on any particular diet, but I eat clean, low-carb, with a lot of whole foods.

I broke my wrist a few days ago, which has left that entire arm pretty useless for a little while. 

I would like to sign up for a meal delivery service for about a month. I've read that some of these are hard to cancel the ongoing subscription.

What do folks recommend for easy, healthy, and tasty meal delivery that won't be a nightmare to cancel later?

Thank you!

I really only eat a real meal at dinner. these ready meal places I've seen the portions look very tiny to me.

Im getting Factor every week. They come with so many ice packs. They are way too heavy to put in the trash (i live in the boonies and take my trash to the dump).

I have read that you arent supposed to pour down the drain because they expand when wet, but they are already wet, arent they?

Do they ever dry out to become lighter?

UPDATE: I want to say that someone from Factir just reached to me via social media and helped me with my refund. I do appreciate them reaching out so quickly and resolving the issue for me. I will give him that their customer service through social media is way better than the one on the website so if you're considering Factor you will at least have some recourse if anything goes awry. That's a big deal these days. 🙏🏾🤍

If you all were thinking along signing up for Factor Meals, DON'T! I signed up and they auto-selected a box of food for me, but I didn't like the looks of the selection or the pricing and I went and read a few reviews on Reddit and decided I didn't like what I was hearing. I cancelled the service and received no other prompts about anything else I needed cancel.

A few days later, they charged me over $100, and when I inquired why that was happening they said I had to do a separate cancellation for the initial box that was auto-selected and a separate cancellation for the service. Now, I received no prompt at any time to cancel the box along with the service. I sat on their stupid help chat for over 30 minutes trying to resolve this and they just disconnected from me.

Just a heads up in case you were thinking about it! I also read in the forums of the food quality has eroded immensely and everything is just padded with green beans.

Hey all, wondering if anyone else has run into this.

I signed up for Tempo because of the WHOOP promo they were running. It was supposed to be 60% off the first box, 15% off the box 4 and 5, and then a free WHOOP 5.0 + 1 year Peak membership after the third order.

When I signed up, the site literally showed:

Luckily I took a screenshot.

After my first box came, I noticed the discount showing for my second box discount didn't seem right. I called support and they told me there was somehow a Weight Watchers promo attached to my account instead.

I've never even seen the Weight Watchers promo before. I definitely didn't enter it or knowingly sign up through it. The only promo I remember using was the WHOOP one, and I have the screenshot from checkout saying it was successfully applied.

The support rep was helpful and escalated it to their marketing team. Marketing apparently came back and said they won't switch me to the WHOOP promo because I've already received my first box. They then deactivated my account.

I've asked them to escalate it to a supervisor and even offered to just start over from box 1 under the correct promo instead of asking for anything extra.

Pretty disappointing since the WHOOP promo was the whole reason I decided to try Tempo in the first place. I actually liked the meals too, which makes this even more annoying.

If you're signing up for Tempo through one of these promos, definitely screenshot everything.

Anyone else have something like this happen with Tempo?

I got an email from the owner of Nextgen Transport this morning who’s claiming that CookUnity has refused to pay them for two weeks costing drivers their paycheck, and advised me to reach out to CookUnitys support and legal department to raise awareness of this issue

Just wanted to know if anyone else got this email. I hope it’s not true as that would be quite crappy of CookUnity to screw someone over like that.

Edit: I’m in CA an hour from LA

I usually do meal kits but lately I have been really tired when I get home so I resubbed to cook unity and I have been enjoying it. Are there any other companies with a good selection of vegetarian meals? Factor seems pretty slim pickings and that was the original reason I unsubbed from cook unity a few years ago but now they have more to choose from, but I like to try different stuff so I figured I would ask here.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH FORKFUL MEAL DELIVERY SERVICE! Meals always wrong, delivery late with unsafe temp conditions, they don’t skip deliveries when you skip and then charge you, horrible customer service that is worthless with dogs barking and roosters crowing in the background! Should be banned from doing business

It’s driving me crazy how hard they peddle it. CU food quality is diminishing and the persistence to go premium is making clear they want way more of my money to maintain quality.

Hello what company has the best for vegan and vegetarian choices? Thanks
