| - Pros - food is good. Portions seem in line with a healthy diet plan - eggs or maybe protein oatmeal for breakfast, salad or wrap for lunch, entree with meat, reasonable grain serving and veggies for dinner. Fills me up and makes me feel better physically. I didn't take their snacks along with but maybe eat one yogurt or protein bar a day. You can set it to skip a meal on the weekends so you can eat out with friends one or two nights a week. You can pick and choose between ingredients. Food mostly seems fresh and is mostly good tasting. The answering service is good for helping change if you need to take days off for vacation. The cost is about what I was spending on too much eating out because I just am doing to much to cook for myself and then buying groceries I never have time to cook, food going to waste. So it is cost-effective.
Cons - Called answering service twice to leave message asking for better calorie information. No response. Sometimes some of the veggies lately have been a little low quality ... i.e., green beans stringy. When I take a food off my initial choices, they don't stop bringing it... i.e., I reacted to their salsa so I took it off my list, but they still throw it in with the eggs. My weight loss slowed which may be due to some other physical problems I have but it would be nice to know better calorie info and check on it with the food. Like if I don't eat the fruit, how many calories is breakfast? Etc. Helpful to understand how it works calorie wise better so I can track if I am undereating when I don't eat all the meals and take no snacks on my own and that can also stall weight loss, etc.
Overall - this service is good enough that I am not cancelling but not so good that a great competitor couldn't steal my business. But I'm not leaving because I'm hooked on getting the meals that are mostly pretty yummy, filling, and healthy -- I at least feel better even when my weight loss stalls, and I like I said there could be some reasons for that that are not the fault of the meals. It's just that I am going to check in with my doctor so being able to give an account of what is and isn't in the meals (food allergies possible), etc., more info from them would've been helpful to answer my doctor's questions.
