MP has been a huge time saver and helped me to focus on eating what is right for me and in the proper portions. The food is ALWAYS fresh, and it's real food: Steak, chicken, fish.....real food, and not processed. It does stay fresh for me in the refrigerator for the whole week. I would highly recommend MP for anyone who either doesn't have the time and/or energy to devote to thinking about what to eat.
