Dietitian Tries Factor Meals for a Week | Reviewing “Dietitian Approved” Meals

I tried Factor, a meal delivery service that claims to be chef-prepared and dietitian-approved, for a week and here were my thoughts!

lol compared to getting groceries, people overlook the fact that groceries dont have sales tax for food items in most of the USA. they could easily use a lot more olive oil instead of soybean/canola oil. imo you can also use like half the salt and have the same salty taste with a tiny bit of msg or maybe some kcl but most dont like the taste of kcl. i think the best move is to buy 18 meals and freeze all but 4/person per week. use BOA custom cash card and you get 3% back on "online shopping" which ironically tends to work with most online rent portals. cancel after the first order and they will send you another 50-60% off discount email after about a month

Hey, thanks for doing this review and I especially appreciated that you did cover the NUTRITIONAL component as that's what I came here for. I came to YT and did a search because I had been having a few of my girlfriend's Factors and happened to see that the fat content is diproportionally high which I foumd very odd... There is literally a meal I have here that has 50g of fat and 28 of it is sat fat or something close to that. My only guess is that they do this to make it taste better since taste is hard to achieve in a non-fresh meal!?!? Also, sodium is high on a few of them as well, but good to know that is not the case for all of them. It seems to me that there may be some strategy to slam as much fat in as possible just to get the calorie/energy level of the meals up while also not adding too many carbs and aiding in taste.

How did you feel the serving sizes were? I have done Factor for a few weeks now and really love the flavor of all of the food. Some of the items I get would fill half of the larger container section. It seems like it is not a full serving at times.

[@ireanybeany]

Some were definitely less filling than others. Whether the portion sizes were "appropriate" depend on the individual as recommended portion sizes depend on lots of things like age and gender

"I don't know which dietitan approved these meals, but they should go back to school." HAHAHA

oops that may have been too savage 🤭

Haricot verts is French for green beans 😊

[@Tellmewhatchawant]

So what meal prep service would you put your stamp of approval on?

[@ireanybeany]

I haven't exactly found one that I love yet and understandably so, since it can be hard to balance nutrition value with other factors including taste, shelf life, cost and logistics in general (with shipping and such). There are also many meal delivery services I haven't tried/looked into/know about. This doesn't mean that nutritious food can't be tasty, just the fact of the matter is there are a lot of things these companies consider when designing meals (including profit).

Can u do video trying springly meal delivery service

[@jfresh2054]

Thanks for the honest review.

[@ireanybeany]

You're welcome!

[@daisycalderon8975]

Thank you for this review! Is there a meal plan with ready made food that you can suggest? Clean with low sodium and microwave ready a must.

[@ireanybeany]

There is not at the moment. It's definitely harder to make healthier meal delivery services that also cater to the general population's taste preferences (usually higher sodium and fat because these things taste so good!)

[@daisycalderon8975]

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I figured but it's worth a try asking. Lol, I guess I have to cook it myself. @@ireanybeany

[@nelsonnclavijo9108]

I am so glad to watch this review!!

[@brandonstews238]

I watched like 5 of these factor videos all of them get the food off of the camera as fast as possible. Truly Sus

[@hannaa7872]

@brandonstews238 really? The videos I've seen shows the food on camera 😅

[@lastjedi9156]

She said (like) but she doesn’t like it..word of the day is … LIKE

[@jillk8291]

Please google definitions before filming a video. You did this over many days, you had time to not sound ignorant. Haricot vert = Green beans., It's french.

[@ArielleAK]

There is a way to say that without being rude.
