I am 79 and have been using Factor for 3 months using the six meals choice. I can honestly say I have not had one bad meal. They work with you if you need to skip a week. So tasty and easy to order, prepare, and REALLY ENJOY!!!

[@Awsomeman123321]

Finally a real review. Thank you.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Thanks for your comment Frank! Glad you're enjoying the meals

[@Stuke51]

Just got my first box. I am a recreational bodybuilder that hates spending too much time on cooking. This will not be as practical on the wallet as making your own meals, but to me I see it as a net positive considering I will be ordering takeout considerably less frequently, and saving time overall. Going to try it out for at least a few weeks but based on the few meals I’ve had already they’re pretty good.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Same - I can't be bothered cooking my meals all the time. I like the option of having some of these handy in my fridge. Most of the meals I've tried so far were solid.

[@AfterDarkWithHadassah]

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting as well as the OMAD diet, which is one meal a day and it was hard doing this diet and training my body and I had to increase with a multivitamin calcium as well as a egg collagen/vegan protein powder drink for breakfast, but I have my one Factor 75 meal no later than 4 o’clock and I don’t eat anything else for the rest of the day doing this and going to the gym. I have brought my A1c levels down, and I have brought my diabetes in remission, what I mean by that is I am no longer a type two diabetic I am prediabetic I have been took off of my medication. I have lost weight a lot which gave me enough energy to start going to the gym. I am now going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. I am losing weight getting healthy and the meals are delicious. I don’t purchase a meal from factor on a weekly basis lol I skipped meals but that’s because I order the max amount which is 28 meals and then maybe the other three or four days of the month I cook and with those 28 factor meals I eat one of those meals a day with a protein smoothie in the morning for breakfast I love it and I’ve never had any type of surgery as far as Gastric bypass surgery but when I decided that I was going to go on this health journey and eat less than 800 cal I said damn people who get their stomach cut in half after having gastric bypass surgery they have to take multivitamins because they don’t get enough nutrition although me eating my one meal and my healthy smoothie is enough nutrition. I was scared since I wasn’t eating that many calories since I decided to start doing the one meal a day, so I started taking vitamins to counteract if I was doing something wrong even though I was not, I have took a step back on the vitamins. My body is getting used to this routine and my body is burning calories due to the inner minute fasting of just having the one meal a day and having it at a set time, I am so proud of my success. The factor 75 meals are good lol the only issue is I have to eat them in private because when I do finally eat one I look crazy as if I hadn’t ate in many days I don’t know is it that good or is it because I only have one bill a day but ever since my first taste, I’ve never gone back don’t get me wrong I do have a snack but you can’t really count a fruit salad mixed up with leafy greens and nuts and meal. I literally just have one meal a day and that’s the Factor 75 outside of my healthy smoothie for breakfast and my snack at six but factor is that shit

[@CatChiou]

I work at the airport and my meal costs buying food there was $20 a meal. I am saving money using Factor and I love the food! Simplified my life. I'm okay paying 12$

[@antman674]

Just got my first box. I was pretty impressed with the ingredients list. No added sugar and low on the preservatives/additives. 95% of the ingredients are just normal stuff you would expect to see if it were a home cooked meal. I was a little disappointed in the high fat and calorie content though. You have to be careful what you order because some of the meals that sound healthy can be deceptively high in calories and/or saturated fats. The blackened salmon with cauliflower "grits" and brocolli for instance, had a lot of cheese and cream added to make the grits. Overall 600cal, 44g fat (18 sat.), and 39g protein. Not thrilled with those macros personally. It did taste pretty good though. Not mind blowing or anything but better than most frozen meals from the grocery store anyway. Looking forward to seeing how the chicken and beef meals turn out. My first box was discounted to around $6-7 per meal (with shipping and everything) and at that price its a pretty good deal. But at $11-12 for the regular pricing, you're really paying a premium for the convenience more than anything else. But I'll post a response if the other meals blow me away and change my mind on that lol.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Lol awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience brotha

[@cheryzheng]

Out of all the meal delivery services, Factor is probably the best, although it can be a bit on the fatty side. And you gotta watch the carbs, even when you choose the Keto-friendly option. It is expensive, but they have deals from time to time. I usually get it for a week or 2 when it's less than 10 bucks per meal.

[@kudzu01]

I like the Factor meals. Overall, I rate them as Good, better than Fair but not Great. Some meals are Very Good, some are just Meh. If you put the food onto a plate, it looks like regular-sized portions. For some reason, it looks like less food if eaten out of the plastic tray. Plate it first.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Spot on! Thanks for your comment Glenn

[@doublehd159]

Meals look pretty appealing but really wish the average calorie range was 800-1000 each. For a full-grown male 400-650 calories a meal feels quite soft.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Really just depends on what your goals are. 400-650 calories per meal is pretty average.

@@sprintkitchen9570 damn really? shit

[@blueknightcraze6766]

@@MattGarcyaDC my age (23) and weight (165) i burn around 1800 by default if i dont do anything that day. Gym day im gonna guess somewhere between 2000-2200 calories burned that day. 3x 650 meals is almost there, if you wanna lose weight that would be it, just drink water. If you wanna gain weight you might want some protein shakes to go over that 2200. But overrall, yeah, you definitely dont want 1000 calories a meal unless youre only doing like 2 meals a day.

[@matthewlanigan1682]

I've ordered 4 boxes from Factor so far and honestly I think they suck at what they do. First and second boxes were ok. Some of the meals were way to small. The 3rd box was MISSING 4 MEALS and the 5th box I yet have to receive as its going on 2 days late. I most likely will be searching for a better company that can handle what they're supposed to do. So from going to getting 4 meals short to the next box being 2 days late I had to improvise for 4 days because I had no food because of their incompetence. They definitely need to be better especially at what they charge

[@alicegarcia9873]

you should have chat with their agent coz it did happen to me , they missed 4 meals, After the chat agent wasted my time..he gave me 2 options, $64 money back on a non discounted meals, or $64 refund back on my original payment..

[@acwinicker112]

How long are the meals good for in the shipping box? If it arrives in the morning and I don’t get to it until 5pm will the food go bad?

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Hey Austin, I think you’ll be ok. There are plenty of cold packs and insulation to keep it fresh!

[@emil923]

You will be ok. The ice pack last a long time

[@elitestar]

For the amount you pay per meal, I would've preferred if they had more calories. 600-700 calories just isn't gonna cut it. Each meal felt like a snack to me. They should be more like 800-1100 calories.

[@mariansims-stanley8356]

I ordered these for my Mom who is 94 and she loves them. We have tried other meal services but these are really tasty!

[@mostlyscifi]

Thanks for the info. This was really helpful

[@tarstarkusz]

1) I assure you there is no legal or professional licensing requirements to call someone a "gourmet chef" and so their chefs are what everyone else uses, minimum wage line cooks. The same thing is true of all of the other words they use to describe their food. No 3rd party independently judged words (conforms with some standard) are ever used in any of their ads. It's hospital or military or prison food way overpriced. Maybe a slight improvement to those institutional foods. To feed 1 couple 1small meal per day for 7 days is 182 Dollars plus shipping.

[@TheseOldCards]

$12 a meal is pretty high you’re only paying for convenience so if you ate just a meal per day that’s around $400 a month. Too high for me.

[@reapersouls9269]

I'm paying 120$ for me and my wife cheaper than going grocery shopping, gas, time, 120 for 10 meals is worth it

Factor food is great, but you'll be lucky if the idiots who deliver it are able to find your house. They usually just pick a house and decide to gift someone else the food you chose and paid for.

[@bdailey8065]

These look delicious and seems like a good choice for lunch meals. Wouldn't be enough food for dinner for me, I'd still be hungry lol!

Hi B! Thanks for your comment :) Yeah I think they’re great portion sizes will vary based on the person. You might need a higher caloric intake then lets say someone who's 140lbs.

[@tarstarkusz]

WHY do they not offer a 7 day plan? There are 7 days in a week damn it. There is a 4 a 6 and an 8! There is no 14 either if you're a couple. This is on purpose to increase meal sales.

well if u figure at the price shit is going, lets say you order some thing from a delivery app. most prices are stupidly expensive, most combos cost about as much as $10-14 and that just a burger fries and drink half the time, unless u get lucky with some deals, so I guess if you are trying to eat healthy and dont have the time better spend expensive eatting healthy than to spend an arm and a leg at the cost of an arm and a leg

If this service cost 50% more because it used glass or stainless steel packaging that carried a deposit and was returnable for reuse, I would use it. I love the idea of this. However, no way am I re-heating the food in that plastic, and I'm not comfortable with it being transported in plastic. I see it is "BPA free". The problem with plastics is there are dozens of other leach chemicals in them other than BPAs that impact the endocrine system of mammals. There literally is no food-safe plastic. It continues to leach poisonous chemicals as it ''naturally'' degrades over time.

[@sprintkitchen9570]

Yeah I totally understand and that’s ok as a personal preference. Unfortunately, there are plastics in almost every sort of packaging that we use. For example, bottled water, plastic silverware at a food court, gatorade, fruit packaging, chicken packaging etc. Your blenders have BPA free plastic containers. Are you going to avoid drinking smoothies the rest of your life? It’s almost impossible to avoid plastic. I would love if the meals came in cardboard trays or some kind of bamboo material but for me it’s not a deal breaker.
