“The meals have given me the opportunity to try new foods / flavors, and rotate protein types. Best of all, it has reminded me of proper portion control and I have lost weight as a result.”
“The good was good but I wish there was even more variety. I got tired of the same things over and over. I am unable to order now for a while as I had hip replacement surgery and cannot lift the heavy boxes into my house after delivery!”
“I like the meals, the ordering process is easy, the protein is excellent and tasty, but I do wish there were more vegetables in the meals. I've tried other services without the delivery fee, but the quality wasn't as good. It's easy for my daughter to take them to work for her lunches, just put them in the microwave. I order for both of us. I am elderly and I appreciate that I do not have to prepare meals at home, as well.”
“The meals are great, im happy with the variety, the speed with which the meals arrive, the taste and the customer service. However, the packaging is horrific and it takes me forever to rip into this plastic container and peel off the film that feels like it's been sealed with cement. I also hate that the package comes with three huge blocks of ice, they're incredibly difficult to dispose of and are also wasteful. That part could use improvement.”
“Metabolic Meals have been a lifesaver over the past six months as I navigate my nutrition plans, designed by an online fitness and nutrition coach. Metabolic Meals are typically higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates and fats compared to other pre-made meal services. I appreciate the convenience of scanning a barcode in MyFitnessPal to track macronutrients and calories for each meal and the simplicity of heating them for just two minutes in the microwave.
While Metabolic Meals are on the expensive side, their pricing is comparable to other services. However, one downside is the minimum order requirement of 15 meals to qualify for free shipping, which otherwise costs $19.95. Additionally, I do wish the chefs would expand their menu, as I often see the same meals repeated every few weeks. More variety and choices would be great.
One feature I particularly value is the subscription-free membership, which ensures I only receive meals when I order them. Overall, I believe Metabolic Meals are a worthwhile investment for those starting their nutrition journey or those who lack the time or finances to cook homemade meals regularly.”
“I love My Metabolic Meals. Its a great quick option for lunch and a fun way to do a separate meal for everyone in the family. Easy to pick and order while being so tasty!”
“Love Metabolic Meals! Some people complain about the price of these meals but I have peace of mind knowing I'm ordering grass fed meals without seed oils that are caloric friendly and taste like a home cooked meal, so I say it's worth it!! I'm serious, no chemical, fake or weird textured foods which I've experienced with other meal companies.
These meals became my staple lunches and go to's when I'm too tired to cook. They store easily in the freezer and reheat great as well which is a bonus! I have come to enjoy about 90% of the recipes which is pretty good for a meal company (also
Why I only put 4 star, get that to 100% and you'd have a 5 star review).
The packaging is somewhat difficult to open so I just cut the package open transfer food to a plate and heat up. I don't heat plastic so packaging doesn't matter to me but might to others.
Some people also complain about the shipping cost but I have found on weeks where I love most of the meals I just order enough to get free shipping and freeze the extras, sometimes I'll pay the shipping just because it saves me the work I'd have to do at home to prepare an entire weeks food, and sometimes I skip the week if I'm not feeling the choices. So far it's the only company I've been willing to pay shipping for, enjoy most of the meals, and has good ingredients! Never any ingredients I can't pronounce! As long as they stay true to that I will be a loyal customer. One of the best companies I've tried! Highly recommend!”
“I love the convenience of Metabolic Meals, and I appreciate knowing that I'm receiving quality ingredients that are important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”
“Generally speaking quite satisfied and regular customer for 3+ years (probably longer!). Would benefit with more variety, new menu items. Plant based options would be nice. You have lots of competition now and I’ll likely be testing out some other companies for the above mentioned reasons”
“Food is great and doesn't have unnecessary carbs or sauces. Customer service is exceptional. One star removed because I pay the same shipping costs as anyone and the company is about 3 miles from my house; wish I could just pick it up and save the shipping, packaging, ice packs, etc. Otherwise, I've been with them a long time and recommend them to friends and family.”
“The food is consistently good, and whenever I have requested a refund I have received one promptly. I would like to see a few more options with lower carb and sugar.”
“I use Metabolic Meals for my dinner at work. I buy 15 at a time to avoid shipping fees, so I freeze them until I need them, and order every 2 weeks. I use these instead of Stouffer's and Lean Cuisine because they are fresher, have less sodium, and generally more protein than the store bought brands. I like these choices better than Factor, which I tried for a while too. Generally Metabolic Meals are a bit pricey. My mother-in-law has started using the meals I order. She is avoiding gluten. And these choices are more nutrious than what she would make for herself.”
“The meals are pretty great - super macro friendly with great protein & healthy ingredients, including grass fed / pasture raised meat. It's hard to find this combo in any other meal service. My only complaint is that there is not a lot of variety, so I'm started to get tired of the same meals and the delivery company still doesn't follow instructions for putting the delivery inside the gate so I have to be home every time.”
“I like having fresh "real food" delivered to me by Metabolic. The few problems I have had with quality, menu's or deliveries have been rectified in short order. Overall, Metabolic is my choice for meals.”
“The best food from any of the 6 prepared food services I've tried. The only reason I haven't ordered more is the price of shipping. Your meals are a little more expensive than the others also. But it mostly just the shipping is way to high. If you offered a awards plan or some discounts it would get me to order on a regular basics. But again your food is the best.”
“I've been orderinging meals with Metabloic Meals for over a year now. Clearly, I enjoy them. In addition to gluten intolerance and being somewhat of a picky eater, I also have a few severe food allergies. With Metabolic Meals, I can order and enjoy my meals with confidence as they're gluten free and they list every single ingredient on their label, which I can clearly see before ordering. If there's an ingredient I can't have, or dont like, I move on to other selections. Most weeks there's plenty of options for me. Every once in a while I am slightly limited by the combination of meals provided that week, but then I just order extras of the ones I do like. Ordering is very easy and the meals show up at my door, on time, every week. When I first ordered, I had meals in a couple shipments where the cellophane had been damaged (likely from the big ice packs), but haven't had any issues like that since then. I can also say the customer service at this company is amazing! 10 stars amazing! If you have any questions about how the plan works, or the ordering process, give them a call. I did not call first and messed up a couple things at the beginning (totally my fault) but customer service got right back to me (they actually call you back and you speak to a real human!) and went above and beyond to help me get everything straightened out so i wouldn't need to miss meals or receive meals i didn't want. I definitely recommend this company.”
