Factor Meals, anyone done them? Looking at the first shipment, and wow

We don’t have anything local, yet. Don’t even have a Whole Foods either. I did contact Amazon about that. (Just save yourself the time, don’t)

There are a lot of meal delivery companies doing what Factor does, but so many of them are kinda similar to this service. We may have to just deal better with it.

Get a slow cooker, and a rice cooker. Fill both in the morning. Go do your work stuff. Go ride, food is ready when you’re back. If your wife comes back before you, you’ll have made her dinner, without even being there.

Honestly I could never imagine living of ready-made food. Cooking is so much nicer and healthier. If cooking every day is too much work how about having a home-cooked meal one or two days a week for a start?

I’d get an Instant Pot. Doubles as a slow cooker. So many simple, healthy meals can be made in it and made in bulk.

If you really want to do pre-made meals, you could try Trifecta. I haven’t used them but the options under the clean category look a lot better from a health perspective than what you posted. But they are also low calorie so could get expensive quickly.

Factor does a ‘vegan’ menu. The wife says ‘HELL NO!’, but it might be an easy way to get both of us farther on the road to better eating.

Ironically, our first ‘date’ was me sitting in on a natural foods cooking class she was taking at the local community college taught by a male gay couple who where so funny and helpful. I think everyone had a blast in that class. We did some recipes out of ‘Diet For A Small Planet’ and learned to cook with tofu. (That was ~40 years ago, wow)

Factor meals have been fantastic. The first shipment usually comes well-packaged, and the meals are tasty. Pretty great for busy days when cooking ain’t an option. And give oranges to rabbits in moderation only.

The vegan menu from factor could be a fun way to revisit healthier eating habits. Who knows, maybe the meals will pleasantly surprise both of you :smile:

But right now we have a freezer still nearly full of their meals. We’ve been trying to pull as much of the sauces and other add-ons out those are more than likely the source of the huge fat loads. The base food isn’t bad at all, but the fat and sodium is a concern. Spacing them out, we hope, will be the best way to deal with them. I do doubt that I could talk her into trying their vegan diet. It’s a shame. I worked as a cook/chef when I was younger but she won’t eat much of what I cook. No idea why. :person_shrugging:

Yikes!!

That sucks. I’ve been thinking of trying their vegan diet and have not pulled the trigger, and now likely won’t. Wow…
