Are Meal Prep Delivery Companies Actually Worth It?! Factor vs Megafit vs Homemade! 

I agree. Factor lost me as a potential customer because of how scammy that shit was when I tried to use their site

Good pt

A lot of them are like that

There is an option to see the meals, it’s a sales tactic

You can see their menu lmao. Just Google Factor 75 Menu

Seriously other reviews feel just like watching a 10-15 minute advertisement, the wording and description feel so scripted

Yeah definitely pros and cons to both! It’s a luxury item for sureee👌

This is true but you have to add in no variety throughout the week and actually having to prep and cook said meals.

​@@JoeySuggs bro you picked like the worst Factor meals I work there try the pasta or the fish lo mein but I get them for $3 each

You're right you need two meals to get full but that hits with a snack trust

I do the same with beef/fish/ chicken/rice veggies, I think these companies would be a lot more successful if they didn’t gatekeep decent prices per meal exclusive to large quantities. I can meal prep most my meals but if I could use them for let’s say 6 meals a week at 5-8$ p/m as just a filler for variation or when I’m in a pinch I would totally do it. But if you get low quantity they charge you like 15$ which is basically just go to a damn restaurant at that price. Doesn’t make sense

Forsure I think you’re right about that👌 the convenience was nice though!

@@JoeySuggs Oh I bet

I've only seen these meal prep services only be valuable for really high income people. It's not only because they can easily afford it but because of money lost by devoting time to their own meal prep. They reach a point where you can't afford to stop to do stuff yourself but that's for very rare people. Most of us would be harmed financially for this level of convenience lol

@@JcruzFit yea I agree... Can make lunch for 5 days for about 15 bucks... 3 pounds of ground chicken and a large can of green beans. Simple, easy, and good.

​@@JcruzFit it's subjective and relative to your time plus finances. Most ppl still run to fast food options for lunch and dinner and quickly spend $15 to $20 per meal on a good day! And every now and then, "splurge" for Chipotle or something similar to be "healthy"... So all in all, you still spend about the same and end up with more calories and even worse health by the end of it all. Yes, I agree homemade food prep is the best way to go, as long as you have that time to prep and the ability to have a large variety of meals to make it past two or three days and don't give in to fast food options. Just a humble opinion from personal experience. And as a side note, like Hello Fresh, which owns Factor, you can change and/or pause or cancel services at any time as well.

Bro is grinding I love that

Same here bro I'm right there with you.

I don’t even keep track of how many hours I work as owning my own business but it’s a lot and I am single so a meal preparation. Kit is awesome for me. I don’t care how much it costs. I’m not a cheap loser American, that nickel and dimes everything. I understand the cost of me going to the grocery store, Coming home, unloading the groceries, putting all the groceries away, thinking of how to prepare the meals, actually making the meals, preparing the meals, and packaging the meals for the week, lol this is a no brainer and I do not have the time or the want to do all of this. This is why I believe a lot of men get married, is to have a wife Control their finances, take care of the children, take care of them, meal preparation, and the grocery shopping, and take care of cleaning the house. This is exactly how my dad had that when I was growing up. My mother never worked a day in her life at a job, but she stayed at home and took care of everything and that is a full-time job for sure. my dad worked and that was it and then he did his woodworking in the basement after work. He built his electric guitars and had his side hustle business but yeah, it worked out great for them but for me being single having a food delivery service works out perfectly for me because I don’t like to go grocery shopping, nor do I like to go and make meals. I don’t know how to do all the stuff. I’m gonna leave this to the nerds. Like I do with everything. Everything cost money and that’s fine. That’s why I work six days a week so that I can afford the finer things in life.

Let’s gooo glad you enjoyed the video and it helped you make a decision! Let me know how it turns out

Hows this going i find myself in the same scenario, i typically make breakfast daily, struggle tremendously cooking dinner consistently

Love it hear it glad it helped🙌🙌

Yeah definitely manageable with factor and that diet👌

Yesss definitely cheaper making it yourself👌

That so smart using there ideas

what's your layout for that price like? as in groceries list?

It’s nice to have disposable income for nutritional convenience let me tell you what.

Yes it's always cheaper to do thing as yourself (usually) but you also have to factor time. Going grocery shopping, gas, cooking, cleaning, and etc. Is it cheaper yes but is it worth your time?

Yessss that’s exactly why I like em too!

Is 220$ worth the 14 meals or no?

@@wolf_lobo7726always coupons online

@@wolf_lobo7726Where I work, the average lunch price is about $15 to $20 per meal if you order take out. You multiply that by 20 or 22 work days for the month, and your lunch cost is about $300 to $400 per month. To me, it is worth it. To others it can be a waste of money.

@@wolf_lobo7726 Comes out to about $16 a meal which pretty good if it's a takeout replacement. Same price as doing pickup and definitely cheaper than doing delivery, but still healthy

Also, never pay full price, both companies have coupon codes online that you can find with a quick google search. Most of the times you can get a solid 30% off, brings it down to like $11.50/per serving which is more than reasonable imo. When you account for the time you're saving it's a no brainer for busy people!

Yeah I’m with you there for sureee👌

No airfryer or oven at my work. I have to use a microwave.

​@@tastybrownie7448 you can use a hot logic, it's a hot plate.

@@1394rudy What is that? How does it work? How much does it cost?

100% agree I use MF when the have a sale lol

For sure agree! I’ve also heard that about the factor meals not staying good in the freezer so I better eat em quick!

Is factor better now? I tried them 2 years ago and they felt like crappy TV dinners, like the ones you buy at the supermarket freezer section

Yeah factor doesnt do well in the freezer. I usually wait until i get a good sale offer and do a big order of like 18 meals. I'll keep a weeks worth in the fridge and freeze the rest. There's a pretty big difference in quality between fresh and frozen. And they're a pain to reheat from the freezer too.

Let’s goo I love to hear it and I’ll definitely keep the content going!

Yesss definitely gonna use this stuff for travels👌

Yeah that’s crazy

Let’s gooo love to hear it and more coming for sureeee👌

Agreed! I think that’s the way to do it for sure🙌

Yeah completely understand that situation👌

For sureee of you don’t have to cook it it’s even better imo!

Yeah for sure keep ‘em in the freezer until your almost ready for them is nice!

Appreciate the support sounds like a solid plan👌

Yeah I think when they sit for a while in the freezer some of the sauces and stuff get weird for sure!

Yeah for sure cooking yourself will always be cheaper and more customizable!

Yeah for bulking this is great👌

Lmaooo always!!

Please tell me what your buying I need help cutting down my costs and I eat the same amount of calories

For the average Joe having these as back up meals isn’t a bad idea. But yeah everyday every meal replacement is not optimal

@@JasperDD even eating all organic is a bit of a waste unless you’re aware of your health vs risk management and eating organic does lower your chances of infection illnesses

woo hoo

Idk man my “college degree job” is at about 320k a year and I’m 6 years in, my career path leads to 7 figures. I’ll take my meals pre prepped lol

@@slayden633 what you do for work im underpaid

Yeah it definitely helps🙌

Lmao I don’t wanna think about my credit card bill😵‍💫

Thanks was wondering about them too!

Yep exactly my thoughts👌

Lmao she learned from the best

Yeah but what are you eating?

@@Tubastank1 bacon egg sandwich in mornings, chicken and rice or chicken and pasta with vegs for lunch, ground beef or steak with vegs or rice dinner

holy shit that's rlly cheap. What's your CoL like, what grocery store do u go to, and what do u normally buy when u go? I spend waaaaaay more than that on meal prep so if I can get my numbers lower I want to lmao

@@shadowwvfx i go to aldis. Used to go to ralphs or walmart but stuff there is more expensive. I get enough for a week with the budget. I dont really do snacks but if I do itll add like $10. Stuff there is hella cheap
