    Meal delivery diets... Are their any good ones?

    Anyone tried any of these meal delivery companies like Flexpro and such? With 2 jobs kids, dog training and working out again I have a ridiculously busy schedule and can't find the time to meal prep and cook properly. Half my meals are bought in a drive through and I need to make a change. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these companies.

    Have you tried the 'bro' thing and precooking everything in the am and taking it with you in tupperware?
    It is an option and will be much cheaper.

    Can't assist you in the companies since I am uninformed myself.

    I don't trust anything delivered or made ahead of time other than with myself or wife. You really never know what your getting. It would be a bummmer to spend the money and time for month to find out you ate a bunch salt, sugar, preservatives and so on. Whole foods=Good Nutrion!! Spend the extra money on smaller packages of food you can keep with you in a small cooler. GL

    I have triplets, work two jobs and train like a dog four times a week. I am seperated and "make" time to grill up my chicken and boil some pasta or rice. In fact I usually do it while I am cooking breakfast on Sunday. Once it's cooked/grilled put your meals together and your done. It's just a habit really that you "just" need to get into.

    I am sure.....but don't you feel half the battle is planning ahead and by doing so you are more likely to stay on track?

    Yes sir. Uncomplicated approach. I put proportioned food in airtight containers making salads along the way. Much easier. No thought in the morning as I am running out the door! Apple or protein bar/ shake in car for emergencies.

    Agreed on all point I cook 10 chicken breasts at a time and 2.2lbs of lean ground steak beef and rice and potatoes and broc/peas all at the same time takes about 30 mins max then into ikea sealed boxes bang them into the fridge.

    All my meals for tomorrow day are already cooked and ready to go.

    My wife has been doing Nutrisystem for the past 7 weeks and is down 14lbs. It's working great for her. I agree though that you need to make the time to prep your meals though. It's simply part of the lifestyle. How long do you store chicken for when prepping? I can't eat it after it's been in the fridge more than 24-36 hours.
