Is this a scam?

Is this a scam? It's a service that promises to break you 3 meal prepped meals a day you can reheat for only 5 dollars. Seems too good to be true. Has anyone done a service like this before and if so what's your experience with it? I'm sick of eating rice, grilled chicken, and eggs every day.

      I understand obviously they're going to be making money off it, but at the same time the convince of not cooking, saving trips on groceries, and having a variety of food is appealing to me.

      i do not need UPS involved in my dinners

      >UPS
      I didn't think about that. I was thinking they'd have their own delivery trucks and hand deliver food. That makes more sense. A bit of a turn off but for 5 dollars to stay a neat and at home I might still do it. Homegym master race.

      >15 dollars a day

      There's morons who spend that much on a single fast food meal. Having it brought to me is the plus.

        Are you fricking serious? Take 3 hours once a week and do some actual meal prep, you fricking lazy Black person. Even if you could afford it, that's absolute shit pricing.
        At an average of 400 calories and 26g protein for each meal. You'd spend $1k a month on food if you ate 2500 calories a day and at ~26% protein. Meanwhile I eat 3000 calories and ~30-35% protein, all at 40% of that cost.
        Make your own goddamn food.

            Lmao imagine not having your wife make this shit. She makes my eggs and chicken and vegetable shake every day for my lunch. When I'm on the last 15 minutes of the treadmill I text her I'm finishing my workout and she bakes salmon. She also shops for everything so we're always stocked. She also makes great cheat stuff like cornbread and cookies and pastries and won tons and pork belly and pasta.

            I literally do not know what's in my freezer or fridge because she handles all meal prep. I do not know how our particular washing machine or dryer operates because she handles all of that. Successful division of labor is key to success

      With all due respect, this is literally a horrible idea in all possible ways.

      On one hand, it's pretty clear that the meals here are probably worth only $2/ea., as mentions. You could easily do this yourself by boiling a huge bag of broccoli, searing some chicken in a pan, and making some rice in a rice maker, then dividing it out into portions. It'd cost you like $20-ish and would easily count for 10+ of those meals.

      More broadly, what's the goal here? If it's a hard cut, maybe, sure, I could see you going extreme and doing something like this. But not cooking is a HUGE mistake, especially if you're trying to get girls. Learning how to cook - and cook well - is wildly attractive to women, far more so than the extra leanness you're gonna get from autistically only eating stuff that's prepackaged for you elsewhere. You're going to get a lot more pussy offering to cook for women than you will trying to come up with some excuse to take off your shirt. And, remember, learning to cook on your own doesn't mean you'll be eating poorly: you could easily hit your macros while also making food that doesn't look like the adult version of babyfood.

      Don't get me wrong, I respect the desire to cut here, but you might be looking at this thing a bit wrong.

    if you rely entirely on them then:
    >$25/day (the meals are small)
    >9000/year expense (reduce based on food shopping eliminated)
    along with low-effort nutritional sources (shakes, eggs, yogurt, oats, etc) then you can sustain a >3000calorie diet pretty easily.

    would it be worth it to me? absolutely not. if you meal prep then you're spending a single day a week and have full control of your food. even if i possessed the disposable income, i would just make tastier meals or substitute my meal from time to time with something local as opposed frozen, bland food from the middle of the country.

    So I looked at the plan. For one week you get 21 meals that are all between 250 and 400 calories. So three meals a day and you might crack 1000 calories a day, for $105 a week.

    It's only $5 per meal for your first week. After that, the price goes up. None of these meal prep companies online can afford to sell you $5 meals and still be profitable. They have to pay labor, food costs, packaging costs, and shipping costs then you have to factor in marketing costs too.

    A better idea is if you live in a big city to search locally on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist or Offerup for a local meal prep service. Those places offer better value.

    You fricking mongoloid do some meal prep and it even comes to cheaper than this. The more you cook in one go the cheaper one portion gets. I cook 3 kilos of food for one week and a day comes to 2.75 dollars, 1400 calories a day (not counting the breakfast ofc) and at least 75 80 grams of protein. Supplement with eggs, cheese and ham in the morning and you're good to go

    I once ordered some food boxes with a specific amount of kcal for a week.
    They were advertised as healthy, filling and cooked professionally.
    What I got was absolutely moronic. It adhered to the kcal budget but you had shit like some fricking cookie eating up half of it, sugary juices that took up a third. I think the most insulting thing they sent me was half a pear swimming in wine, served in a fricking plastic box.
    Because it was set up in such a moronic way all the portions were tiny and nothing was filling. Massive lack of filler vegetables too.

    I've done several meal delivery kits. Some are kind of fun if you like to cook or want to learn how to cook, but they always stuff tons of potatoes in there and crap like that. These microwave ones are kind of gay. Just buy from the grocery store and do your own meal prep. It will be cheaper and better.
