Common Questions & Answers

What are the benefits of meal delivery services?

Meal delivery services save time and offer convenience, flexibility, and often healthier meal options. Meal kits can introduce cooking to beginners and provide access to fresh, preportioned ingredients, reducing fast-food consumption.

Consider any specific dietary requirements or underlying health problems you may have, your budget, preferred portion sizes, and the types of meals you’d like to eat. It can also help to decide whether you want prepared meals or would prefer to make the recipes yourself.

Different meal delivery services provide products of varying nutritional benefit. Be sure to check nutritional information and ingredient quality, and remember that what's healthy for someone else may not be as beneficial for you.

Many services offer options if you eat vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free. Services specific to Mediterranean, paleo, low FODMAP, Whole30, and other diets are also available. Check menus when picking a service to see what they accommodate.

Pricing models vary, often based on the number of meals and delivery frequency.
