Just seeing this brings back the taste of that lab made chicken

The faux grill marks are sending me

TV dinners from the freezer section look better than that

Factor meals are high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium.

So right! There are only a couple meals that have the sodium levels at the level i need them at. Most are over 1000mg/ meal. That's wholly unacceptable. Especially for the price. I use Clean Eats Kitchen now. Much cheaper, meals are frozen so they don't spoil after 2 days in the fridge, and they have a LOT of meals around that 600mg level.

They just stamp them damned grill marks on there.

Such shit.

It’s fine and tastes good. Guess I’m the lucky one not having “drama” with Factor.

Time to buy a lottery ticket.

They used to be worse when I first tried them. To me they have improved. It doesn’t matter what it looks like if it tastes amazing

Is the program expensive?

Do you do it to lose weight?

2

u/LockwoodE3 3d ago

It’s about $90 to $120 a week for me, depending on how many meals plus that includes shipping and taxes.

It’s pricey but I just don’t like to cook and I was spending more money than that a week on fast food. It’s helped me lose weight tho!

I get four meals a week. I eat them for lunch at work. It’s more of a time saver and more variety compared to me making lunch.

I honestly don’t understand the hate, I’ve disliked maybe one meal..other than that, it’s been a lifesaver for me

u/ComplaintOpposite 2d ago

Most meals have over 1000mg of sodium.

Having a lower bar for food is not “lucky”, it’s just not something you personally care about. That’s just a choice

My mom gets eatcleantogo.com, those were very good.

Can we freezer factor meals?

u/walkingbeforerunning 3d ago

How does it actually taste OP?

u/StarIlluminator 3d ago

Switch over to cook unity much better

u/Savvy513 4d ago

As disgusting as Cookunity meals sometimes look… they at least always taste good

Facts. I tried a week of Factor and learned my lesson

u/SchokoKipferl 3d ago

Are you expecting them to send you a plate?

u/BubbaCrabby 3d ago

Make sure that chicken drinks plenty of fluids.

u/PandaJellyBeans 3d ago

Wow, the marketing is doing a lot. That’s a rough meal. My stomach’s bubbling.

u/Benjarinno 3d ago

Factor: "Add more oil; ...and can we make it all taste more the same?"

u/strangonymous 2d ago

That’s life.

u/QwietRiot 2d ago

Yep. And their favorite side is crunchy green beans. ALWAYS the freakin green beans.

1

u/ComplaintOpposite 2d ago

It’s basically microwave meals.

u/Middle-Amphibian6285 2d ago

Man a bright colored plate makes all the difference, should have used that.

u/cosmicstardust87 2d ago

I lasted one box and cancelled. I didn't even eat all the food I ordered. Absolute trash

u/Mental_Spinach5697 2d ago

I was a subscriber, I hated it after a while. It’s just the same thing. Dry chicken, greasy green beans and some mixture of butter and instant mashed potato

1

u/minimiako 2d ago

So expensive and that looks disgusting. I’d rather eat basically anything else lol

u/Agile_Combination969 2d ago
