Best Bodybuilding Meal Delivery Services, From A Holistic Nutritionist

While the macros vary slightly (you can see all nutrition facts on the website before building your box), the keto dishes average about 35 grams of fat per meal. What’s more, the fat comes from high quality ingredients such as meats, nuts, healthy oils, and vegetables, rather than omega-6-heavy seed oils. The meals average about 41 grams of protein and 10 grams of carbohydrates. 

Trifecta also offers breakfast. You can choose from five to 14 weekly entrees, with the option to add seven breakfasts.

Meals arrive fresh weekly, but you can pause or cancel your subscription anytime. Trifecta also has a money-back guarantee: If you don’t like the food, the company will refund you for up to seven meals in your first order.

Two example meals:

Sustainability & quality: Trifecta says ingredient quality is one of its first priorities. The company uses organic ingredients for nutritional value and to promote ecological balance. Trifecta sticks to avocado, coconut, olive, and sesame oils instead of nutritionally-inferior seed oils. The majority of Trifecta’s packaging is recyclable, and the company is working toward a goal of 100% biodegradability by the end of 2023.

Once you sign up, you’ll be able to view menus for the next three weeks—so you can plan in advance to make sure you stay within your targeted macros. If you need additional protein, or want to supplement your meals with more calories, there are add-on options such as egg bakes, sausage links, chicken, and steak. You can also add pre-made smoothies and cold-pressed juices to your weekly box.

Factor is a subscription service, so you’re committing to weekly delivery at signup. That said, you’re able to skip weeks as needed. You can choose four to 18 meals per week, and each meal arrives fully cooked and ready to heat in the microwave or oven.

Two example meals:

Sustainability & quality: Factor has a zero-tolerance animal welfare policy, meaning the company will only use humanely raised meats in its meals. All meals are non-GMO and made without refined sugars. Most packaging Factor uses is recyclable; the one exception is the plastic film that covers each meal tray.

Pete’s has two paleo meal plan options. The standard meal plan allows you to choose from breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, with up to 30 meals total in your box. The “All-Day Bundle” helps you save a little money by paying for four weeks’ worth of meals upfront. If you have higher calorie or protein goals, you can add extra sides and/or double the protein at checkout.

The downside is that you can’t choose your meals in these plans; the company decides which meals you get. If you prefer more customization, you can opt for the mix and match plan. With this option, you can choose five to 17 meals from all dietary options, which includes paleo, vegan, Autoimmune protocol diet (AIP)-friendly, keto, and kids. 

All meals ship fresh on Thursday and typically arrive by Friday. You can choose from four different delivery preferences: weekly, biweekly, every three weeks, or every four weeks.

Two example meals:

Sustainability & quality: Pete’s Real Food is big on sustainability. The company works with local suppliers for a shorter supply chain and minimizes food waste by cooking everything to order. If there is any food left over, it gets donated to local food pantries. All packaging is environmentally friendly—and most is curbside recyclable.
