“Very good food. Most meals are better than I can get at a restaurant. I appreciate the meals do not have an underlying aftertaste of some basic ingredient like a preservative that makes them taste the same and off. Each meal is individually flavored with appropriate seasonings, fresh flavors. Priced reasonabily. We will see how things go over the hot southern months for delivery. I like the variety on the menu. Would enjoy more veggies in the asian dishes.”
“The quality of the meals is generally good. The chicken and turkey meat are remarkably tender. The beef/steak meat isn't that much, but it's ok. The plastic seals are impossible to peel off and must be cut with a knife or other sharp tool. On meals with separate compartments, it can be difficult to cut the top film when the cutting tool reaches the divider. These are not necessarily complaints, just observations. Improving these areas may not be cost-effective, so if fixing them would raise the price of the meals, then "NEVERMIND"! I particularly like meals with turkey and broccoli, which minimize carbohydrates, which are important for me as I am a Type 2 Diabetic. It would be helpful to see the sodium amounts in the upfront information for each meal, rather than having to drill down to the nutritional information. If you can create or modify current meals, or as separate option, for lower sodium AND lower Carbohydrates, perhaps listing them as "Diabetic/heart healthy friendly" that could be very attractive to gain new users among the vast population of folks that require the lower values. If those options were available and still had the excellent flavor of the present meals it would make Metabolic Meals a cut above all other vendors of prepared meals.”
“Metabolic Meals is great. I love that the food is actually real food- no preservatives or artificial anything.The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish there were a bit more chicken and turkey options- seems like about half the choices are usually red meat, half chicken and turkey.”
“Overall the meals have been ok. Some of the steak meals have been too tough and chewy and veggie portions could be larger. A lot of the meals sound good to try until I see they contain mushrooms - not everybody loves mushrooms. I’d like to see some fish meals and spaghetti with real Italian meat sauce options. Also please label spicy dishes so I don’t have to guess by reading ingredients.”
“OVerall the food is good and have been happy with the service. It is good to see sugar levels on most foods, please make sure on all foods and detailed in the food selection on the website. Important for people who are diabetic.”
“My husband and I enjoy the Metabolic Meals to supplement our lunches. We’ve been using them for many months now, maybe even a year. We certainly have found some meals that we really enjoy versus others that are just OK or we don’t like it all. The macros fit well with my needs. I do find most of the meals need additional seasoning added to them. My husband was worried the portion sizes are too small, but he’s finding they do fill him up. He sometimes adds a roll or something like that. We have had numerous occasions where a meal will arrive with the plastic film cut, seems to happen from the way they package them with the ice packs. Customer Service is quick about providing a coupon code for a free meal on your next order. I do really wish they would switch up the menu more often and put out new meals because it does start to get a little boring, a lot of repetition.”
“Metabolic Meals are very convenient, they save me time that I don't have to plan and shop and cook, yet I still get high protein nutritious meals. They fit perfectly into my GLP-1 plan. I dislike the meals that are made with dark meat chicken and there's no way to know which they are except trial and error. I like that they seem to me, to be low calorie but they are up to forty something grams of protein.”
Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback, Jeannie! We’re glad our meals are saving you time while still supporting your GLP-1 plan and protein goals.
Good news on the chicken: each meal on our site notes whether it’s made with chicken breast (light meat) or chicken thigh (dark meat). Just click on a meal photo to view the description and ingredient list. A small number of our original recipes still list “All Natural Chicken,” and we’re actively updating those as they rotate through the menu.
“MMM has been a limited source of clean, convenient, high-quality, and delicious meals. As non-garlic eaters, the number of menu items we can choose from is low, but we are absolutely thrilled with the meals and sides we have ordered.
Deliveries to Florida always arrive with plenty of ice packs that are still almost completely frozen. No shipment has ever arrived after the indicated due date and once arrived a day early.
We dream of a large MMM FOMAP-friendly menu selection, and containers that are made from, and sealed with, a natural resource instead of chemical-based. We remove everything from the MMM containers and cook in glass or stainless steel or Our Place Thermakind pans or sheet trays. The containers are why we rate MMM 4 stars instead of 5.”
“Metabolic Meals are great when you don't want to think about what to have for dinner. Their meals are tasty and heat quickly in the toaster oven. All of their chicken breast dishes are cooked perfectly - the chicken is always moist and tender. We wish they would add more bowl dishes, and please bring back the Cheeseburger Bowl, it was our favorite!”
“We enjoy the convenience and quality very much. Taste is good and the quantity is just right especially for someone trying to maintain or loose weight. The only recommendations we can make are sometimes there isn't enough sauce or topping and a few of the meals taste the same. Overall though this is the best prepared food we've eaten and we've tried several companies. Customer service is really good, quick and responsive. Oh, just one more thing, the cold packs used in shipping are awful. Would you consider using dry ice or something less heavy and awful?”
“Food quality is superb! Portion size a bit small for the money. Extra Protein meals sides aren’t balanced enough for the amount of extra protein you get, you should include a little more of sides to balance out the meal better, more meals with extra protein and more vegetables options would be nice!”
“In 2024, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. This was a bit disturbing to me as a recent widower who barely knew how to food shop to begin with. This new gluten-free diet threw me for the proverbial loop. Reading labels, scanning UPC labels, searching terms like: "gluten-free", "certified gluten-free", "possible cross-contamination with gluten in our factory" and researching the internet Celiac forums can be quite confusing -- not to mention dead wrong at times.
Fortunately, I found Metabolic meals where ALL the meals are gluten-free. No research to do, no fine print, no disappointment in food that looks enticing until one reads the dreaded small print on the ingredients label that says; "may contain wheat, rye or barley".
Metabolic meals has been a big help to me. All one needs to do is look through the menu and click on the meals that look appealing. Good food. No gluten. No worries.
I do wish, however, that Metabolic would make more coupon offers. Perhaps a system where the customer earns reward credits for purchases made. Personally, I have never even skipped a single week of meals in the time that I have been using Metabolic. Surely, Metabolic should see the advantage to giving back to its loyal base. That said, Metabolic Meals is good food at a fair price.”
“I’ve really enjoyed using Metabolic Meals. The meals are super easy to choose each week, and the deliveries are usually right on time. There have been a few delays here and there due to weather, but overall it’s been very reliable. My only wish is that they offered a few more meal options to keep things fresh. Otherwise, it’s been a great experience so far!”
“Enjoy most meals. Chicken the best meat. Beef too chewy. Wish some meals had alcohol free options. Need more cruciferous veggies. Would like to see some Plant Paradox options. Would like to be able to choose 4 meals as opposed to to 6. Would like to be able to compose my own meals. Overall I enjoy your meals”
“First, for the most part, they have treated me well. For the meals, they have been good tasting and easy to prepare in a microwave. None of us or any product is perfect, mistakes happen. If you have an issue with the meals or service, contact them and explain the issue with photographs, they will try to make it right. I have learned these lessons through experience.”
“I have loved my experience with Metabolic Meals. I have celiac disease and food is a daily challenge. I use my Metabolic Meals for my lunches every day. They are easy to grab from my refrigerator every morning and take to work with me. I know I have a safe meal to eat for lunch. Having these meals takes away alot of worry and stress for me.
I have been ordering now for a few years and recently have been getting bored of the same meals over and over again. Some more variety being added more often would be nice.
I still run into some packaging issues with broken films on meals when I receive my delivery. Also, the packaging is sooooo heavy. I live on the third floor of my apartment building with no elevator. Carrying the box up two flights of stairs and then back down again to take it out to the dumpster is an exhausting task. If there was a way to cut down on the packaging or the ice blocks. Also seems very wasteful to throw all that out every week.”
“I wish the menu was larger, but overall I'm happy with the meals. Being able to quickly heat up a nutritious meal with very little cleanup has helped reduce my overall daily stress levels.”
