“I love being confident that all meals are gluten free! It gives me piece of mind. Some of the meals are a little bland but it really helps with watching my calories and portion control. I don't think I would have lost my 72 pounds without your meals.”
“My husband and I are enjoying the meals. Most of the time the chicken is excellent. The only issue we've had is sometimes there's a little something in the chicken usually in the tenders that we can't chew.”
“The meals are really good. The portions are small, but good for those watching portion size. The main thing I would change about the meals is that I wish more had vegetables, mainly green beans, broccoli, and corn. Meals are simple/basic without a bunch of extra stuff added which is one of the reasons I chose this company. They make everyday normal meals without trying to “fancy” them up. I will definitely continue to purchase meals from Metabolic Meals, as they are very convenient.”
“I like the convenience and nutritional value of the meals. An improvement would be for them to come in oven safe trays so I wouldn't need to transfer the food into another container for heating in the oven.”
“The meals are always good. I like the macros on them as well. It was hard to find meals that were less than 500 calories with other meal services without having to eat the same thing every single week.
The plastic is very hard to remove off the trays. Sometimes I get pieces of bone in my meals.”
“The food is excellent. However, they could use more variety. I have asked for more pork dishes and sausage dishes for a while now, yet none still appear on the menu.”
“Overall, the meals are great! Our whole family loves them.
My only complaint - there have been 2-3 times where, when opening the box after receiving, one of the plastic wraps on a meal has been opened. Not sure if that happens from packaging or shipping, but we throw it out (now wanting to eat something that's not properly enclosed). So that's a bummer when needing to basically throw $12 away.”
Thank you Carrie — we're so glad the whole family is enjoying the meals!
If a meal or package arrives damaged, please reach out through https://bit.ly/MM_HelpForm and we'll make it right. We track packaging quality closely— and it affects fewer than 1% of deliveries— but when it happens, we want to hear about it. Thanks for trusting us to cook for your family!
“Meals are great, filling and reasonably priced. Saves a ton of time in prep and never any waste here. Just wish the breakfast selections were a little better only reason for 4 ⭐️'s”
“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.
