Lose Weight Meal Kits

Inside: Find out which are the best meal delivery services for weight loss (both cook at home and ready to eat meals are covered). With options like clean eating, vegan, paleo and keto you are bound to find one that works for you. I use these in conjunction with my favorite weight loss app. Affiliate links to some of my favorites are used in this post.

You see them everywhere lately. Flyers in the mail, TV commercials, facebook ads, newspaper articles, blogs. Meal Delivery Services are out in full force.

If you have never tried home delivery meals before, what happens is you log onto the company's website, select your plan (how many meals a week you want to receive, and how many servings you want in each meal) and then you select the meals for your first week from the choices offered.

You pop everything into the fridge, and when you're ready to cook you grab your recipe, ingredients and tools and get started.

Oh! The recipe cards! So each box will also include one recipe card for each meal. If you have ever cooked a meal with more than one component, only to have one part done way early, while the other part takes forever, you will appreciate this method of cooking. The recipes take you step by step through the whole meal, rather than having separate recipes for the main entree and one for the side, etc.

I'd spend hours scouring pinterest and google for recipes that met everyone's taste preferences, and was still quick and easy enough for me to do in the midst of our busy lives. Half the time one of the recipes would be rejected outright by hubby or one of the kids. It was exhausting and I didn't have hours to waste.

Now, hubby selects our meals from the meal delivery service app (according to his “preferences”) for a whole week in a few quick clicks. I cook them and we all live happily ever after.

This means neither of us have to spend time searching our cookbooks, memories, sale papers or the internet for ideas or recipes.

When I started a new weight loss plan back in September, I was worried about how I could possibly continue with our meal delivery service and still stick to my weight loss plan.

Okay now you know why they are perfect to use on any diet. Below are the two different strategies to use to make meal delivery services work within a weight loss plan.

The main strategy people use to lose weight using meal delivery services is to subscribe to a meal delivery service whose main focus IS to provide meals for weight loss or healthy eating.

I am not talking about freezer meal weight loss companies like Nutrisystem. They might be a great solution for some people but we tried it years ago and they were not for us.

Book, Wine And Time: Nutrisystem 5 Day Weight Loss Kit

These meal delivery kit companies deliver fresh ingredients or freshly prepared foods that are all calorie conscious or focused on a certain diet.

To lose weight with these services, just reverse engineer your day. In other words log your food ahead of time. Look at what the calorie count is for the dinner, and log it in your weight loss or calorie counter app in the morning, then plan breakfast, lunch and snacks to fit within the remaining calories.

If you are looking for weight loss meal delivery services that send fresh, uncooked food for you to cook, there are several to choose from. You could call them meal prep delivery services since they do a lot of the prep for you. Check out these options and the variety of meal delivery plans they offer:

I have tried all of the above and my favorite was Sun Basket (see my Sun Basket Review for everything that sets it apart) but none of them were bad.

If you are looking for pre-made meal delivery options, or ready-to-eat weight loss meals, but want to steer clear of store-bought freezer meals, check out these options:

The other option for losing weight with a meal delivery service is by using a standard one (ie. not weight loss specific).

We have kind of bounced from one meal delivery service to the next, trying to find the best fit for us. Your needs may be different from ours, so by no means am I saying, “My way or the highway!” But this has been what worked for us.

The one thing that all of the above plans have in common is that their meals are NOT all focused on weight loss.

Blue Apron does have a new option for WW Freestyle, like I mentioned, so that is related to a healthy lifestyle, but otherwise the calorie counts vary widely on the meals at each of the big name meal delivery services we have tried. Blue Apron also recently added Beyond Burgers to the menu:

I generally rotate some of the same breakfasts and lunches by week, over and over, because I like them, I know they fit with my weight loss goals and they are easy.

So, I eat my normal breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day, log them and then I look at the calorie count for tonight's dinner.

If it is more than the calories I have budgeted for my dinner, based on my weight loss coach app, I plate a portion of my serving onto my dinner plate and I put the remainder of my portion directly into one of our favorite glass storage containers.

Depending on the number of calories, I eat the leftovers for 1 or 2 lunches, or sometimes I just save them for the kids because I know they will love them.

If you're the only one in your family trying to lose weight, then choosing one of these makes sense. LalyDad walks a couple miles each day to and from the train, and he is 6 foot 2, so his calorie needs are higher than mine, so we usually use Plated or HomeChef.

If you like doing your own shopping and cooking, but want to follow meal plans and exercise plan that is spelled out for you, check out this weight loss app. (There's even a free 7 day trial!).

PlateJoy is another option if you want to do your own shopping, it is a meal planning app that is extremely customizable based on your diet, the number of people in your family, ingredients to avoid, etc. They also recently added Instant Pot Recipes.
