I don’t like how you have to pay before you can look at their meals.
It may have changed now. I was able to look at the current week meal offerings before I decided to try it out a week ago.
Yea why do they do thatttt
FACTS
Agreed but I bought it anyways. They have a lot of selection. I hope they taste good
They changed that.
I use Factor because I live in a food desert. Also, the restaurants near me is mostly unhealthy. Factor is cheaper than grub hub and it tastes great. I spit the keto dinners in two and add more veggies to each meal.
Great idea!!
During covid at the height of quarantine factor was delivered 1x a week for free in OC and they were delicious! It was too much to consume but spot on with flavor and portion. I couldn’t read anything neither could my mom nor my grandma.
It's fucking disgusting. The literally the worst TV dinner I've ever eaten.
Good idea!
The Agoge diet works great and you feel good, contrary to the keto diet. Keto isn't supposed to be adhered to by healthy people and without medical supervision.
Thank you for taking the time to do this review. One of the greatest in depth videos I've seen in a while that didn't drag on, your use of chapters is amazing. You've got a new subscriber! My wife and I have been looking for an alternative to hello fresh for a few days a week with our busy schedule, this looks like a great fit. Thank you again!
Thanks Nick! I’m so glad to hear it was helpful for you 😊
Thanks for the thorough review. Just what I was looking for.
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful 😊
Great review. Most of us interested in factor are looking at carb count, not caloric intake. But the taste and photos of the food is very helpful
Always love an honest review.
Thanks Greg!
wow this was such an amazing and honest review. I really appreciate it and I think I’m gonna try it lol
My first shipment comes today so was looking to see what people think - thanks for the great review I'm excited now
I hope you enjoy the food!
@@MissSarahEK VERY impressed, exactly the kinda meals I was looking for (keto/easy). Ive only had the blacken Salmon w/ Gouda and Broc so far, but it was perrrrfect. Surprised that Salmon heated just fine in Microwave using their instructions. A+
Your observations were pretty good. I order the day before watching your video so looking forward to receiving my box. Thx
So how was it?
I’m newly diabetic and I’ve had a hard time. Just got my first box a few days ago (keto) meals. So far everything has tasted good.
It's a keto thing. Creams, olive oil, etc. added for flavor and fat content. Seems like a perfect fit for Keto and/or Paleo.
exactly
Exactly. It’s what it should be for Keto.
extremely good content Miss Sarah E K. I broke that thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the superior work.
Thank you! So glad you liked it 😊
Thanks for the review, just saw your review on another food delivery brand that I'm just not that thrilled with and decided to give Factor a try, will be arriving next week!
Your intro chime made me think I had an eBay sale lol good review! Definitely helps.
Hah - I’ve heard that before but never realized it was the same sound 🙃. And glad it was helpful!
This was an excellent review. Thank you.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful 😊
I just cancelled mine. I liked the food but had major issues with the packaging and shipping. The food trays would arrive just cool and wet, mostly because the frozen gel bags would come open and spill a gross sticky gel inside the box. Also, the deliveries were made from the back of a pickup truck that doubled as a lawn service truck. Not sure how this happened but they were not delivering using reputable, well known services.
Thanks for the in depth review. We've already received 6 meals and I agree 100% with you.
Glad you can relate!
REALLY REALLY HELPFUL!!!! THANK YOU :)
I'm 3 weeks in to using factor and enjoying the foods very good. I use the began plant base and think the meals are filling, tasty and satisfying and offer about 7 different meals so far. That's enough variety for me.
The ones I’ve tried are delicious! I’m keto but do care about calories so I like the comment below that says she splits them in two and adds more veggies…great idea!
Great video. Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks
Subscribed😊
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Best Review and unboxing ever.
My problem with Factor is the fact that a lot of the meals are around 10-14g net carbs which is hard to stick to a 20g net carb diet per day for ketosis. I used Fresh n Lean before Factor and I would say it is easier to be in ketosis since on average those meals were around 3-5g net carbs and around 400-500 calories per meal. I did Keto Fresh n Lean for 5 weeks and went from 230 lbs down to 194 lbs.
Are you serious??? That’s impressive. Did you exercise as well?
Wow! Congratulations to you. May I need to look at Fresh and lean
@@idisagree8902 Yup weight lifted 6 days a week, cardio, and intermittent fasting in the mornings.
how many calories were you eating a day?
awesome as keto is great.. BP and sugar level gets back to normal with Keto. I need to jump start it again and don't have meal prep time
Healthy fats are good for you and that's one of the things I like about this meal service! I tried it for the 1st time this week and I'm really enjoying it. It fits my keto lifestyle perfectly!
I appreciate this I’m going to order this week for the first time.
How’d it go?
It’s a little pricey but you got to remember that you’re not cooking it and you don’t have to wash dishes lol which saves a lot of time out of your day
Very true!
Plus, it's being delivered in insulated boxes so that it preserves the freshness of the meals. That is never going to be cheap. Lol
God Bless you thanks for the video 🙏✌🏼
I’ve been using them for 10 months for their keto meals. They are great but the variety for keto is so limited. I’ve basically had the same 6 meals for almost a year, they really need to step it up
💀💀💀
Did you lose a lot of weight?
@@AndreiFantastic about 40 pounds when I was being strict, now I use them more of a convenience for lunch at the office
That’s why I canceled my subscription. I got tired of all the same meals and veggies all the time.
I like the idea of factor, other meal services make you make everything like blue apron, i feel like this would be a good option for older people who cant cook for themselves, so they wouldn't have to get fast food all the time, but i would get the nutrition facts easier to read and use a cardboard tray instead of a plastic one, I've also seen cardboard lids on some frozen foods.
Thanks for the review, we have used companies like hello fresh but sometimes we just had no time or energy to cook, so we tried one that was tv dinner style like this one, I cant remember the name be we ate maybe 2 of them and threw the rest away cause they where disgusting. We started doing HEB meal simple, but they are limited on what they have. Might give this a try to supplement the HEB meal simple and Kroger ready meals.
thank you for the honest review! i was just about get a weeks worth of food from them, for my partner and I. now I am reconsidering.
So glad it was helpful!
I've been using this service for a while now and I love it. I'll continue to use it for the foreseeable future.
Great for low-carb folk that are also calorie conscious. Low-carb helps make calorie counting more bearable by making you feel full for longer periods of time due to the high fat intake and factor helps take a lot of the work out of daily planning.
Right now, I do no more than 30 net carbs and 50 total carbs per day with a 1748 calorie budget. I log all my food/drink with Loseit and factor makes it all a million times easier. I use my kitchen scale a lot less now and usually just for snacks.
Glad you are enjoying it!
Omg I LOVE your kitchen!!!!
what would you recommend for someone looking for low carb High protein box. I've had Bariatric sleeve and I'm looking for meals to take to work for lunch.
Decent review. I've been using factor for a few months now and after trying out a few other meal delivery services I'm genuinely impressed. Organic delicious keto meals in 2 minutes...yes.
Glad to hear you are enjoying it so far 😊
Have they helped with weight loss? Or are you doing keto for health reasons? 🤔
Glad you guys all don’t care about the waste going into out landfills just cause y’all can’t find time to meal prep on your own!!!
@@jaidarandle3245 cry about it
They are AWESOME!
Amazing. I am new to Factor. I am trying their different diet preferences that they offer.
Factor meals 🍽 are very yummy 😋 Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. Your knowledge 💡 is amazing 👏
It looks like a glamours frozen dinner. Very great video:) Thanks
Thanks for your honest informative review. I subscribe to factor and alot of what u said rings true. A lot of the other factor reviews I've seen on TH-cam are poorly done or seem like ads .
So far that was the best assessment/review of a meal program thus far. Have you tried any other meal services you can comment on?
How fresh are they if they are sent from Chicago or Are the Meals made in our own city or state ?
Thank you so much for all of your reviews! Would it be possible for you to add the shipping carrier information, i.e., UPS, FedEx, etc., w/each of the meal companies? Appreciate your consideration and love all of the info you provide!
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely try to include that in the future 😊
My health has improved and I now have energy. I'm no longer prediabetic. The meals have tons of fat and salt. I have 2 wk around that.
I don't think shipping is included in that price?? Unless it depends on the region, I had to pay $10 for shipping
Do you think that this service is beneficial for those with adhd, a busy schedule, and who like to exercise a lot?
Your review was super insightful!
I was on the fence about ordering these meals due to their high saturated fat and cholesterol levels... I am personally watching these specific two things and so your review helped me realize that no, I do not want to try this service.
I am looking for a more "healthy" well balanced meal service, could you please recommend one? I'll do my research on it before purchasing, don't worry.
Oh, I'm also on a weight gain journey.
Thanks again! 😄
Remember: the definition of Keto is HIGH IN FAT, moderate protein, and low in carb. It is a form of low-carb, but many low-carb people like bodybuilders think protein is #1. In fact, too much protein gets converted into carbs anyway (gluconeogenesis) and too much protein promotes cancer (autophagy). This company gets it right. Optimized Keto, even for bodybuilders. I still don't know how to say the company's name. The logo is F- which, good Lord, should not have been allowed by their marketing people. I will try them out when I clear out the steaks and chicken from the freezer.
Lol, definitely agree on the name! Thanks for watching :)
I think you are misunderstanding autophagy. It actually INHIBITS cancer cell survival. I eat a keto diet and reach autophagy while fasting.
Does anybody have any info on the quality of the Olive Oil? Most Olive Oils are cut with other low quality seed/vegetable oils...
And a lot of us don't care it's packaged in plastic either. 🤷♂️
True! I’m just here to point out things that might be important to people 😊
We’re going to be going through a remodel in a few months and are looking for healthy meals we don’t have to cook. Would this be your top choice? Or is something else better? Price not an issue
Factor is a great option! The meals all tasted great. I also like Freshly. Daily harvest and splendid spoon are both good options if you want healthy plant based meals, although their portion sizes are smaller.
Got my first delivery scheduled for tomorrow. I'm an old bachelor and need a better diet so thought I would try these. Not cheap but I hate to cook so don't mind paying for the service if it's tasty. Will know soon enough.
Beware: I deactivated my account after placing an order. I was never told that I also needed to manually cancel the order. The representative I talked to told me this happens all the time. Why have they not fixed this issue? This is a poor way to run a company.
I know this video was 1 year ago but would you recommend this delivery service for ppl who want to lost weight? Specifically lose some belly fat?
Who else is watching this while eating a Factor meal?
Can you get an 18 pack meal plan and store some meals in the fridge to eat over two weeks?
Cook Unity’ does have variety of choices low carb menus, and if you buy 14 meals at a time for under 15 carbs for dinner that is most affordable too. Fish, meat and chicken...you just got to look.
Thanks for the suggestion!
All nutritional facts are on the app as well in which you will see as well as can double back if case you forget what was in your meal .
Good information
How can I sign up for
The affiliate program
how do you remove the payment method for good without having to add a new one?
Thanks for the review. I have been debating. I am trying to lose weight and the keto type meals will work for me. I only plan on doing the meal delivery service for about a month just to get me started. I pretty much do my own cooking at home. What is your channel about?
Glad it was helpful! I do a variety of product reviews on this channel - focused on popular products/services I see on Instagram/Facebook ads :)
Good review
How long did it take to deliver after they prepared the meals? My only worry is that the veggies may not be fresh. We usually don’t eat overnight veggies.
I’m not actually sure how long in advance they are prepared before they are shipped/delivered, but I would guess a few days since shipping was about 2 days I believe.
@@MissSarahEK thanks for your quick response! My first order will arrive in two days, I will try and see how does the veggie taste.
Awesome I hope you like it!
@@se7enkoo How was the meal and veggies
What’s a better priced meal prep company that you would recommend?
Mosaic and Everytable are good options if you are in their delivery areas!
They should provide a Separate Meal List Sheet with All the Ingredients Listed or Get a Better Printer.
If you've have type 2 diabetes these keto meals are perfect. The fatty sauces and calories do not concern me. I think you discourage those with type 2 diabetes from concentrating on low carb and low sugar meals. In my experience, calories and fats are not as critical as sugar and carbs.
How quickly do the meals need to be cooked before they spoil? Which ready to cook meal service do you feel is healthiest overall if you’re not on a specific diet?
The packaging says ‘enjoy by’ 7days. You get a new set every week.
@@cutiepoplerez thank you very much
Which of these pre cooked meal services is best for type 2 diabetics? Thanks
BistroMD has a specific plan for diabetics. The meals are frozen.
Can you freeze the meals?
Thanks!!
Can you choose breakfast meals primarily for Factor meals? 😱
4:55 I feel like it might be helpful to mention the volume of food really shouldn't matter when the calories are derived from more fats and proteins rather than carbs. Carbs are mostly fluff anyways, we really don't need them especially if you're trying to lose weight or eat in a deficit. You're better off having slowly digestive compounds like fats which will keep you more satiated for longer. But you do need that self control after you eat meals like these to not reach for the bag of chips.
Solid review though, I will be checking these meals out.
Great vid
Thanks for watching!
once the shipment arrive, do we need to immediately store it in fridge or freezer?
Yes in the fridge!
I became intrigued by Factor because I'm physically disabled, can't prepare my own meals (as of now), and don't have any way to have groceries delivered to me - so this was a convenient way of getting some decent meals into my home without having to go and get them myself. Your critique on the quality and flavor of the food is promising. I've made my first order of six meals, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they all turn out.
Hey Brenden! I hope you enjoy the meals 😊. It sounds like it could be a good fit for what you need.
@@MissSarahEK My package of six meals arrived earlier today. I first tried the Middle Eastern spiced beef with cauliflower couscous and a yogurt-tahini sauce. It was even better than I anticipated it would be, and it was also quite filling. I really like that the meals are higher in calories. I'm satisfied with the meal and plan to order more in the future when I have the money.
@@BrendenNichols glad to hear you enjoyed them!
One of my favorite companies would have to be megafit meals one of my favorite meals are pomegranate pesto Pizza, jalapeno burger and the salmon and yams
They need to do a better job with their package and shipping process. I live in Florida and the gel packs DO NOT CUT IT. By the time the boxes have gotten to me, they are melted and even though Customer Service has assured me that the air temp in the box keeps the meals safe, I worry. This last shipment arrived with all the meals coated with the gel and they the paper sleeves were soaked. NOT HAPPY
MANY BAD EXPERIENCES: I've had delivery problems and so have the people I referred. I have also received meals that I DID NOT ORDER. Thank God I took screenshots of my orders to prove to customer service that I did not order the meals that were delivered to me. Two of the dishes I would never order. All 4 meals I received were meals I did NOT order. One time they sent me 4 of the same exact meals. Again, I would NEVER order 4 of the same exact meals. My referrals have had their own set of problems with Factor 75. Most of their meals do taste good but they are ALL extremely high in SALT.
You need more salt on keto.
Wow, if your going to have more salt, may as well eat a lean cuisine.
Got my first delivery today. They forgot 4 meals and all 3 add ons :(
Salt is only a problem if you’re not active or have existing health conditions , I am highly active and sweat a lot so higher salt is beneficial
Thanks for this review 😊. I do videos too and I use an inexpensive lavalier mic I purchased from Amazon which helped my sound quality. Just a suggestion for you 😁🔊
Thanks! I actually have one I was using in this video, but I realized after I filmed it wasn’t properly connected 😭
Hey - Try the Tentacle Body Mics you won’t regret it!!
What other meal delivery service do u recommend ?
It depends on what you are looking for, but I also really like Daily Harvest, Freshly, and Splendid Spoon.
@@MissSarahEK ik mostly looking for healthy balance meals
@@MissSarahEK daily harvest is awesome 👏
Do you put them in the freezer or fridge?
The fridge!
The food taste great but the net carbs are really high for my keto lifestyle.
What about preservatives?
I love how these meals taste but each meal is 600-800 calories with 9-14 net carbs ! Technically they are keto, but they’re Definitely NOT for ppl trying to loose weight on keto.
The sodium amount was high on the shrimp Alfredo.
Looks goot to me the only thing. The food recipe box is big but lil bet food insaid. Lol
I did Hello fresh this week - not impressed. I got freshly next week.
Unlike Fresh N Lean, Factor offers some meals with over 700 calories making them calorie sufficient for men. Fresh N Lean meals are usually in the 400 to 500 calorie range, insufficient for men.
So has anyone lost weight with these ? I was browsing and didn’t see a lot of “ keto” but they all look keto to me
meals taste great and convenient but im not so sure about the high fat and sodium content
the reason the calories are high because of keto, keto focuses on macronutrients counting instead of calorie count. So cutting carbs and sugar makes your body loose weight without counting calories. The keto allows you to eat carbs only from veggies and 20g of carbs with 0 sugar. high calories doesnt matter because your body is using all those calories right away, there is no storage.
How often do they change their menu? I get bored quickly!
I’m not sure actually on that!
You didn’t mention sugar content. I noticed all of their low carb meals had quite a bit of sugar. They say their meals contain no refined sugar but 7 grams of sugar in 0ne meal is a lot if you are on keto.
Would this be good for a college student
It’s definitely super convenient which would be great for college students. The price may be a bit high though :/
Super high on carbs 780 per plate? Saturated fat 95%? Healthy Saturated fat per product should be 10% max... don't know what to do
Can this help me to lose weight?
Does it have to be low carb?
In my opinion this is a good service if your trying to lose weight and improve your healthy living however if you want to just maintain your weight you should probably get something that had a bit more fats than that. I would definitely give it a shot and see with my intermittent fasting will result in.
Too much oil! It felt as though the oil took hAlf of the calories as the portion were small with high calories like you said.
My chest was hurting after eating 2 of their meals. Definitely Keto friendly though
