What we think of FACTOR - Healthy, Meal Delivery Service (not sponsored)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 เม.ย. 2023
- We've been letting a little too loose with our diet that we decided to check out FACTOR - a company that curates healthy, never frozen, meals made by professional chefs. We decided to document our first week of receiving our FACTOR delivery and outline the pros and cons to this meal delivery service.

I did factor last year for a while, I'm back now, i hate cooking and end up door dashing fast food too many times. I like that this is quick, healthy and the meals are tasty. It's also really not meals your going to get at a restaurant.
Yeah would love to get back into cooking!
I have been getting Factor for a few months. I love how easy it makes eating healthy. I have saved so much money by not ordering from Uber Eats and have lost 25 pounds.
Congrats on your success!!
Kimberly how many meals a day do you eat? In order to achieve that amazing weight loss?
@@TheCarlitos213 I usually have one a day. I have just coffee for breakfast, sometimes cereal. Then I take a factor to work for lunch. I either have a Factor for dinner or eat something very light. 2 days a week I eat very little, just coffee and then a Factor for dinner. I get home late those days so I just go to bed.
-sponsored. Any microwaved meals aren’t “real food”.
@@Aviation_hub-kr7hwwho is sponsored? The video?
Hell yeah! I've been waiting for a non-sponsored opinion on this specific service.
Let us know if you have any more questions and we'd be happy to answer! We've done another week of this (since) filming.
Love this. Would love to see a TH-cam short version of all the factor meals you eat. Love the first impression faces and very detailed in explaining the taste.
We've taken a pause from this but a short wouldn't be a bad idea if we ever pick it up again!
Agreed...but were they filling? Wondering if you guys were hungry afterwards 🤔
Thanks so much, you guys are adorable and sooo helpful :)
Sure thing, glad we could help!
Life saver for people who cant cook
True!
Lol at Mark putting on an Apron. I’ve been using them for a couple months now. I usually skip every other week. I get to be “healthy” in that we are less likely to order Wingstop (lol) when we’re too lazy to cook. Definitely not getting it because I crave it though lol. I replaced Hello Fresh with it because I wasted so many being lazy lol.
I think Hello Fresh would make me leave the home lol
Great video, but only if I play it at 1.75 speed. At first I thought it was playing slow mo
I watch most videos at 2x speed
How perfect is this? I’ve been considering this for us as well-but wasn’t sure about the taste & value. I may have to consider it now after watching your review 😊
Feel free to ask more in depth questions if you have any! We did have a promo coupon that made it cheaper starting out. If I think about $80 providing 3 meals for 2 people, it doesn't sound bad compared to eating out, just other "factors" to consider like the monotony of eating these.
@@ItsJamesandMark I initially considered it because of 50% off promo code I saw on one of the podcasts I watch on YT 😂🤣 It definitely isn’t bad considering how much money we spend on eating out or buying dinner. I like the convenience and portion control with the meals, but also want to be able to balance it out with easy meal prepping I could do to compliment it as well. Have you both tried any other meals besides the ones in this video? I feel like adding a salad or more veggies to all the meals 😂
James is funny af, love the style of this review 🤝🏾
Thanks Justin!! You got us to rewatch this video :) 😂
I would have chosen blackened salmon also, mainly because the mango is probably not ripe yet. We have a dish this week from good food that includes fresh mango and plantain and the mango is finally (after four days) starting to ripen.
Oh, you just need to reheat them. Never mind about the mango ripeness.
I'm starting to think I don't really care for mango salsas to begin with lol
@@ItsJamesandMark I don’t think mango salsa should be heated up. It needs to stay fresh. But you’re not going to go in and remove it before heating the salmon up.
Those actually looked really good I think I would enjoy the blackened salmon
Taste was better than what I would have thought, portion size is what I struggle with lol
I just placed my first order. We'll see how it goes. I don't cook. If you ever opened my fridge you question how I'm alive haha. I'm watching this as I'm in 2 day of my water fast. Surprisingly it's not bothering me too much
Good luck on your water fast! And come back and let us know what you think of the meals
Were there instructions for cooking in the Oven?
Yes they included it but it varies depends on the content, the one we had says it'll take 7 mins
Just got my first box!
What did you think?
Pretty delicious meals. Not fulling though. They come in handy when u dont want to cook or wait for an order of food.
My question is is it actually hellthy i would be down to try it but only if its actually helthy im weryed about sodiom and suger counts maby if you have time can you gies please let me know if its actually helthy and werth a shot im a bit skeptical sins its just microwaved meals
You can check out the nutrition value online and you can also cook in oven!
@ItsJamesandMark I just bot my order now 18 meals I'll let you know how it goes
That Garlic Chicken sounds fun.
Yesss it was good!
This looked so good until you compared the chicken meal to cafeteria food lolll, I'm curious are you still using Factor? Great video, best review on Factor I've seen!
We used it recently because we forgot to skip a delivery lol, it actually worked out cause we needed food that week and didn't want to grocery shop or go out
I just ordered my first box. It arrives next week. I hope its good, but more importantly I just want to eat healthier. Eat for fuel, not for taste.
Oooh let us know what you think!
FACTOR is beyond amazing
Do u have a favorite meal?
I hear a lot of people saying that there is too much sodium in their meals, so is it truly healthy
Possibly! If they cut fat you wonder what might get added in!
@ItsJamesandMark I've been using them for about a month or so now and they do seem like a healthier option
My parents force me to eat these for dinner every day. I’m so done with it. I want real food. The meals aren’t even filling.
those are some tiny portions I would starve
Yeahhh usually still need a piece of fruit or something after
Yeah but is it hard to cancel
We didn't know that til after signing up, yes they don't make it easy
@@ItsJamesandMark yeah I was researching these and that's how I came on your video which was super helpful but I was like coming there specifically to find out if it was hard to cancel. Something about gyms and certain subscription services like I don't know it's almost cult like in this world how these things work.
Thank you so much for responding!
Sure, we've had to continuously skip deliveries via emails and they let you do it two weeks out, one time we forgot in the last month and ended up with delivery but serendipitously we needed it that week. I would like to find a way to cancel so we don't have to do this anymore.
@@ItsJamesandMark I can't remember the phone number but when I asked Google home mini at my house straightforward how to cancel it it said you have to call a phone number and they mentioned a website so there's probably an actual phone number you have to call on the website to cancel it.
Good luck guys I wasn't expecting to hear that you were still in a scenario like that
It takes like 5 buttons to cancel… super easy.
Yall seem like Disney Adults
More recently became them, but wasn't for most of our life.
you have so much likeability i was smiling the entire video
Oh thanks for your kind words!
James before he eats the meal: I'm dying already I need wings. LOL Just teasing. I feel like you guys might like something like Hello fresh because the food seems more hearty & you cook it yourself. I've never used it but it seems good.
Hello Fresh is one we never got onto, we've done Blue Apron and Freshly! I think I want to make dinner already next week lol
Add a salad with your meals.
Love your matching shirts at the beginning. You both look great.
The salad is a great idea!!
Garlic mushroom chicken thighs 💕
Those were yum!!
The rice is quite good .
I would have eaten the 3rd dish first (don’t like mango with salmon).
I get it James, it feels like a punishment.
I think I wanted to start on a high note so opted for the other salmon first lol
@@ItsJamesandMark I get that too, but it (ending on a low) didn’t seem to discourage Mark from wanting to reorder.
We're on a second week of this now heh
Garlic mushroom chicken
The chicken dish could have been smeared on a baguette. Screw Keto!! 😂
We did look back at the photo and turns out it wasn't a whole piece either, but also shredded and blended in with the cheese lol
Bubba would need to eat like 6 of those at meal to feel full.
I would believe that
Any salmon
Oooh then the blackened one is our preference!
It hurt me to see how disappointed James was when the microwave wouldn’t work. 😢
I don't think the camera was rolling when mark said we could use the oven as alternative lol
3 days ... lol you have thousands of days in front of you not 3. Sounds like u don't want to be on a diet.
Correct we found other means to maintain our weight besides using this meal service
BTW, your thumbnail looks like you’re being forced to eat this. 😂
Hahaha love it
I would start off with a salmon and end with a salmon, so I don’t have to eat salmon 2 days in a row. 😂
Hahaha we had the same reasoning.
LOVE IT loll
Belly happiness = mental happiness 😂
And this is why you're in your field, you just get ppl!! Lol
Start with chicken
The food taste as good but salmon is healthy.
Nothing looked good
Presentation wasn't too shabby imo.
I couldn’t watch the review. Listening to you how moist dudes talk was irritating
Ok
I suppose some people haven't woken up in 2024, if you don't have something nice to say don't
Scroll & roll. You're rude.
Audibly said ew reading your comment, sucks to think people like you exist
Came here looking for a better meal service, left realizing I married the wrong person 🙃
Thanks for the honest review! 🫶🏻
Wait what? Lol
