@FuelMeals was generous enough to send over 10 of their meals for me to try out! I was really interested in seeing how their unique offerings, like the Steak Quesadilla, Rigatoni Bolognese, and Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese, stack up against other services I’ve reviewed, like Trifecta and Factor.
Here are my thoughts:
📊 The Macros: Most of these meals come in at upwards of 500 calories, and unfortunately, none of them pass the protein test. For example, the Steak Quesadilla is 500 calories, so I would want it to have at least 50 grams of protein. They seem to be higher in calories because they are higher in fat, which likely helps preserve them during travel and contributes to the taste.
👅 The Taste:
Rigatoni Bolognese: Really tender, moist, and great seasoning (610 calories, 34g protein).
Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese: Smells delicious and tastes great.
Buffalo Chicken Pizza: Another great option.
💡 Overarching Thoughts:
They taste great and are very similar to the meals from Redefine Meals, but they are ultimately too high in calories.
Have you tried any of these new meal prep companies?
Do you think they are using a ghost kitchen? 👇
