Factor Meals has a large variety of healthy, prepared meals delivered fresh. They make every effort to replace less healthy pasta, potatoes, and sugar with healthier alternatives like cauliflower mash, zoodles (zucchini noodles), alond flour, and coconut sugar.
We’ve had several boxes of Factor meals and have tried a range of breakfasts, dinners, soups, and juices. They offer a nice selection of each so you have a well-rounded fridge full of healthy food.
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
- Paleo
- Keto
- Whole30
- Gluten-Free
- Dairy-Free
- Diabetic-Friendly
- Low Calorie
While Factor Meals offers a wide range of foods, they specialize in Keto meals having about 10 Keto meals each week to choose from.
Factor also offers what they call “Calorie Smart” meals which are typically under 500 calories each. They offer about 10-11 of these meals each week.
You can find about 4 vegetarian or vegan options on the menu each week.
We love the breakfast options, which you don’t typically find in meal delivery. While they only offer two breakfast items each week, they usually consist of pancakes and an egg meal.
Ingredient Quality
- Non-GMO
- Organic
- Grass-fed Beef
- Wild-Caught Seafood
- Free Range Chicken
I wish Factor Meals would offer non-GMO, organic ingredients with better quality grass-fed, pasture-raised meats and poultry, and wild-caught seafood.
But, they have added antibiotic-free chicken breast and you will occasionally see organic cauliflower or wild-caught shrimp every now and again. So, you can tell they are making an effort to improve their ingredients, but it’s not guaranteed, consistent quality.

Factor Prices & Coupons
Factor prices are quite high if you opt for their smallest plan of four meals a week. I think you really need to go to the six meals a week plan to get the best price break.

|---|---|
| 4/week | $15.00 |
| 6/week | $12.83 |
| 8/week | $12.38 |
| 12/week | $11.50 |
| 18/week | $11.00 |
All plans include free delivery, and they always have a sizable coupon for new customers, so take advantage of those below

The Bottom Line
I would definitely recommend Factor Meals to anyone looking for tasty prepared meal delivery. Factor is best for those on a keto diet plan. While they do have other options, the dietary options are few.
What we liked:
- Fresh, prepared meals
- Great taste
- Breakfast options
- Offers soups and juices in addition to meals
What we didn’t like:
- Ingredients aren’t reliably organic, grass-fed, cage-free
- Pricey meals up to $15/each
- Can only skip 2 weeks at a time
Is it possible to try one of your meals before purchasing a subscription.?
Most meal companies, including Factor, do not give sample meals. You can always try their smallest box as a sample.
Do not waste your money. I tried a week of 6 meals, only like one. IMO cheap old Banquet frozen meals are better and much cheaper
