When appetite changes, having food ready can remove one job from the day. SmashMeals offers prepared meals from a dedicated gluten-free kitchen in Kingsport, Tennessee. Use the current menu and your own nutrition plan to choose what fits; a meal-delivery service cannot determine your medical needs.
Start with your care team's plan
The 2025 joint advisory from four nutrition and obesity organizations emphasizes individualized nutrition, adequate protein, and strength training during GLP-1 treatment. It also addresses reduced intake and gastrointestinal side effects. Those priorities need to fit the individual, including their medical conditions and food tolerance.
Read the American Society for Nutrition's explanation of the advisory. This article focuses on choosing and receiving prepared meals. Ask your prescriber or registered dietitian about nutrition targets and symptoms.
Use the label, not a blanket meal promise
Before adding an item to your order, review its serving size, protein, calories, ingredients and other listed nutrients against your plan. Recipes differ. One entrée's protein amount does not describe the whole menu, and a smaller portion also contains less of each nutrient.
- Choose foods and textures that fit the guidance you have received.
- Check the whole dish, including sauces, sides and allergens.
- Plan around the portion you expect to eat, rather than assuming every container is right for you.
- Follow the package instructions when storing leftovers or reheating a meal.

Build an order around your actual week
Count the lunches or dinners that will be hardest to prepare. Choose food for those occasions, check your available refrigerator or freezer space, and review the total at checkout. You can place a one-time order; a subscription is optional.
For example, a customer might order for three work lunches and one evening when cooking will be difficult. That is an ordering example, not a recommended meal frequency or nutrition target. Your schedule, appetite and food plan determine the quantity.
Choose pickup, local delivery or shipping
- Pickup: select an available location and follow the instructions for that order.
- Tri-Cities home delivery: enter your address to confirm availability, the delivery information and the charge.
- Shipping: $30 flat-rate FedEx Ground shipping for eligible addresses. Meals are frozen before leaving the kitchen. Arrival timing depends on the destination and carrier conditions.
Local pickup and delivery meals are prepared fresh. Regular weekly orders close Thursday 11:59 PM Eastern; we cook on Friday. Your order confirmation provides the applicable fulfillment details.

What the dedicated gluten-free kitchen means
SmashMeals does not share production equipment with gluten-containing food. That describes our preparation process; it is not a promise that every meal fits every allergy or medical diet. Check individual ingredients for dairy, soy, eggs, nuts and other allergens, and contact us with specific questions.
Read our kitchen and allergen information. Gluten-free preparation does not establish that a meal is right for every person taking a GLP-1 medication.
Compare the total order
Compare the meals you would actually buy, their portions, the delivery or shipping charge, and any subscription terms. Fresh and frozen formats both exist across meal services. Neither format alone proves better nutrition, lower waste or better value.
Use our source-linked provider comparisons to investigate alternatives, then check each provider's current terms. For SmashMeals, browse the current order menu and confirm the option available to your address.
