Yes. Every meal is macro-labeled with exact protein, carbs, and fat, so hitting a post-workout target doesn't require cooking or math.
Our standard menu is protein-forward and portion-conscious, which fits well with a reduced GLP-1 appetite. Confirm portion size with your prescriber.
Our Bariatric Line is 5-8 oz, soft-texture, 25-35g protein per meal — built for early post-op recovery. Clear it with your surgical team first.
We operate a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility — no wheat, barley, or rye enters the building. That avoids shared gluten-containing prep equipment and airborne flour from on-site gluten baking, which reduces cross-contact risk compared with a shared kitchen. Anyone managing celiac disease should review our allergen practices and consult their own healthcare provider.
Cooked Friday/Saturday, packed Sunday in commercial insulated boxes with gel ice packs, shipped Monday via FedEx Ground, typically arriving within a day. Fridge life: 5–7 days from arrival, or freeze for up to 6 months.
Never. Order one week, skip the next, come back any time. No commitment, no auto-renewal, no membership.
