Food falls into a broad category of “better than expected”. Perhaps the diet-to-eat Jambalaya would not be recognized by Paul Prudhomme as his family delicacy. However, it’s still delicious enough: meaty and stewed tomatoes, and there’s not much biting besides chili and chili. The abundant shrimp didn’t bring people to worry about the rubbery feeling in reheating food. The hydration and texture of the rice are also the same as any meal I would expect from microwave-safe recyclable CPET plastic.
These plans vary, but overall, what you’re looking at is that the 10-piece plan for $130 per week is planned to $225, fully replenishing all 21 meals of the week, which is a lot of home cooking or freezer fares, but far less than Doordash.
With a plan, I will follow
The diet-to-eat “balance” option is its most popular plan, still traditional in terms of weight loss, offering an old-fashioned calorie restrictive diet plan that is outdated in the modern era of this modern stylish diet and hedonistic anti-sugar industryism. Men get 1,600 calories a day. Women get 1,200. Each of these calorie counts is significantly lower than the metabolism requires maintaining homeostasis in adults, and that’s the point: It’s a diet.
The site touts the usual success story from people who lost 53 or 60 or 85 pounds. There is also an Atkins-style keto option, Diet-to-Diet is one of the few plans designed specifically for diabetes or pre-diabetic insulin meals. The Mediterranean program I tried was not specifically listed as a calorie-limiting plan, but the meals still hovered below 500 calories. Overall, if you follow the meal plan for each meal without replenishing your own food, you’ll be hungry. In your experience, this is how eating habits use or don’t work.
Nutrition, after-meal meals, everything wanders in USDA guidelines. The fat calories of each meal lingered 30% south. The sodium was added for three meals and did not break the lid. As long as you eat it, it can be a healthy food.
But in reality, even if you are using a meal plan to adjust your weight, you may be eating or snacking on something else. Or at least, of course I did. These meals are a hearty lunch, but a small dinner. If you were like me, you would love to eat trash late at night.

Good meat, wet carrots
Diet-to-eat meals are very good when judged as healthy microwave meals. But, of course, they can’t stack fresh food.
The meals I try from diet to diet tend to follow a very specific pattern. The meat is usually better than expected. Starch performed best, especially for the diced apple pancake rolls for breakfast, without the extra syrup sweetness; a hearty chicken and tarmond stuffed with “Italian potatoes” served with couscous. Or hammy, the cheesy Monte Cristo is packed with jam and served with pleasant plantains.
