How do you pick the best meal delivery service for your lifestyle?īelow, you'll find dietitian and nutritionist-approved options for every type of home chef, whether you're looking for fully prepared heat-and-eat meals for your family or portioned-out ingredients with recipes so you can learn how to cook. So, before you start getting meals delivered to your doorstep, you need to figure out which program is best for your goals.

But, not all programs are created equally.

Meal kits get you in the habit of planning ahead and cooking your own food-a tried-and-true weight loss strategy, according to nutrition counselor Samantha Cassetty, RD. What are the benefits of a meal delivery service? Food is delivered right to your door with pre-portioned ingredients and step-by-step instructions or even in ready-to-eat containers. They make whipping up breakfast, lunch, and dinner so much more convenient-especially if you're trying to lose weight. Meal prep services and delivery boxes are super popular (and for good reason!).
