Metabolic MealsReviews of mymetabolicmeals.com

I ordered 6 meals my first time. It took 12 days to be delivered. That is a ridiculous amount of time for a weekly meal service. I chose this service over 12 others because I wanted bland food that I could add my own flavor to. The meals were disgusting. They were very small portions. Especially the vegetables. I tried to eat some of the roast beef and it was mushy and tasted like straight onions. I couldn't even taste any beef flavor. The potatoes had a weird chemical /plastic taste to them as well. The chicken in the next meal was wet and rubbery and had zero flavor to it. There was pasta with peas and only 4 peas in it. They also charged me $128 for this which is actually more than we spend as 2 adults at a grocery store. I cancelled before I even got my first order because it took so long to arrive.

The food is basic and not good. It's impossible to order or make changes on their website. The customer service is the worst. I skipped a week and they still charged and delivered my food and I tried to cancel, and my food still came. I have tried a number of different food services. Some I still use this is the only one so bad I am writing a review to warn people away. My trainer recommended them to me and he now knows not to suggest them to anyone else.

I don’t know why Metabolic meals has such a poor rating. I’ve had five weeks of meals so far and have found all the GF meals tasty and plenty of food. Every single one had vegetables unless you select a protein only item. I give them 4 stars because there isn’t a telephone number to call and emails go unanswered. The average meal is between $12+ to 13+ per meal unless you want a larger portion of protein then your looking at $14+.

I had to read the reviews here because I was floored by how many bad reviews there were. My experience has never been anywhere near what these poor reviews describe. I’ve been with Metabolic Meals since they started, after I left CookUnity. I will agree with one person’s comment that the pictures don’t always represent what you actually get. I even wrote to them about that when I first became a subscriber. It was their lasagna, and it was pathetic. Their image of that lasagna was beautiful, and what showed up didn’t even look edible. But I ate it, and it was good. Wasn’t great, but it was good. When it came to the other meals, they were all excellent. One of the biggest things that most of these ready-meal companies get wrong is the chicken. Nobody can do chicken right, but Metabolic seems to be able to. I’ve only had one rubbery piece of chicken from them. Other than that, it’s been perfectly tender, whereas with other delivery companies it’s almost always chewy. Customer service has always taken care of me if I’ve had any issues, which have been pretty much nil. I’m very happy with them and have no complaints. Highly recommend.

I’ve been receiving meals for 3 weeks. The food is very good, selections are good, seasoning is perfect. One delivery was one day late and tracking deliveries is poor but overall compared to a couple of others I’ve tried I will be continuing to order.

So, I never leave reviews unless I am very dissatisfied or vice versa…Trustpilot is usually pretty accurate so I always try to check it before ordering from somewhere I’ve never heard of. Fortunately, I forgot to do that with this company and checked the reviews AFTER placing my order….needless to say I was very stressed about the quality of product I would be receiving so I was very anxious for delivery day. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA why there are so many negative reviews….The quality is top notch! The portions are modest but they do fill you up! And this helps significantly for portion control so really the portions are perfect - not too small and not too large. I think I have finally found a product that is GREAT tasting and will help me lose weight while staying healthy!!! As for all the reviews about being “overcharged/automatically placed orders”…the website is quite simple and direct…. If you don’t want meals you can either skip before the deadline or cancel all future shipments. To metabolic meals: THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRODUCT AND USER FRIENDLY WEBSITE!!

Delivery: My first delivery was a day late. They said it was because of the Labor Day holiday… but they knew about the holiday, and could/should have adjusted the promised delivery date. Website/ordering: I don’t like how “the week of” date doesn’t match the shipping date. It is confusing. I signed up for some meals and then learned I would be in the hospital… the website does not allow you to make ANY changes, even if it is before the cutoff date for the given ordering period. Customer Service: I requested cancellation of the second order BEFORE the cutoff date, but they didn’t get back to me until the next day, and then said it was too late to cancel. Food: The food is not bad, but it is not very appetizing in appearance. I prefer a container with at least two compartments so that, when appropriate, the protein and sides are not all mixed together. I LOVE that the portions/calories are significantly less than Factor. I also like that there were plenty of meals with neither mushrooms nor green peppers. Packaging: TONS of insulation, even more than Factor; the meals were still acceptably cold even with the delay. Finally, the huge label makes it so that you cannot see the contents. I prefer the label on the outer sleeve.

I ordered a one time delivery of six meals and without my permission they signed me up for a subscription and made unauthorized charges to my credit card. I had to change my credit card number. Don’t deal with this company, it’s borderline criminal/fraud.
