Factor: chef-prepared meals with weekly home delivery

Factor is a prepared meal subscription service that delivers weekly dishes cooked by chefs and designed by dietitians. The catalog rotates weekly with over 100 options inspired by cuisines from around the world, and includes breakfasts, smoothies, and snacks. Meals arrive fresh, never frozen, in insulated packaging with ice, and stay fresh in the fridge for up to seven days after delivery.

How the service works

Customers choose their dishes from the weekly options, receive the box on their preferred delivery date, and heat each meal in the microwave in two to three minutes or in the oven. No shopping, cooking, or cleanup required. The subscription has no commitment: you can modify, pause, skip weeks, or cancel anytime from your online account.

Dishes and dietary options

The menu is organized into categories such as GLP-1, high protein, and Mediterranean, plus low-carb and vegetarian options. Each recipe includes detailed ingredient and allergen information. The company notes that its kitchen handles common allergens and recommends checking labels if you have severe allergies. The menu can be filtered according to each customer's preferences.

Ingredients and nutrition philosophy

Factor states that its meals are made with real ingredients, high-quality proteins, vegetables, whole grains, and fresh herbs, with no refined sugars. The company declares that it excludes artificial colors and sweeteners, refined sugars, and high-fructose corn syrup, and includes two servings of vegetables or fruits in every dish. Examples of dishes it mentions include filet mignon, Chilean sea bass, and slow-braised short rib.

Add-ons and additional services

In addition to main meals, the service offers more than 70 add-ons: breakfasts such as pancakes and egg bites, snacks and desserts, protein-rich shakes and smoothies, and extra proteins to boost your dishes. It also includes free nutrition coaching sessions and a dedicated line for businesses.

Clinical study and value proposition

The company cites a 2025 randomized controlled trial with 120 participants who ate Factor meals for lunch and dinner over 24 weeks. According to the reported results, participants indicated that the meals helped them live a healthier life and make better nutritional choices. Factor clarifies that this was a general study, not specific to GLP-1.

Promotion available at the time of analysis

The site showed an offer for new customers with 50% off the first box and free breakfast for a year, limited to one breakfast item per box while the subscription remains active. The promotion includes 20% off boxes 2 through 5, does not apply to premium products, meal upgrades, add-ons, taxes, or shipping fees, and is not valid outside the United States.
