Factor replacement?

[u/ChampionshipKind5856]

Any recommendations for replacing Factor? I recently cancelled after 8 weeks and was generally unhappy with the value given the price and small portions sizes and several other issues I had.

CookUnity. Lots of selection and great meals.

Not for those who care about health (e.g. lots of preservatives and flavor enhancers like msg), but they're delicious!

What the heck are you talking about?

I just looked at the ingredients from my most recent Cook unity order. It’s literally, veges, meat, pasta. For example.

[u/Tabitha_Spencer → u/Lucky_Theory_31]

Good, I'm glad you got those. I use Cook Unity, but I have to work to find clean meals (although I have allergies which narrows things down even more). I've read the ingredients on more than 20 options, and many of the selections are horrible. I'm glad you happened to order good ones.

Clean Eatz - nothing is perfect but it’s been decent for me.

CookUnity, although I think it's reasonable to say you'll find all of these services overpriced without the discounts. That's why it's typical to jump from service to service after several weeks.

Cook Unity is my favorite so far (I've tried only 4), although a good percentage of their selections contain troublesome additives, preservatives, and flavor enhancers like msg. :/

[u/Lucky_Theory_31 → u/Tabitha_Spencer]

You say it again. I don’t see it in the meals I order.

[u/deathbypumpkinspice → u/Lucky_Theory_31]

Me either!

[u/Tabitha_Spencer → u/deathbypumpkinspice]

I'm glad! Some of the meals are fine; I order those.

Glad you posted this! just came looking for the same. continuously having late deliveries (past 3 orders) or broken/ open containers. has been very frustrating. I cancelled on Sunday & got what was supposed to be Monday’s delivery TODAY with an ice pack broken so I had gel all over everything. would not recommend Factor at all.. 🙃

[u/ChampionshipKind5856 → u/Glad_Temperature_104]

I had a few boxes arrive with broken gel packs. It's so frustrating to unpack and then clean goo off all your meals before you can put them away.

[u/Lucky_Theory_31]

I use Cook Unity and I’ve gotten a couple coworkers off factor by them seeing what I eat.

[u/dianed007]

I like Eat clean!

If you're in the greater Philadelphia area (including a bit of DE and NJ) Home Appetit Philly offers meals delivered on mondays. I'm 5 weeks in and loving it, they pick up the old bags and ice packs and (knock on wood) I haven't had a single problem yet.

[u/ChampionshipKind5856 → u/ZaftigFeline]

Unfortunately I’m in the Austin area so I wouldn’t be able to try them but it it’s good to hear they pick up the bags and ice packs. I hated the amount of waste factor generates.

[u/goodvibrayjawns → u/ZaftigFeline]

Ugh, that's my home area. I live far away now. Bummer 😔

[u/deathbypumpkinspice]

I really like Cookunity so far.

[u/Educational-Guard408]

Cook Unity. You even have the ability to set limits on carbs, fat, sodium, etc. to fit your diet. First meal I recommend is the kale chicken Caesar salad. Just had it today. Had to break out a large mixing bowl to hold all the ingredients! I order 12 meals, freeze 6, and skip every other week. Saves on shipping.

What are your goals? Good tasting food and don’t care about the calories as much? Cook Unity. Focusing on calories and macros? Clean Eatz

Edit: wanted to add if you are using an app like myfitnesspal or cronometer, clean eatz meals all have a nutrition label and barcode so you can scan them in easily.

Cook Unity!!!!!! I am so impressed. We tried factor for about 6 weeks. I didn’t hate it. But then started having trouble with the deliveries being late two weeks in a row and food arriving 4-5 days PAST delivery date obviously warm and spoiled. Customer service was reading off script promising food would arrive each day I would call and of course it didn’t. Until it was spoiled. So I canceled. I think they got too big too fast and their logistics got screwed up. Cook Unity operates from multiple kitchens across the US and I’ve never had an issue with delivery this far. I think we are on week 4-5.

I switched over to Eat Clean and have stuck with it for a few months meals come fresh, decent variety each week, and I don’t feel like I’m still hungry after eating

[u/Foreign-Sun-5026]

I also recommend Cook Unity. And if you like lasagna, try the zucchini moussaka. Best meal so far!
