I signed up for a 6-meal plan from a company called Factor for less than $50 after using a coupon code. In this video, I try all 6 meals and give my opinion on the service overall.

As weird as this sounds, I love your voice and hearing you talk. It’s very soothing.
I think you would like my voice a lot better
It is. I could hear him talk forever
I agree with you!
I also agree. Kind of like Bob Ross
@@a.d.c7941You're funny..😂
Started at FedEx a few weeks ago and been delivering these and hellofesh a ton. I was shocked to see that people actually buy these but they definitely do! That’s the whole reason I’m looking at reviews, I might get them myself!
You're delivering a ton of these? At those prices?? Must be couples with dual incomes and no kids.
I'll prefer Factory, Hellofresh is treating there employees like garbage.
I do understand hellofresh owns them but Factor is its own warehouse I believe.
@@candysmith8724 its just so convenient for the gym
Tell them mofos to stop throwing packages
Thank you so much for providing this honest, thorough review. You don’t know how much it helps
I mean I’m ending up paying less compared to what I normally eat. People are complaining about portion size but that’s another reason I’m paying for it is so I don’t over eat like normally. It’s also healthy and I don’t even have to drive to the grocery store and buy all the ingredients and cook it.
Eh the portion size thing can easily be solved with a kitchen scale. And as for going to the store, a lot of this stuff you will buy a few times a month and be good
I've been eating Factor meals, and I totally agree with you. This might not be idea for a family but for a single person like myself, this is definitely a good way to go. Someone said it is wasted money. Well, I actually waste more money cooking because I end up wasting a lot of food. I have such a huge issue with preparing too much food. I swear in a past life I probably had 15 kids. It just depends on people's lifestyle. For some it could be a waste of money or not enough food. But for people like myself, it actually is better and proportioned perfectly--good for my lifestyle, for now!
@@VeronicaVeronica777 preparing too much food is easily fixed by a 20 dollar food scale
The meals are over whleiming with sodium lol .
I tried an introductory 8 meal Keto package for about $60 delivered. My wife likes them, I'm okay as well. Wasn't expecting the auto delivery the following week, $89 and change, about $30 off. Had to cancel deliveries since we can't afford them when the meals get to the $12-$15 price each. I'm going back to meal prep. I've got decent culinary skills, just have to keep adding new recipes. Cheers!
at 12-15 a meal you can just pick the restaurant you like and have them deliver it. It's fresher, bigger meals, (usually 2 meals worth in 1 serving) and they put more attention on the individual meals. I don't see how these services survive? The ONLY advantage I suppose is if you are so busy, you just can't wait to have it delivered when your ready to eat. You need it already there. You can steal order more meals at once and store them.
Thanks for sharing that. That was the info I needed. I'd rather avoid that cost.
I agree these prices are a little nuts to me, one trip to grocery store with about 40-60 dollars of fresh veggies, rice and protein (chicken, fish, less expensive cuts of meat) I can make about 3 weeks worth of food prep with portions twice the size of these. And I think that's the big thing is the portions of these seem way too small for over 12 bucks a pop.
Thank you for the review. I wanted to know how Factor was.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. It really helped me decide whether or not I would choose Factor. Very much appreciate your thoughts and your great video.
Your review has made me try- it was such an honest review- thank you 🙏🏽
I have such a busy schedule and hate cooking. I was thinking of trying Factor...love that this a real honest review
Great review. Just ordered my first box. Your voice is very soothing and love the honesty/detail.
Great review. This really helped a lot with deciding on whether to give it a go. Thanks!
Very good review, you’re honest and give a great explanation for the tastes of the meals, I appreciate it so much
Pro tip. Cancel every week then contact them asking for a coupon code and they will give you one every time
Oh THANK YOU!
Or don't be cheap and just pay for something that you use...
Haha if you like their product don't you want to support them so they can stay in business?
Yes! And if possible, when you are buying on a promotion, buy the 18 meal kit. You’ll save money using the promotion AND save money per meal because you’re getting more quantity. Just freeze the excess meals. I’m buying at about $8 per meal that way and they are delicious IMO
Or you can not be a cheap ass and actual pay for something you us.
Great presentation. Thank you. Has encouraged me to go try my first box. Thank you.
Good review. Regarding the price at regular rate of $87 per week, that equals $348 per month. And that’s only like 6 dinner a week, still need to make 1 meal by yourself weekly. I really cannot justify $348 per MONTH for just myself. $350-400 per month is what some people might pay for food for a family… not just by themselves.
Not to bad
Hella expensive and it’s not like any of these foods are super difficult to cook or find in stores
Well shoot after Bidens inflation extravaganza, it probably will cost that much
I would only try it with the discounts
You paid more for convenience. I’m doing a traveling job. They paid me like 400 a week for food. So someone in my situation it’s a great value.
Got my first (and last) shipment today. I live in Minnesota so not too hot here. I opened the box within 15 minutes of delivery and the ice packs were totally melted. The food temperatures were 53 degrees Fahrenheit at the coldest and up to 58 degrees Fahrenheit at the warmest. Not Factor’s fault but if I can’t depend on the meals arriving at a safe temperature here in Minnesota I just won’t risk it again. Customer service was helpful and issued a refund. I hope everyone else has better luck than I did.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thats horrible it was almost 90 degrees when mine was delivered on Wednesday it sat outside for over an hour before i noticed it arrived and everything was cold as ice still.
their meals are great; i use their Keto meal plan for my week-night dinners and have no complaints. Helps my blood sugar readings on track. Got their Valentine's Day special combo and it was delish. Love their shrimp alfredo, the chicken and pork meals are always flavorful - not overly spicy or seasoned but I'm used to my stuff being slightly more bland.
Hello! Did you also lose weight eating these meals. I have a hard time losing weight when I cook my own meals.
I’m currently trying this to help with my blood sugar issues. It’s nice to hear someone mention that.
@@blackkeyenthusiast22 did it work
Great video, I wanted to find a review on factor and you were the first person I saw, glad I did! Love your cadence in speaking here as well, didn't expect to find someone new to sub to haha. But I agree with you on the price, it's just not worth it for the portion. If it was maybe 1.5 times the portion I'd be into it. And I'm someone who's basically retired, I have money sitting around but.... I still try and think long term and save money, I don't buy a ton of takeout and all that. I think I'm gonna look around more for other meal services because I also saw their menu changes a lot, and half of the options seemed like very unusual meal combinations. Like they're trying TOO hard to make these intricate sounding meal combos, you know? Anyway thanks again, great vid
Nice review, I like them since I work a lot and the convenience makes it worth the price... until the delivery is delayed for whatever reason; twice now I've had delays mean I had to throw the food. They credit me on the next order but suddenly having to scramble to figure out a week of lunches is such a hassle.
Honestly I just received mines and I just ate one of many mines it's Monterey Jack chicken with spinach and coleslaw I believe it was on the side but it was really good I'm so full I can't even move keto so I purchase for eight days meal had really great discount and I put a hold on my next order just to see if I like them all but I think I'm going to like it's easy access when you get off of work you don't have to cook you don't have to clean up and it's there for you think about the times that you paid going out to dinner it's about the same but you have food for to freeze 🥶 for the next day or refrigerate rest when ready so thank you for you're honest review
Holy run-on sentence
Thank you for the great review! You answered all my questions and it wasn't too long so I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the great review ~video! Really appreciate hearing all your thoughts on things. Just received my first box of Factor meals today and they look pretty good ... looking forward to dinner tonight 😋
Thank You Jeremy for the great review. How many ounces are the dinner entrees? Thanks.
Your review helped me so much, thank you for posting!
Thanks for the review. I'm waiting on my first box now and it seems like a decent value for the discounted price. My intention is to use the meals for lunches when I work, to save prep time. I like lighter meals at lunch and I hate cooking. I also like more variety than meal prepping the same lunches multiple times a week. It's hard to cook for one person without a lot of left overs to deal with. So we'll see if the convenience makes the full price worth it for me.

@@CompoundGovernance eh... in the end, I never got past the first free box. Everything was mediocre at best. Total waste of money.
really good review, helps me a lot, thank you for the effort!
Very good review of the meals! Thank you!
Hiya Jeremy! Hope you are well. Wishing you all the best.
Great meals amd they taste amazing. It's a little pricey but its better then all the prepping and all that
Good to hear from a man of color how these really are😊😊😊❤❤❤❤thanks loved your presentation of the meals😊😊😊😊😊Appreciate the honesty about the price😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I enjoyed your review. You did a nice job at explaining things.
Ty for the review. Might be different food but still the same TV type frozen dinners.
Very thorough review. Thank you.
Thank you for the review, it really helped!!
we been using freshly for about a year, they are ending the service so i just signed up for this, you are making me soooo hungrey lol thanks 4 review !
Thank you, this was so helpful. Great review.
Was taught how to cook from a very young age. Island vibes with spices. Will go out on a limb and try this for lazy days. Thanks 🤓
Thank you for the review! - I have that same Fork with the White Plastic handle :) I can feed a family of 5 for $20 so I agree saving $$ is the way to go!
Kind of destroys any value-proposition when each meal costs as much as ordering out and is reheated by design.
This was a very honest review. Great job! I had to decide against the box because it was just simply too expensive.
There's not as much food for the in the container for what you have you have to pay for. Tv dinners are more food and only 3.50. I think I'm gonna drop out. Good luck 🍀👍🏼 😊
You are awesome, thank you for this review!!
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
Found your post interesting to watch. I can't wait to see your new videos soon. Good Luck with the upcoming update. This UA-cam channel is really very informative and effective.
Very informative! Thank you!
Keto eating is so expensive, but being able to find good keto meals every week is hard! This plan with clean eating... worth it!
I just signed up for the Keto "friendly" meals. I went shopping for keto friendly foods and they aren't cheap. If you can find them. $1.60 for regular spaghetti sauce turns into $5.00 not to mention the same for the keto pasta and on and on.. So when you look at the per meal prices you should FACTOR that in (pun unintended). I think this is a great deal considering 12 to 15 bucks these days is mostly fast food country. I can't go there anymore and expect stay healthy.
Check the ingredients when you choose the meal, most of the "Keto" meals has more than enough sugar to take you off Ketosis.
I wanted to update my first post. I feel the need to caution people with my experience. After around 7 months out of 9, in my subscription to the weekly delivery, the shipping and delivery has been plagued by problems. Some boxes never show up (that's a weeks' worth of dinners) and some have been shorted meals due to ingredient shortages. They have a good customer service department and are responsive with refunds and discounts but that's not why I joined. I think they are growing faster than they can handle. The meals are exceptionally good but as of this post, they have become undependable. I hope they can overcome these issues before they lose customers and fade into memory because it is a good service when they are firing on all cylinders. Ironically, I live in a city with a huge Factor assembly facility (where they make these meals).
Thank you so much I am glad I canceled my order before I even got it
Thank you for this informative review! Just ordered for my aging parents so they won't have to cook so often. I think the convenience is a huge element to factor into the price. Yes you can go to the grocery store to make your own meals for less but will you? Most likely not. $14 per meal doesn't sound too bad considering the delivery and convenience of having the meal prepared. Fast food and take out can be even more costly but I will soon see. Thanks again!
I'm figuring in the wasted produce in the fridge, the food prep, cooking, and standing at the sink washing dishes - not to mention the number of times I opt for fast food. Win-win for me!
Can you please update us on your experience with this company for your parents? I have an aging aunt who broke her foot and is having trouble preparing meals for herself and am seriously considering this company. Would love to know your experience with the quality of the food and ongoing prices if you continued using the service?
Great honest review
Excellent review. Thank you .
Great review. Very informative.
Too expensive for me. I would have to double this for me and my wife so that would be like $700 a month and this is only 6 meals. Way to expensive for what you get. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the consumer's insight.
Once I signed up for the account, there was a bug on the website which locked in the first delivery box and I had no way to make any changes. I called the customer service and explained that I would be out of town when they delivered the box. They responded “you should have called 1 day earlier”. Despite there were still 6 days until the delivery, Factor_ refused to make any change or refund. They still intended to deliver the food while I was away after knowing the food was going to be wasted. This is like asking customers to pay for their website bugs. The way how they treated their good and customer was really disappointing.
Shouldn’t have been buzzed trying order some food plan 😂
@@daviddelacruz7496now wonder your single
I will pass now...customer service is key!! Ty for your review
Thank you for your assessment much appreciated
Seems really expensive for a tiny amount of food. Thank you so much for your video!
They give adequate portions
@@Daniyoyo no they dont not for an average guy and the price is way to high
@@casewhite5048 the average guy in the united states over eat . The average guy over 40 has high blood pressure , high cholesterol . Do we really want talk about the average guy ?
@@Daniyoyo I am 39 not 40 until aug Even at a 2000 calorie diet it doesn't meet any daily caloric standard even if you eat 3 a day at the most 1800 calories and if you purchase the 18 meal plan from factor and get 120 dollar's off which is being offered now through other offers on yt. It was still 115 usd total. That would only be 6 days covered I would still have to cook the 7th day and this doesn't include snacks drinks or anything else I might want throughout the day. So 445 dollars for almost 1 month is insane and that's with the discount at best it looks like 12 ounces a meal (from the package in the video) not sure if that's the meal and package or just the meal either way I eat 1lb to 1.5 lb per meal usually. Also for reference a 12 inch club sub sandwich from subway is just over 18 ounces 514 grams so a little over a pound far better deal then these half prepared meals of which I would need 2 to feel close to full. Maybe this works for women but for the average guy its under what is needed. As women usually need less calories per day unless training as an athlete
@@casewhite5048 It meets the standards of you have a drink or two. Calories aren't just in food
Thanks for sharing
I appreciate this review
Im going to make this my main meals getting the 18 per week 3 each day of high protein and low carbs and i just want to know how long it will take for the first box
Instead of keeping them in your fridge, can you freeze them?
Do they come frozen?
I am giving Factor a try. My first order comes on the 26th and can't wait. I am mainly doing this to improve what I eat for lunch. I usually eat store bought pre made burritos and cold cuts and I am trying to get away from that.
Great review!
Good review... Just my opinion... Cheaper to get the meals out the grocery store. Portions are about the same. If you basically eat the same thing all the time... Vacuum seal them and they will last the same
How filling is it? I’ve had certain foods where I get extremely hungry again after about 4 hours and then I’ve had certain foods where I eat a small amount and I’m not hungry for like an entire day.
Thank you for this review! I was trying to get a look at the ingredients on line but they won’t tell you unless you sign up first 😞 Are they high in sodium?
About 700-900 mg of sodium per meal on average. Pretty high. If you are on a low sodium diet, I wouldn’t eat more than one a day.
Sounds like good honest reviews. I can make 3 pr 4 home meals for 14 bucks though and i have the time too cook
I'm surprised they said you can put it in the oven when it's not in oven safe material. I always microwave it and I wouldn't have it any other way
did you microwave or did you oven heat it?
it appears that you used microwave? and i think this would matter quite a bit.
thank you for the honest review.
I liked your video, Great job, I just started getting factor/ I'm not over weight/ I don't like cooking/ I don't eat alot at night, so your video really helped, it's like you said, if you can swing it. Nice work on your end.
I add a little salt pepper and butter as needed
I’m waiting for a Black and Latino company, so i get some real tasty food 😮😂😂😂
Racist
Doing Home Chef instead. Better tasting food and bit more expensive but doesn't look like a microwave dinner. Purchase 3 meals for 2 just for myself. They get me through the week along with the leftovers able to get 5 to 6 days of decent tasting food. But like I mention you got to pick kind of frugal because all these Food Deliveries can become pricey after the promo's and coupon codes are used up.
Mix the cheesy corn in with that ground beef! It might make all the difference.
Everything about this service is awesome, but as expensive as it is, the portions should be a bit larger. Sometimes I get a meal and it literally looks like it's a lunch, not a dinner.
The food is more satiating since it is healthy, I will give it that, but portions still seem stingy for an average size adult.
Had an account for many months because of a busy work schedule. Choose the Keto meals.. The meals were a great size and very very good.
This review is great. I just placed my first order and two of the meals he tried I ordered. I’m watching this days after my order. (I was mad at HelloFresh for multiple reasons and on a whim decided to try this. It just dawned on me to check out reviews). My first meals come in a couple of days so I’m excited to try.
Same here, canceled my hellofresh and went looking for another service when I saw this. Won't get my first delivery til dec 20 but I'm really excited to not have to cook. I've been bored with my cooking or don't have the time... been door dashing which is expensive and not good food. I'm hoping this is quality food with no prep that is good and it'll be a win for me.
"Hello Fresh" owns this company, just so you know!
@@karend5880 "Hello Fresh" owns this company, just so you know.
Tried signing up but it wouldn't let me get passed registration because there is a glitch on adding the state
Thank you for the review. It helped me make up my mind about ordering. It's a pass. Didn't look very appetizing and definitely too pricey.
Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I’m thinking about trying factor. Not sure if I want to commit to the price.
Thanks for this review. I wish you showed the label for each one showing how many fat was in each dish
How is the salt content in them? You mentioned a few were somewhat bland or not seasoned so I'm curious if this is one food service that finally doesn't overload their meals with salt to preserve the flavor. Just about every meal service I've looked at has insanely high salt content that pretty much negates the health value. I think these services are kind of nice if you are constantly on the go, but I also think it's a lot cheaper to just buy your own ingredients and cook at home. Only issue is right now with inflation grocery prices are through the roof.
I have the same question. The meals look good but I can't eat high doses of salt.
I've been looking too, and I have to agree that salt content is high in most of these "healthy" meals from the couple of services I have checked out. As far as taste goes everybody has different tastes so by adding your own seasoning will turn the bland meal into one good meal for you. A lot of these meals looks so much better and appetizing if you take the few seconds to put it on a plate. Eating from a plastic container usually turns me off - ugh.
We have been eating Factor meals and I am actually concerned about the sodium being so high.
I'm in the UK and that seems so insanely expensive! Wow!
My cousin lives there and this seems kinda tame from what she says lol
I mean the USA is expensive which is likely where they are based
Thanx Brodie 👌🏾
Great review, thank you
Factor is the best thing I’ve ever done for my household. Everyone is eating well.
Ill take under instead of over seasoned since we can add more.
Great review. Although, it might have been safer to eat the shrimp on the first or second day.
The reason the "grits" was in quotations was because they were made from chopped cauliflower and weren't grits with red pepper and cauliflower in them i thought id mention it since you mentioned the grits in quotations in the video
I think the takeaway here is that people can generally eat what they want just eat less.
Just ordered the Keto meals today.
Great review.
Thanks so much for making this video sir
Lol 😂 season the veggies 🤣 love it
Great review
Great video 🤘🏼
It makes lunch during the work week easier. One of these and a sandwich are about what I eat during the week. I'm not good at cooking for 1.
I'm saving for retirement at $14/ meal x 3 meals per day = $42/day. X 30 days per month = $1260 / month .
that around $15,120 / year. x 10 years $151, 200. I could never retire at that rate. thanks
This review is top notch! I'd need to eat two of those meals to satisfy me.
That's kinda the point tho! You don't eat to be satisfied, you feed your body for maintenance. This portion is what your body and mind would need to function. You have to train yourself to eat less portions, but you can eat healthy good tasting snacks in between to keep yourself energized!
Unintentional ASMR! My brain is in a jacuzzi of dopamine.
Glad I could help!
