I eat 2 meals a day and feel great. Way better than carb filled meals
Agreed! I do 1-2 meals a day as well!
Wow how is this even possible for me ! I eat two a day eat fruits and vegetables if I wanna snack and I have been feeling good lol I’m usually in and out the ER which they claim they never see anything I’m a African American woman use to always feel hungry after eating or to damn bloated now that I been eating twice even once a day I been feeling amazing very damn pricey to get a months worth but in my eyes it seems worth it so far 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽
Great video. Amazingly suprised by the quality
Surprised by food quality or video quality 😅 Either way, thank you!
Great Video. I have never had an issue with my delivery where I live. I did not do it as much as you did though. The food is great and the flavors I have no complaints about. I do agree with you sometimes I want to eat more food afterwards but the serving size is great we just want to eat more even though we don’t need to.
I’ve tried HelloFresh, every plate, home chef, and Factor. You definitely outlined all pros and cons.
🤘🏽😎😁
Thanks for watching! Lucky that you haven't had any issues with deliveries and hope it stays that way! Glad to know someone else agrees with my view on the serving size 👍
Out of HelloFresh, every plate, home chef, and Factor, which do you prefer?
This is the best Factor 75 review I have seen so far, it had many layers to it!
Wow thank you so much! That means alot! I need to make another update
@@HDBnB1 Yes, I would love to see that!
Love the seek discomfort towel in the back 😍
Love the fact that you know who they are 🙏
Great info. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Glad it could be of value to you
I've been doing them for two weeks now; 14 meals a week. I've loved almost all of what I have received; those I didn't it was a personal taste thing for me. All the meat I've received in my meals has tasted so fresh and so tender. The green beans and carrots and other vegetables have tasted so fresh (I'm used to frozen). I've been eating the Calorie Smart meals with a couple of Keto thrown in. I use myfitnesspal to track my nutritional intake and I don't usually go over my sodium number. Haven't had a problem yet with delivery. I really like this food and since I'm hypoglycemic and frequently too focused on something else so I don't realize when I need to eat, being able to cook something in 2 minutes to eat is a Godsend.
That’s really cool to hear! Wish you were local so I could get your reaction to eating it in real life 😅😂
Do you know what the reward is for 4/6/8 meals ordered on the app?
Reward as in discount?
@@HDBnB1 On the app they have a "reward" for 4/6/8 meals ordered. I'm not sure if it's a discount or a free gift or free add on or what it is. I know that they will often give discounts for canceling your service and renewing it. I'm wondering if the reward for ordering 4 in a row will be equivalent to that.
Hmmm I’m not sure. I only ever order the 4 meal plan and then the drinks as add ons
K great presentation enjoyed your honesty. That’s what’s up cause I always get crummy packages and I have a mail room.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for actually showing the drinks! I've had my fair share with delivery services but primarily ontrac who is usually hired through the 3rd parties. I used to do home chef a lot and my meals were getting delivered at like 1am and they'd say it was delivered at 9pm. If you're having issues the 3rd party is most likely using ontrac. Fabletics uses them now and I know to wait up until 1am for my stuff so it's not sitting outside.
Oh wow! Interesting. Yea they were using Axelhire for me and it's a 50/50 if it'll go well or not. I really do love the drinks. A little pricey but I guess not that much more if you went to a Whole Foods
@@HDBnB1 I’m so glad you reviewed the drinks, I’m really interested in the smoothies, but though they were a bit pricey. Since it’s my first box and it’s half off, I’ll spend the half off price on the smoothies.
Gladiator was able to help! Yea the drinks are awesome. About to test out their key lime protein shakes in my next box!
Thanks for this! I really have to think whether I want to do this now due to the sodium content.
Happy I could help out! Yea sodium can get high but I still feel pretty good after eating the meals. Still doing it to this day
I've seen a couple of reviews that say Fresh 'N Lean has a lower sodium count in comparison to Factor.
Legendary vid, but a legendary man!
Oh stop you’re too kind 😇
I have yet to try the juices or the smoothies or the juice shots
I just signed up with this company and found out that they’re owned and operated by hello Fresh. Hello Fresh has great customer service and has always compensated me for the incompetency of the deliver service which in NYC is laser ship. Most times they deliver to my door like they’re supposed to, but a lot of times they leave it in the lobby of my building, and a few of my packages have been opened by other people. Like I said they’ve always compensated my right away without question. So I already know I’ll probably have this same issue with factor.
Yea factor has been great with handling any issues. Good customer service on that end!
Nice review thanks. TU!!!!!
Ayyy always cool to meet a fellow owl 🦉
There using fedex in my area. PA. Works great for a single guy who works a busy job as a UPS driver and has to many hobbies to cook all the time.
Nice! Which part of pa are you in?
@@HDBnB1 Lancaster close to philly
@simonmorris2029 yup yup very familiar. Getting bored of the Amish food? 😂
@@HDBnB1 haha, well the Amish can cook. I also can cook and enjoy so when I have time. Trying to find the best meal service that’s just right is tough. Have a great day! I’ll throw a follow.
I would love for folks to compare sodium levels across everything . Home cooked meals, other services etc. Hard to tell in a vacuum if factor is an outlier
After learning more shoot the importance of sodium I actually don’t think it’s bad for you in moderation and depending on your lifestyle
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting as well as the OMAD diet, which is one meal a day and it was hard doing this diet and training my body and I had to increase with a multivitamin calcium as well as a egg collagen/vegan protein powder drink for breakfast, but I have my one Factor 75 meal no later than 4 o’clock and I don’t eat anything else for the rest of the day doing this and going to the gym. I have brought my A1c levels down, and I have brought my diabetes in remission, what I mean by that is I am no longer a type two diabetic I am prediabetic I have been took off of my medication. I have lost weight a lot which gave me enough energy to start going to the gym. I am now going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. I am losing weight getting healthy and the meals are delicious. I don’t purchase a meal from factor on a weekly basis lol I skipped meals but that’s because I order the max amount which is 28 meals and then maybe the other three or four days of the month I cook and with those 28 factor meals I eat one of those meals a day with a protein smoothie in the morning for breakfast I love it and I’ve never had any type of surgery as far as Gastric bypass surgery but when I decided that I was going to go on this health journey and eat less than 800 cal I said damn people who get their stomach cut in half after having gastric bypass surgery they have to take multivitamins because they don’t get enough nutrition although me eating my one meal and my healthy smoothie is enough nutrition. I was scared since I wasn’t eating that many calories since I decided to start doing the one meal a day, so I started taking vitamins to counteract if I was doing something wrong even though I was not, I have took a step back on the vitamins. My body is getting used to this routine and my body is burning calories due to the inner minute fasting of just having the one meal a day and having it at a set time, I am so proud of my success. The factor 75 meals are good lol the only issue is I have to eat them in private because when I do finally eat one I look crazy as if I hadn’t ate in many days I don’t know is it that good or is it because I only have one bill a day but ever since my first taste, I’ve never gone back don’t get me wrong I do have a snack but you can’t really count a fruit salad mixed up with leafy greens and nuts and meal. I literally just have one meal a day and that’s the Factor 75 outside of my healthy smoothie for breakfast and my snack at six but factor is that shit like I think it’s worth it it’s really I like it. Incredible. It has changed my life. 316 mg of the health nutrition expert but the sodium is a concern definitely it’s not good at all
Super cool! Glad you enjoy the meals too!
I was debating on ordering it especially with people complaining about the cost but health and quickness is important. Def trying to not spend all Sunday meal prepping it’s not cheap but I think I’d rather spend the money on healthy then drive thru or ordering. The sodium is concerning. Your video was so helpful ❤
Really glad it helped you out! Making an update video on it soon so keep an eye out for that!
I eat 2-3 meals a day and feel great as well!
Love to hear it!
That's funny you're in the Phila area, I'm looking into trying factor and was wondering who they use to deliver to me (40 out of Phila) so I'd probably have axel hire too. Fingers crossed they could find my house 😂
Apparently depending on your zip it might be different! Let me know how you like it!
Great review. Have you tried any other meals?
I get the vegan and salmon meals!
I'm sorry but I love msg and I stay energetic and in shape ever since I started eating what I want! I just eat in small portions and it works for me! If you feel sluggish after you eat it's because of how your body metabolize the food you eat meaning certain foods may not work well with your body type.
That’s good to know and makes so much sense!
Seems like they listened as far as the pescatarian options go. They have a ton of fish options on there now with usually at least 3 different seafood dishes per week to choose from.
I’ve noticed! I usually go for Baja salmon, pesto salmon and sometimes the shrimp! Not a fan when they do Parmesan shrimp though
I know that reviewers talk about meal size with these companies. My expectation would be to supplement with fresh fruit or other nutritious items. Additional filler plus actual fiber that the body also needs.
Yea I always add someone on the side. It definitely helps! Fruit would be great too
i have to try this, i spend half my days cooking AND cleaning, what a mess!
It’s definitely saved a bunch of time! I still use them today! New video coming soon
I just got my first box and I had the chicken and Monterey cheese with riced cauliflower and it was way better than I thought it was going to be. The portions looked small to me too but after eating I was full but not stuffed like a normal eat out meal. The sodium compared to eating out has to be way lower but that’s a guess. After work yesterday I turned the oven on to 375 and then showered came back and threw my dinner in for 9 minutes and then ate. I get it takes longer but it was still faster than cooking or eating out plus no meal prep I’m not a fan and have been looking for a service just like this for myself and for my Parents who are homebound due to health issues. As of now my brother and I take them breakfast and dinner and it’s always fast food so I am hoping I can switch them over to factor. It’s way cheaper to order these pre made meals from Factor than it is eating out twice a day for two people. My brother and I probably spend 50-60 a day on take out. One last thing my order was FedExd to my house so maybe they’ve changed delivery services? Idk maybe it’s different in different cities I am in Kansas City. Thanks for the video!
Great to hear your experience! Yea I think the delivery service is dependent on where you live.
I know the meals say they will stay good for 7 days. Could I order 2 weeks worth of meals and freeze the second weeks meals to allow them to last longer?
You probably could. I know I’ve eaten them past expiration before and haven’t had any issues
I've had major delivery issues in IL. they use DHL. Love the food tho!!
Sorry to hear that! After I moved to a new apartment building the deliveries have been great!
i was doing factor last year for a while, then decided to try other stuff because of the sodium, now after hello fresh, everyplate, daily harvest and hungryroot, I'm back at factor. Believe it or not, many of the other food services, even though your making the meal, they are also very high in sodium. If you don't like the microwave, you can put it in the oven.
Glad to hear you like factor over the other ones!
The sodium realllly hits you hard if you eat 2-3 meals per day. I had intense cravings for sugar as an antidote.
I think I had that same antidote 😅
Mines is fedex and had no issues so far . 😊
Glad to hear it!
sodium is fine drink plenty of fluids and stay active its not an issue also msg is not bad
I agree! Started taking electrolytes and loving them!
The factor meals use plastic type 1 containers to store meals and told us to microwave it. But plastic 1 is known not safe for microwave. Now I have to change plates myself which I prefer not to. Can someone help educate me whether they are actually safe to microwave or not? Tried to contact factor customer care, but they just kept emphasizing it is eco friendly plastic and didn’t answer my question directly.
I think everything in moderation is safe. She didn’t factor meals every now and again I don’t think it’ll kill you from the expose plastic. However, you eat this meal every single day three times a day for quite a while then maybe it won’t be the healthiest for you
Factor is great. The only thing is, after eating it for three months or so the meals eventually start to get repetitive. And the juices you got are fairly expensive addons to each meal. And unless you LOVE healthy food, you better be ready to ingest a lot of heathy quinoa, and mashed cauliflower that simulates mashed potatoes, and grey pasty stuff over many long green string beans provided as a side salad. After a while my body literally refused to eat any more string beans. I couldn't even touch the package with beans anymore! I recommend just going to the supermarket.
I can see this happening when all of your meals consist of these. I like to do one of these meals a day then take 2-3 weeks off
Well luckily for me I eat the same crap all the time 😅only eggs and rice and beans so having factor being repetitive isn’t an issue
@jogon2433 you’ll be fine with this!
Do they reshipped u meal every week or u have to buy another week
Once you setup your account it’s a subscription so every week
Im starting a new job working 12 hr shifts. 2 days on 3 off and vise vera.. so i orerdered 10 meals to have and to take with me on the days i work. I also need to be eating 1200 cal a day to loose weight. Do you suggest this company or should i go with another company?
I personally like eating from this company because of the ease of use and time saved. The food also tastes good once you find which meals are your favorite. If time is a big component for you then I think this option makes sense since it is only 2 minutes to prepare. I would take a look at the nutritional content in each meal and determine for yourself if it’s right for you. But trying it out to see if you like how it tastes is a good first step
My Husband and I eat 3 meals each per week, mainly due to the cost factor. The meals are delicious! The ONE thing this young man left out is that you CAN heat your meal in your oven. A filet mignon meal (trying to think of the densest protein, the filet) only takes 7 minutes to heat in the oven. So, we can take advantage of all the vitamins and nutrients for an extra 5 minutes! What complete meal, prepared by a chef, including ALL the sauces and seasonings can you prepare and cook in 7 minutes and still maintain all the vitamins and nutrients? We love our Factor meals! They are delicious and Factor provides so many categories of food to choose from. We were spending MUCH more money eating out, not at McDonalds, Burger King or Taco Bell crap, our meals for dinner. Sometimes I can’t even eat the whole meal, because I pay attention to how my stomach feels as I eat. As long as the ingredients are safe for a dog, I’ll give the remainder of my meal to our Labrador. She eats healthy food too, by The Farmers Dog! Just as with human nutrition if you eat healthily there are only annual Vet visits. We’ve shared our experience eating Factor meals with friends and many have chosen to try Factor and love it! Try Factor, you’ll be glad you did!
Glad you are also enjoying your meals! Never thought about using the oven since I love the 2 minute microwave ready factor but glad it works for you!
800-900mg of sodium really isn't a big deal. I mean, isn't this meal supposed to be about 1/3 your cals? sodium isn't unhealthy.
Good to know! Thanks for the clarification
Feel good eating 2 a day! I have been performing better in the gym after eating these meals.
Love to hear it!
Sodium doesn't really matter unless you have high blood pressure
That’s good to know!
But I do like the fact that I don’t feel sluggish. After the fact, I don’t like the sensation of being full I’ve never like the sensation of being full I like to eat and feel satisfied content I don’t like to eat and before and I’m comfortable and tired and lack of energy are overwhelmed And those are things that happen when you eat a lot or over eat or if you’re full, you feel tired, you feel sleepy you don’t have energy you don’t feel nutrients you feel like you made a bad decision, but when I eat factor meals I don’t feel overwhelmed overly tired and uncomfortable. You know I don’t know if that makes sense I like the fact that I’m able to eat and feel satisfied and steal able to do what I need to do without feeling like I need to take a nap whenever I would eat something I would just feel overly tired and uncomfortable and I blamed it on hot sauce. Can you believe how crazy that is not being able to eat spicy foods and that’s why I am so out of breath and so tired. No, I put hot sauce on the factors meals. I still add peppers and spicy things the meals but I don’t even have to put anything to Jazz the meals up what I’m saying. Factor 75 is good by itself and I realized it wasn’t the hot sauce in the spicy foods. It was just the unhealthy shit that I was eating basically I am not a nutritionist. I am not a doctor and I don’t recommend anybody to go to the extreme that I have gone but it helps me like it really helps like it has changed everything they do need to give people the option if they don’t want any soccer on their food or any added sugar, but other than that, I love factor it’s pretty dope.
I’m a african American woman and I can say this site has delicious food no type of seasoning problems which I’m not to big on seasoning especially if I want to eat better but factor is the truth! The feeling when you’re full but not tired and have all kind of energy! That’s been me I use to hate being full because then I couldn’t move which made me even more sleepy which I’m sure was one of the main reasons I had reflux ged problems but now on my 7th meal and I feel so good after eating i literally turned down my boyfriend I request for Taco Bell 😂 he was shocked but I told him I ate a factor mean a hour or two ago and yes surprisingly I wasn’t interested in eating that mess (trying to get him to fully come to this side he will eat healthy things but still will pizza and tacos 😂) but feeling better food tasting great and still having my energy all day because I ate fruits n veggies when I wanna snack factor meal at 5 or 6 no dinners after that time and I can say I already prepared my next 32 meals juices smoothies cheesecake from factor on top of me still having meals here to hold me off until then 😀😀😀😀😀
Do they have spaghetti and meatballs?
Not sure but if you try it out you can see their options online!
@@HDBnB1 thinking about trying it out
Try it out and Kerr me know how you like it!
@@HDBnB1 well do
This week I received my order double boxed (by FedEx due to an "unreadable barcode") and one of the meals got busted open so I threw it in the trash. If this happens again, I’ll be cancelling. 😒
Definitely reach out to them! Their customer service is very good and will most likely refund you
Mine are delivered by Fedex and had no issues.
Same
Glad to hear some people have had good experiences!
Good to know!
Got my first 📦 unfortunately no matter what company you order from it's going to have a lot of sodium. If anyone knows differently please let me know.
Guess it all depends on if you feel good after eating the food
Drink more water. Sodium is not bad for you
But what’s the prices !
If you check out my link it’ll show you the different prices for different plans. In my last video I also listed the prices of I didn’t in this one
You think keto isnt supposed to have sugar in it??? Ugh i love your ignorance. Im completely in awe
Thank you (:
Pretty easy to see how they do it, by looking at the ingredients and the nutrition label
Yup
Talking about no msg!!!
AxleHire is the worst! They are lazy . But Factors Customer Service is phenomenal.
That sums it all up perfectly
I'm not a vegetarian I do like vegetables but with meat!!! To bad you didn't go over every meal to order you just talk about what you like and didn't go over other meals others might like
Planning on going over some where people try out the meat meals!
This is a big No for someone thats trying to bulk up its close to $200 weekly
Good to know for anyone looking to bulk!
it's a no for you because of the price?
Hydrate first before eating is an easy fix from feeling not full.
Yes
There is a massive long time fallacy about sodium. Step away from mainstream
Yeah, the anti salt fears are completely unfounded (except for those who have kidney problems). We simply urinate excess salt. Koreans consume massive amounts of salt (kimchi often consumed with every meal), and they have very low rates of heart issues (one of the lowest). We as humans also used to consume way more salt as that's how everything was preserved (in salt). Sodium is a vital nutrient.
So true! I’ve learned recently how important salt and sodium is for you when sweating in high amounts.
Nothing concentrate in there but you have "simply lemonade" in your fridge. My man, holy moly
Yes!
sodium is not bad for you....myth
Agreed!
Yeah, humans can safely consume massive amounts of salt providing your kidneys are normal (don't drink bottle of soy sauce of course). Salt is an important electrolyte and also does a bunch of other things in the body. Sodium intake was correlated with heart disease (Koreans consume high levels of salt aka kimchi, also have one of the lowest rates of heart disease) or something generations ago and dietary guidelines were made from that that still stick around in people's minds.
😂
Thanks for watching!
Definitely not a health expert nutritionist. The diet you're following is a big factor upon your sodium intake. You said one meal was 37% of daily value for sodium, so that's means if you're eating 3 meals a day of factor, then you're 11% over the %DV...which honestly shouldn't even be followed. Get regular blood work done if you're truly worried about your nutrition intake and whatnot. Listen to your body if you can't afford regular blood work and overall stay hydrated. The main electrolyte is sodium, which helps retain water, meaning you stay more hydrated. Look at actual hydration drinks and powders, not Powerade or Gatorade, they have sodium, potassium, chlorine, magnesium and calcium. Every body is different and you should listen to yourself at the end of the day. 37% sodium for one meal at 500-700 calories is not a problem. A single double cheeseburger from McDonald's has 49% the %DV for sodium at 1120 mg. That's just one. And it has 450 calories. Way too many carbs and fat together to even count. Worry about the actual diet, not salt please. If you work out, you lose electrolytes, aka sodium, aka salt. So there's nothing wrong with replenishing those.
Yes
You say in the video that you don't think you can heat them in the oven. Pause your video at 32 seconds and read the packaging. This is the same on every meal. Guess you're like the stereotypical male and don't read instructions LOL
Guilty 😊
This has a lot of sodium and is terrible for you.
There is quite a bit of sodium in there!
Ok...........lol
Avoiding sodium is a myth. You do need it. Just eat potassium and drink water, have a balanced diet. 3 of these meals (based on the 31% shown in the video) gives you just about 1 day worth of sodium which makes sense.
FACTOR IS A TOTAL SCAM!!! I signed up for the service, followed the prompts, and 10 minutes later decided to cancel the service. They charged me $60 regardless of the cancellation saying that I had "missed the cut-off." Apparently I got interested, and signed into their service all within the last 10 minutes to spare. Seem outrageously convenient for them? It is. They refuse to give my money back and are wasting the first box of food by shipping it to my home even though I won't be home. This company cares more about stealing your wallet than providing an up-front and honest experience. No reason I should be charged. No reason my$60 shouldn't be coming back to me for a cancelled service. You mean to tell me March 30th within 10 minutes of scrolling isn't enough time to keep them from charging me for June 6th? Come on guys. This is a scam and they'll be out of business soon.
So sorry to hear that issue! Hope it gets resolved!
@@HDBnB1 It wasn't. But please continue telling everyone this is an excellent service! After talking to 3 different customer service agents about how I never wanted the service the only response I got was, "Tough luck. We charged you!" I would stop making videos about this sham of a company asap.
@@user-ir5zt5go4j Sorry about your experience but mines been pretty good!
Of course, fresh food which is immediately cooked via stove or oven, delivers the best most nutritious food for people. Food that has been cooked, frozen and shipped is not as good, but Factor stuff is probably infinitely better than your last Taco Bell run or DoorDash order! ;-) Also, there is nothing unhealthy about microwaves. ua-cam.com/video/HnI4aLsbzlI/v-deo.html
Couldn’t agree more!
