Fun fact, your food should be on the outer perimiter of the microwave plate to ensure even cooking. The middle doesnt get heated in the microwave. So if you put food in the dead center of the microwave, its not going to cook evenly. Hope this helps someone, cuz it definitely was a game changer for me
My mom said id never learn anything watching yt videos.... well i learned this seems to be over priced and that if I REALLY want to learn something, to scroll through yt vid comments. Big Brain here sheesh
The wattage of the microwave that you use plays a big part in how long it takes for your food to warm up which they should have mentioned on the warming instructions because not all microwaves are the same
No lie my microwave sucks for sure 😩 However I think the timing is just off in general because even when I followed the oven temp and directions, it wasn't warmed up enough. I appreciate you watching💕
I tried factor this week. I think it makes sense if you’re focused on portion control, eating a balanced meal, and tracking macros. It’s easier to plug these numbers into MyFitnessPal than when cooking from scratch. The meals I’ve had are good enough for me to want to eat the whole meal but not as good as home cooked necessarily. However I do think they are way better than frozen dinners for sure. Just my 2 cents!
I totally agree, Factor is not perfect and I definitely prefer the taste of home cooked meals. After i've had them more than 2 weeks, I tire of the taste tbh but they ARE better than frozen dinners. I appreciate you watching💕
Thanks for giving an honest review and not bullschmidtting us. It's good to have someone advising caution unlike some other reviews of painting a really rosy picture.
I've been thinking about trying Factor since I'm heading into my busy season as a window cleaner. I'm pretty exhausted by the end of the day, although I like to cook my own meals, sometimes it just doesn't work out. Too often I'll resort to fast food, or a frozen pizza. Neither are very healthy, especially as I'm about to hit 50. Thank you for the honest review!
Currently, I don't get factor every week but when I anticipate being busier than usual, I'll get it for that busy time and it helps me a lot. Just started a new full-time job so I got Factor for the first couple weeks to make sure I can make healthier choices even when I don't have the energy to cook😊 You're very welcome! I appreciate you watching and I'm glad you found the video helpful💕
Thanks for your review! Hubby and I are working extra hours and need something that is tasty and quick. I cannot wait to try this and now I know which ones to choose from.
The heating issues relates to the wattage on your microwave. I have one oven that requires 5 minutes and the other 3 minutes, but 2 has never been enough because my fridge is always at the lowest temp.
My microwave is definitely not the best but I tried it in the oven for the time they said and it didn't heat up either😩 I do 3-3.5mins in the microwave now with no issues! I appreciate you watching💕
Thanks for your review! Very helpful. I got a 60% off coupon in the mail and I think I’m gonna check it out for 1 week (and then wait for more coupons before ordering again lol)
Glad it was helpful! I only order when I have coupons or discounts too😩 I don't like Factor every week but when I know my schedule is more full, it comes in handy! I appreciate you watching💕
Hey! U remind me if my daughters and just immediately looked genuine so, I stayed and watched all 10 min. I was correct! Thorough and honest. I might give then a shot now. Keep up the good work!🎉
That's actually crazy that the food didn't heat up after 2-3 minutes in the microwave. I am the same way, steak over chicken but that creamy mushroom chicken meal does sound like something you can recreate. But the price honestly isn't so bad for someone who needs quick meals on the go.
I feel like I was mostly just annoyed i had to keep putting it back in! If the packaging said 4 mins then that's fine but to have to check it EVERY TIME and put it back got on my nerves😩 I appreciate you watching💕
Thank you sm for the honest review! Usually I wouldn’t think microwave time and exact nutrient facts are a big deal but it’s tough to market yourself as a diet-geared meal kit with minimal effort and mess those two things up. I get the regional ingredients change but it should change *that* significantly if recipes are followed.
I totally agree and I know for a fact my microwave is old but even the oven cook times didn't work for me. It's not bad but if you're in a crunch and only have a short lunch break, it gets more difficult. I appreciate you watching 💕
Great video! So I’ve been doing research on Factor and watched about 12 different opinions/experiences and only you had the microwave issue. Something to look into. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the review maybe the microwave heating instructions are for a 1000 watt microwave and you have a 750 watt however that doesn’t explain the oven time being off unless it was not pre heated properly.
My microwave is actually 900 watts but like you said, doesn't really explain the oven timing issues! I figured it out in the end, I appreciate you watching💕
Nice. Explained what you liked and why. Noted the sharable link they toss in to get you to do their advertising, and pointed it out. Didn't feel like you were reading from the same script the previous three reviews I'd seen seemed to have. Didn't "have the salmon, which is farmed and I'd prefer wild caught." Like it seems is the first meal everyone has... Just Nice.
Thanks for the video on your view point with Factor. Recently trying to lose weight, already ordered Huel and looking into possibly quick meals like Factor, even though I do enjoy cooking.
I made an order from another company and received a $200 coupon for Factor, so I came looking to see what's up with the service. This was the 3rd video I saw (with the first two seeming to be copy/paste copies of each other) thank you for an honest review and showing some of the other details the (seemingly scripted other videos) did not.
My man is considering getting this for the both of us since we both work full time and we both don’t like to cook. I been watching peoples reviews and doing research and I’m definitely telling him to get it.
I def recommend trying it and if you can do it at a discount! I really enjoy it when I'm busy because it just lightens my load but I don't have it every week. I appreciate you watching 💕
My job had gifted me a months worth of factor meals while I was on maternity leave. It was very convient for me to have because I was able to pop food in the microwave when caring for my little one for lunch during my husband's work hours. All the options I chose were pretty good and the portion sizes were good also. The only reason why I wouldn't do it again is because of the price. I'm a good cook and I'm already good at meal prepping. I can make all the food I chose for a more affordable price and it will be enough for my whole family. Other than that, it is a good time saver. If you eat out often but don't have any healthy restaurants around you, this would be a good option.
I agree, I only get it when I have a discount otherwise the price just doesn't make sense! The taste is okay but homemade cooking is def better and more afforadble.I appreciate you watching 💕
I was thinking about setting me up an account tonight. I work 2 jobs so I was thinking this may be what I need. Thx for the review. 🙂 very informative. Very professionally dun. Gr8 job 👍💯
If you read the bottom it states "Nutritional Info may vary slightly by time of delivery. that maybe the reason for number differences. Try a higher watt microwave Hamilton beach receive many bad reviews.
Maybe because I'm older but they all remind me of lean cuisine and such lol. I'm a 90s baby but remember they were a fad and 10 for $10 back then. I cook too much, but wanted to have maybe backup meals in case my hospital shifts went to OT. I'm glad you came through with unbiased
I totally get the lean cuisine reference! If factor was that cheap, I would get it more often tbh. It's not the BEST but I've had worst microwavable meals 😩 I appreciate you watching💕
Thanks for your review, it was very helpful. I’m still not sure I’m ready to take the plunge… I love to cook! But I go through very busy, tiring periods at work where I tend to eat garbage! So I’m tempted to try it during these times.
Glad it was helpful! I am the same way, when I am super busy and have tiring weeks a meal prep service is a saving grace 🙌🏾It's just so helpful in reducing my mental load around meal time. I appreciate you watching 💕
Hey!!! This review was very helpful!!!! I am only doing it for a week with a discount so I deactivated my account. But this looks right up my alley. I am also going to try Every Plate as it's a more budget friendly option
Glad it was helpful! Honestly, I only get factor when it's discounted because otherwise it just doesn't make sense financially. If you remember, can you let me know what your experience with every plate is like? Would love to give them a try😊 I appreciate you watching💕💕
I tried every plate but it’s not pre made meals like factor is. To me it was like getting half of your groceries delivered to your door bc there will be items you will still need to pick up from the store or already have in your pantry. It would probably be easier and cheaper if you were to get a recipe book vs getting every plate. Unless you need your groceries delivered !
I was thinking that too but the timing also seemed off when I used my oven per the instructions! Have you tried Factor before? I appreciate you watching💕
I tried signing up for one week. Apparently, this isn't an option. After a few minutes chatting with customer service, I realized they were just signing me up for a subscription. They claim that I could cancel at any time, but most services give you the run around when you try to cancel. The fact that they want some kind of commitment before you even get to taste their meals sounds dubious. I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and start preparing my own meals...damn.
It's not ideal but tbh, I've found them very easy to cancel and skip weeks! You can do it from the website without any phone calls but I agree, the subscription thing does come across predatory! I appreciate you watching💕
I hate cooking with a violent fiery passion. This is worth the money to me to NOT have to cook like 3-4 out of 5 week nights, and is definitely healthier than fast food or a traditional frozen meals.
I go through periods of time when cooking is fun and I enjoy it but other periods where being in the kitchen is such a chore 😩 These types of services are perfect for times like that 🙌🏾I appreciate you watching 💕
Very useful review. I was on the fence about ordering, but you're right, I don’t wanna compromise a healthy diet because I'm so busy and don't have time to cook.
Thank you! I really enjoyed your review. Some other reviews focus on calories. I don't care about calories because if the food is nasty, I won't be eating it.
I totally agree! I know a lot of fitness people are on the calorie counting kick but i just want food that's quick and taste good😩 I appreciate you watching💕
for me 2mins turns out perfect every time. Trying to avoid having my food swimming in plastic so I always dump it in a plate before heating up. For what it is, I like this food, much better than frozen dishes. It kinda goes against my principle of eating local organic food but this was a life saver when I injured my knee and couldn't leave the house for a month. Is it worth it without 20% discount or if you have time to shop in a store? prob not. But if you're pressed for time and want something that's better than frozen dishes, healthier than fast food and cheaper than ordering from a restaurant, then yea go for it.
Thanks for the advice! I've been doing 3 mins and it seems to work (most of the time)😄 It's definitely time for a new microwave though lol I appreciate you watching 💕
I subbed and thank you for saving me even the discounted box. My broke a was after the FILET for 2 for the six meals!!!!! Yall remember the days of being embarassed to eat in front of your date.. My wife and I are 8 almost 9 yrs. and we old but in the 90s I had troubles.
The reason why your Microwave wasn't working is because you don't have an 1100 watt Microwave. Your microwave isn't cooking hot enough. I know cause I own the same microwave as you and it will NOT cook a pot pie at all.
Mine actually weren't frozen, I kept them in the fridge! But I don't think they taste like frozen food tbh especially compared to other microwavable meals I've had in the past. I appreciate you watching💕
I’ve read some reviews and I’m trying it. Rated very well. My daughter is using it and microwaves the meals as recommended. Promo code gives first shipment free.
Is she putting the meals in the freezer and reheating them? Because they are supposed to be put in the refrigerator and reheated, 2 minutes should be plenty
Yeah I'm on my 3rd (or 4th) week with them now and the taste seems to get more blehh! I do like the convenience but the taste isn't all the greatest😩 I appreciate you watching💕
If you remember, come back and let me know what you think! I love to hear other peoples opinion and experience with Factor 🙌🏾 I appreciate you watching💕
11.49 a meal is a lot of lot of money.11.49 will get me 2 dinners for 2 days.yeah it's easy.amd "convienient".but really take the piss with the plans I think just saying I'm from UK and that seems well extortionate.thanks for the review.you got a UK sub.
In my experience delivered to my home spoiled. Delivery driver sets it on the porch takes picture then steals it. Or the famous delivered to wrong house. Well known Companies can scam u for your money without getting your product. Good luck in reaching customer service whom most of them pass a buck. Nope i dont trust it. Good luck if u do. Good video.
Ahh i'm sorry to hear you've had a bad experience! I'm lucky that I have never had any issues with any service that I have tried but I hope they gave you a refund. I appreciate you watching 💕
I tried factor last night and had a horrible gas attack. I will never touch any of their products again. I had the spinach and chicken thighs with mushrooms. Also, the food wasn’t that tasty.
ouuu ive always wanted to try factor - im wondering if it ships to canada as well wow thats annoying that its not heating up that steak bite looks delicious - now I wanna try haha okay 3 minute was the sweet spot! we love sauce!
In the end, I was pleasantly surprised! Not all the meals were delicious but I think it's worth it at the discounted price. Not sure i would spend $90/week for it. I appreciate you watching💕
i'm researching some meals for my brother who works too much and has been losing weight. their meals look interesting except for the fact that he's allergic to shrimp (your least favorite meal) and it makes his lips and eyes swell. otherwise factor looks reliable and i hope you're a free-spending regularly working person. you look trustworthy and worthy of other positive adjectives.
I tried Hello Fresh a few yrs ago. They lured me in with the "free meals" they were offering. 😮💨I wasn't a fan of cutting up veggies and the lack of season. Factor seems to be more convenient. I'm going to try them but I won't be starting with the 3 meals a day lol
I do like HelloFresh when it comes to cooking for my family but Factor is a wee bit more convenient just for 1 off meals (and quicker too.) I only get an hour for my lunch break so having a full meal in under 4 mins is hard to beat😩 I appreciate you watching💕
I'm glad you found it helpful! Factor definitely caters to a specific group of people but at full price, it just doesn't make sense for me😩 I appreciate you watching 💕
@@CeceMEFit that’s so nice of you , thank you! I haven’t gotten my first order just yet but when I do I’ll try out the code and let you know if it works . Thanks again
The food is awful. Unless one gets it fresh from the box. And heated up while thawed out. If I froze it first. The meals did not suffice. Especially the breakfast (egg) meals. They're overpriced. Although I do think they healthier than frozen dinners.
Yeah I tried factor v blue apron... my opinion is blue apron for the win.. the protein portions were bigger w factor but overall food was better w blue apron, microwave times also were more on point w blue apron.
Ahh sounds like i need to try them next. After a while, Factor meals taste so blehh to me! I can't explain it but I will look into blue apron! I appreciate you watching💕
I also have to add more cooking time to be satisfied, but I think its pretty tasty so far! I'll keep the meals you liked in mind for my next order. I might use your link if I wanna continue the service after my introductory offer runs out :)
I'm glad it's not only me! My microwave sucks but I definitely wondered if anyone else had the issue😊I appreciate you watching💕 Thanks in advance if you do decide to use my link 😃
Lol you gotta extend the time in 700w microwaves. But thanks for the review. Ik you know about seasoning thats why i clicked. Cuz we def dont do bland like the "dash of salt" ppl.😂
I had a meal that was supposed to take about 4 minutes and it took at least 10. Even then, it was barely warm. If I hadn’t removed the broccoli, it would have been mush.
I have been loving my meals! I think your first 2 meal didn’t really hit because they weren’t hot enough. I personally prefer microwave oven over traditional oven. Great video!
Every single person who signs up for factor gets a sharable link. If you sign up right now you'll get one too 😊 A sponsorship is a contractual agreement in which a company pays someone to promote a product. Affiliate links ≠ a sponsorship Hope this clears things up! I appreciate you watching💕
Thanks for watching! 💕💕If you want to save a bit of $$ and try out Factor, here is my referral link: bit.ly/3swwg5j
I also had to microwave my factor meal for 3 minutes. 2 minutes does not work.
@@patriciamoffitt1058 i wanna try but not sure yet but your video does help thank you.
Fun fact, your food should be on the outer perimiter of the microwave plate to ensure even cooking. The middle doesnt get heated in the microwave. So if you put food in the dead center of the microwave, its not going to cook evenly. Hope this helps someone, cuz it definitely was a game changer for me
Thanks for the tip! I've used a microwave for years and no body has ever told me this😩 I appreciate you watching 💕
I was today years old when I found this out. Thank You 😊
Now who was gonna tell me this! God bless you maam
Microwaves cause CANCER. That's why microwaves are banned in most countries. So your literally getting nowhere eating food out of microwaves.

play with the microwave settings. There's usually a base setting of low, medium, high wattage. Yours may just be set on low.
I tried factor this week. I think it makes sense if you’re focused on portion control, eating a balanced meal, and tracking macros.

Very useful review. I was on the fence about ordering, but you're right, I don’t wanna compromise a healthy diet because I'm so busy and don't have time to cook.
There's a time and a place for factor! It's not an every week think for me but it's great for on the go people😊 I appreciate you watching💕
Wow! All the hate on this girl’s video for what??!? It’s just her opinion. Let her live! Geesh!!
The internet is an interesting place isn't it?!🤣🤣 no worries though, I appreciate you watching💕💕
Thank you! I really enjoyed your review. Some other reviews focus on calories. I don't care about calories because if the food is nasty, I won't be eating it.
I totally agree! I know a lot of fitness people are on the calorie counting kick but i just want food that's quick and taste good😩 I appreciate you watching💕
ilol, if youre gonna freeze the food it will take longer to get warm
you aren't supposed to freeze it
I never put the food in the freezer though
Your review has made me try this service. You did a great job. Every other review I watched just didn’t feel real
I'm glad you enjoyed this review🫶🏾I appreciate you watching💕
This is what I was looking for! Something unsponsored for this company. Thank you.
Glad I could help! I appreciate you watching💕
There are quite a few with mushrooms and the next one is like $75+ so I’m trying Tempo
I love mushrooms! How do you like Tempo? I haven't tried them yet
I appreciate you watching 💕
for me 2mins turns out perfect every time. Trying to avoid having my food swimming in plastic so I always dump it in a plate before heating up. For what it is, I like this food, much better than frozen dishes. It kinda goes against my principle of eating local organic food but this was a life saver when I injured my knee and couldn't leave the house for a month. Is it worth it without 20% discount or if you have time to shop in a store? prob not. But if you're pressed for time and want something that's better than frozen dishes, healthier than fast food and cheaper than ordering from a restaurant, then yea go for it.
Such a great idea to put it on a plate before warming it up! I appreciate you watching 💕
Just want to add different microwaves have different outputs so you can't really trust what the box says you might have to do 4min instead
Thanks for the advice! I've been doing 3 mins and it seems to work (most of the time)😄 It's definitely time for a new microwave though lol I appreciate you watching 💕
I love your energy. A complete breath of fresh air.
Aww thank you🥹 I appreciate you watching 💕
I ordered my first box and the meals are mid I just hate how much sodium the meals contain 😩 I’m probably gonna stick to meal prepping
No doubt that meal prepping is healthier and cheaper than factor 🙌🏾 I enjoy it from time to time but not too often! I appreciate you watching💕
I subbed and thank you for saving me even the discounted box. My broke a was after the FILET for 2 for the six meals!!!!!
Yall remember the days of being embarassed to eat in front of your date.. My wife and I are 8 almost 9 yrs. and we old but in the 90s I had troubles.
I don't like the price of the upcharges if i'm honest but the filet was decent! I appreciate you watching💕
The reason why your Microwave wasn't working is because you don't have an 1100 watt Microwave. Your microwave isn't cooking hot enough. I know cause I own the same microwave as you and it will NOT cook a pot pie at all.
it's giving we BOTH need a new microwave😩 I appreciate you watching💕
@@CeceMEFit Just replaced mine with a 1100 watt lol!
I know they are frozen microwave food, but do they taste like it too? 🫣
Mine actually weren't frozen, I kept them in the fridge! But I don't think they taste like frozen food tbh especially compared to other microwavable meals I've had in the past. I appreciate you watching💕
The time might be set for a more powerful microwave
I def need a new one😩 I appreciate you watching💕
I’ve read some reviews and I’m trying it. Rated very well. My daughter is using it and microwaves the meals as recommended. Promo code gives first shipment free.
I think it's more worth it at the discounted price tbh! I hope your daughter likes it, I appreciate you watching💕
Is she putting the meals in the freezer and reheating them? Because they are supposed to be put in the refrigerator and reheated, 2 minutes should be plenty
No I kept mine in the fridge the entire time! I appreciate you watching💕
I tried them! 1 and done!the sodium content is ridiculous! And they don’t taste good at all
Yeah I'm on my 3rd (or 4th) week with them now and the taste seems to get more blehh! I do like the convenience but the taste isn't all the greatest😩 I appreciate you watching💕
Gorgeous 😍 😍 we need the skincare routine!
Thank you🥹 I am planning to film one soon 🧖🏾♀️ I appreciate you watching💕
If they purchase meals how can you know its not gmo . Like the ads claim these corporations lie so much
Great job.....im going to give it a shot!!! Im always busy.
If you remember, come back and let me know what you think! I love to hear other peoples opinion and experience with Factor 🙌🏾 I appreciate you watching💕
11.49 a meal is a lot of lot of money.11.49 will get me 2 dinners for 2 days.yeah it's easy.amd "convienient".but really take the piss with the plans I think just saying I'm from UK and that seems well extortionate.thanks for the review.you got a UK sub.
No it's definitely on the pricier end, I prefer to only use Factor when I can get it at a discount 🤣 I appreciate you watching💕
In my experience delivered to my home spoiled. Delivery driver sets it on the porch takes picture then steals it. Or the famous delivered to wrong house. Well known Companies can scam u for your money without getting your product. Good luck in reaching customer service whom most of them pass a buck. Nope i dont trust it. Good luck if u do. Good video.
Ahh i'm sorry to hear you've had a bad experience! I'm lucky that I have never had any issues with any service that I have tried but I hope they gave you a refund. I appreciate you watching 💕
I’ve been doing research on Factor and am considering trying it out.
Let me know what you think if you do try it out! I appreciate you watching💕
I tried factor last night and had a horrible gas attack. I will never touch any of their products again. I had the spinach and chicken thighs with mushrooms. Also, the food wasn’t that tasty.
Factor definitely isn't' for everyone! If your interested, check out Cook Unity, I prefer them. I appreciate you watching 💕
Am i the only one that thinks the song from the commercial sounds like Bobby Browns song On Our Own from Ghostbusters II?
ouuu ive always wanted to try factor - im wondering if it ships to canada as well
wow thats annoying that its not heating up
that steak bite looks delicious - now I wanna try haha
okay 3 minute was the sweet spot!
we love sauce!
In the end, I was pleasantly surprised! Not all the meals were delicious but I think it's worth it at the discounted price. Not sure i would spend $90/week for it. I appreciate you watching💕
i'm researching some meals for my brother who works too much and has been losing weight. their meals look interesting except for the fact that he's allergic to shrimp (your least favorite meal) and it makes his lips and eyes swell. otherwise factor looks reliable and i hope you're a free-spending regularly working person. you look trustworthy and worthy of other positive adjectives.
They have plenty of other options besides shrimp if you think this is a good option for him😊 I appreciate you watching💕
@@CeceMEFit thank you, cece.
Great review
Glad you like it, I appreciate you watching💕
Price seems kinda high per week.
I don't disagree, it's def cheaper to buy/prepare you own food! Have you tried any meal prep services? I appreciate you watching💕
I tried Hello Fresh a few yrs ago. They lured me in with the "free meals" they were offering. 😮💨I wasn't a fan of cutting up veggies and the lack of season. Factor seems to be more convenient. I'm going to try them but I won't be starting with the 3 meals a day lol
I do like HelloFresh when it comes to cooking for my family but Factor is a wee bit more convenient just for 1 off meals (and quicker too.) I only get an hour for my lunch break so having a full meal in under 4 mins is hard to beat😩 I appreciate you watching💕
I think Factor meals are delicious and healthy but they are high in sodium and can be pricey
Yeahh the price isn't ideal for me tbh! I try to only order when I have a discount or credit😊
It's better if you place your food in a plate then microwave it that way you avoid eating microplastic!
Thank you for the tip😊 I appreciate you watching💕
Your microwave is low watts that’s why it takes so long to cook!
I know😭😭 Trust me, after this video I have put buying a new one on my to-do list🤣 I appreciate you watching 💕
Thank you for this review. I’m here after finally ordering a week of Factor with 50percent off I’m not keeping the subscription just like you lol.
I'm glad you found it helpful! Factor definitely caters to a specific group of people but at full price, it just doesn't make sense for me😩 I appreciate you watching 💕
@@CeceMEFit I’m hoping they send me a please come back offer lol we’ll see how it goes
@@Section_Nate try this code: 24MLRQ1 they have sent it to me to come back but I haven't used it! Let me know if it works for ya😁
@@CeceMEFit that’s so nice of you , thank you! I haven’t gotten my first order just yet but when I do I’ll try out the code and let you know if it works . Thanks again
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome! I appreciate you watching💕
The food is awful. Unless one gets it fresh from the box. And heated up while thawed out. If I froze it first. The meals did not suffice. Especially the breakfast (egg) meals. They're overpriced. Although I do think they healthier than frozen dinners.
I tried some of their breakfast stuff once and it wasn't good! Never got it again 😩 lol I appreciate you watching💕
Yeah I tried factor v blue apron... my opinion is blue apron for the win.. the protein portions were bigger w factor but overall food was better w blue apron, microwave times also were more on point w blue apron.
Ahh sounds like i need to try them next. After a while, Factor meals taste so blehh to me! I can't explain it but I will look into blue apron! I appreciate you watching💕
I also have to add more cooking time to be satisfied, but I think its pretty tasty so far! I'll keep the meals you liked in mind for my next order. I might use your link if I wanna continue the service after my introductory offer runs out :)
I'm glad it's not only me! My microwave sucks but I definitely wondered if anyone else had the issue😊I appreciate you watching💕 Thanks in advance if you do decide to use my link 😃
The Sodium is high
Hilarious to me that I come for a review of this brand/service and the ad I get is for an entirely different brand/service. So appropriate, lol.
That happens all the time when I watch UA-cam🤣I appreciate you watching💕
Definitely would ditch this and do your own meal prep for the portions you get its not worth it
I agree, it is wayy cheaper to meal prep! I appreciate you watching 💕
I’m giving them a shot next week thanks for the honest review
I'm glad you found it helpful! If you remember, come back and let me know what meals you liked😊 I appreciate you watching 💕
basically TV dinners
Ahh very similar except these aren't frozen which makes them a bit fresher! ! I appreciate you watching 💕
Lol you gotta extend the time in 700w microwaves. But thanks for the review. Ik you know about seasoning thats why i clicked. Cuz we def dont do bland like the "dash of salt" ppl.😂
My microwave is actually 900W but it's old lol need a new one for sure😂 I appreciate you watching 💕
The carrot isn't burnt. It's roasted and caramelized 🙄
thanks for the correction🥕🥕🥕 I appreciate you watching💕
I had a meal that was supposed to take about 4 minutes and it took at least 10. Even then, it was barely warm. If I hadn’t removed the broccoli, it would have been mush.
Glad it wasn't only me😭 everyone talking smack about my microwave😟😂
Not even gone lie I clicked you cause you was a sista 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know you gone keep it a buck
I appreciate you watching💕
I have been loving my meals! I think your first 2 meal didn’t really hit because they weren’t hot enough. I personally prefer microwave oven over traditional oven.
Great video!
That is very possible! What have been your favorite factor meals? I appreciate you watching 💕
Thanks for the video! I feel like I can trust your review, and I want to give Factor a shot now. Liked and subbed, wish you the best!
Aww thank you🫶🏾I really appreciate it💕 If you remember, come back and let me know how you like it😊 I appreciate you watching, liking, and subscribing!
Great video nice to see a video from a non paid influencer
Glad you liked it! I appreciate you watching💕
Clicked immediately when I saw you 😂😂😂
I appreciate you watching 💕
I agree i ordered 18 meals. Down to 12 haven’t tasted a good meal yet.
They are just okay! Now I space out when I order them because I get tired of the food😩 I appreciate you watching💕
THIS IS NOT AN UNSPONSERED REVIEW. YOU HAVE AN AFFILIATE LINK. SHADY AF!
Every single person who signs up for factor gets a sharable link. If you sign up right now you'll get one too 😊 A sponsorship is a contractual agreement in which a company pays someone to promote a product.
Affiliate links ≠ a sponsorship
Hope this clears things up! I appreciate you watching💕
That's a lot of cholesterol in these meals. How is this healthy?
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it😊 I appreciate you watching💕💕
Factor is all sodium. Think about it. Its frozen food. Super high sodium
Factor isn't frozen food actually, it is refrigerated! But I will say, they aren't a good fit for everyone nutritionally. I appreciate you watching 💕
Microwaving meat or fish is a crime!!!
