Factor meals and the like.

My youngest heads off to college in a few months. I’ve thought about the Factor meals, since it will just be two of us.

Didn’t sound that bad, I went on website and put 2 meals a day, 5 days a week. It was 100 bucks.

Any experiences?

Tell her to watch her book bag closely at a campus dining hall. Book thieves target those places regularly. Stolen books are a big business at colleges.

I buy them. Great for on the go and it really puts in perspective how much a person really should eat.

I couldn’t have misread this more. Disregard.

No experience here, but I’d have to imagine them being relatively bland, that can be fixed.
Price is high but would allow y’all to eat different meals if you don’t agree on what you want. Also no prep and very little cooking time, and clean up.
I could see utilizing them, but not as everyday, twice a day nutrition.
Buy a weeks worth and stretch it two weeks…maybe.

Not bland at all. Sure, some taste better than others but majority of them are pretty good. They are about the equivalent to grabbing a meal out, yes more expensive compared to cooking it at home but about on par when you stop at a fast food joint, better food and less calories.

They don't have preservatives so most will only keep a week or so at best.

Been using them for about year, Save money in the long run and better then eating out fir lunch. havent had a bad one yet.

If you want a free week coupon let me know.

Cooked fresh, never frozen. Cheaper then a double double with fries from What-a-burger

All kinds of options, Paleo, Protein plus, etc

One of the better Indian butter chickens Ive had, also love the Jalapeño-Lime-Cheddar Chicken

Thanks for the offer. I think I get 15 percent off.

If I can get out with lunch and dinner for me and wife for 100 bucks a week. That’s a win.

A buddy was telling me about a local company called Icon. May give both a try.

They both offer similar discounts.

Cooking for 2 is so EZ, been just the wife and I since 2016 when youngest moved out.
On Saturday or Sunday grill up something like ribs, pork shoulder, big stew etc. Add a salad or vegetable and eat on it for 2-3 days. Find something else and do it again. You'd be surprised at how little it takes food wise to survive on. Might even drop a few pounds by accident if needed.

Good luck,

If it is just two of yall at home now will you have time to cook? I go back in forth between the HEB options and meal prepping, the HEB meals are $6-8 each and have 450-650 calories each. They taste good and are super easy to prepare. When I meal prep I average $2.50-3.50 per meal. I have looked at the local companies that provide premade meals. I have tried some, they are good but I cannot justify $11-13 per meal. i am not that busy at home. If you have an HEB close by check out their meal prep options.

$12,49 per meal for 8 servings per week.

Whataburger doesn't offer Double Double, In and out does but it like $5

Don't know where you came up with pricing.

Just have your wife cook, it's part of her job as wife.

Problem solved............

Unfortunately, I didn’t marry her for her cooking skills. It would be the same 2 meals until I die.

I figured most women had burned their bras by now.

I’ll get mine to microwave a couple factor meals.

After reading about the sodium content of some Factor meals I don’t think I would want to exist on them.

I am with Roll Tide on this one. Is there anything else I am missing out on? What are the other parts to a wife’s job?

Yep.....

Salt isn’t the bad guy. Sugar is

Salt is a naturally occurring crystalline substance found on Earth. Sodium is a mineral, and is one of the chemical elements found in salt. Not the same thing. Sodium added to processed foods is a major contributor to high blood pressure in our society.

My wife got in the kitchen and learned how to cook by trail and error. I showed her how I like my steak cooked, and my food and she watched alot of video on Youtube and by trail and error.

Only if you are a SIMP

Whataburger absolutely has a double double.

you should fact check your self, before you post. A what-a-burger double-double meal is roughly $12 with tax. Their menu is posted on line.

in&out double meal is roughly 10 bucks after tax.

now go compare nutritional info

Wrong, Not on the menu they don't. In and Out has it on the menu.

Double Double is trademark for IN and Out

Wrong

You posted a Double Meat Whataburger Meal

A Double Double is a In and Out Trademark name and it only run about $5 I get one about once a month. I don't drink sodas or eat fries.

It’s not just a double double. Chick Fila number 1 is 10-11 bucks now.

“Cheaper than a double double with fries from What-a-burger“ Is what I posted.


Go to what-a-burger and order it then post the receipt.

then post nutritional info

The double double used to be my go to there. Never had a problem ordering it at any whataburger.

As I said a Double Double isn't on the Whataburger menu, it is a Trademark of In and Out.

I haven't been to a Whataburger in years since they put a In and Out in Frisco

The Whataburger you posted had a drink included, Those meal places don't sell drinks either

I could give two chits about the nutritional info.

I eat my In and Out Protiens style (With Lettuce no buns) and peppers on the side.

You can get a McDonald Double Cheese buy one get one free from the McDonald App for like $3 for two burger every day.

Like I said before, Double Double isn't a menu item on Whataburger, it's a Trademark name for a In and Out Burger

Relying on the menu offering at a Cali burger joint in deference to Whataburger is “interesting” at best. Frankly, I can’t believe there to be a merit worthy discussion of the in and out menu. Guess RR rides his bicycle there. For me, never been there.

This is the dumbest argument ever. I'm out.

Ya I found out after 30 years of ordering double double’s and triple triples from Whataburger it was actually a fantasy. Who know

Double Double is Trademark of In and Out and on there menue

Show me Whataburger with Double Double on the menu.

I will wait.......

My own version

Lol you are arguing semantics. Order a double double w/fries and post receipt from whataburger

Yep

In and out’s double double has nothing on the salon spa’s double double which features four hands and no salt.

This thread has me so confused.

Arguing about fast food burgers on thread about factor meals.

No wonder America is the fattest country in the world.

Lunch choices today

303 grams is a pretty small meal. Is that about 400 calories?

vary’s on choices. some like Chive & Garlic Salmon & Shrimp
with Bacon-Cheddar Cauliflower “Grits”, Broccoli & Tri- are 840kcal

The carbs aren't horrible.

they have different options for keto, extra protein, etc. my only complaint is sodium amount but Im not sensitive so no issues

2 of those meals a day and I’d be over my sodium allowance for that day.

How do they compare taste wise to the HEB meal prep bowls?

That’s a lot of sodium.

Im certainly no sodium expert.

Is 35 percent of the daily value high? Seems if you had 2 of these and a light snack or two you would not exceed the recommended value.

I figure there is extra salt, based on the nature of the business. To help preserve the contents.

It’s not high. .

In any case, it’s less sodium than a super double at happy burger.

for comparison this is a whataburger double double with fries

I’m aware of the fast food sodium ratings. Traveling for work over 4 decades has lead to Dr. instructions of 1500 mg daily salt intake. I get 1 cheat day a week. Look up a Sonic double, I believe it was close to 4000mg of sodium.

Is it a double double?

I was thinking the same.

Is "super double" a trademarked menu item at happy burger? We need this info to make an informed decision on buying Factor meals.....

what ya'll know about them triple doubles?

wouldn't that be a triple triple?

Triple double is 222.

Which is what a person is gonna weigh if they keep eating those burgers….
