As a fitness fanatic, I always make time to get a workout in, and between being a group fitness instructor, personal trainer, and online fitness coach, I tend to work up quite an appetite. But eating well and making sure you get your macros right is a huge part of achieving your fitness goals.
When I need fast, easy, and HEALTHY meals, I turn to Trifecta and Factor_. Both deliver freshly cooked meals designed by nutritionists, but which one is better? Here's how they compare:
If you’re looking for the tastiest meals… Trifecta
When comparing taste and flavor, both my husband and I enjoy Trifecta’s meals more. The Factor_ meals had less protein and veggies, and the taste was a bit bland. With Factor_, you can choose which meals you want from a rotating weekly menu. Trifecta’s menu also changes weekly but after you’ve indicated your dietary needs and preferences, you’ll receive the chef’s choice of meals that we found much tastier.
If you’re looking for bigger portion sizes… Trifecta
I like volume in my meals so I personally love that Trifecta meal portions are more generous. I also eat a lot of protein and had no problem choosing options from Trifecta that met my dietary needs (gluten, dairy, legume, and soy free) and provided ample protein and veggies. When I look at the salmon option with Factor_, compared to the salmon, chicken, or shrimp with Trifecta you can instantly see a larger portion with Trifecta.
If you’re looking for the most affordable… Factor_
Trifecta’s order minimum is 7 meals starting at $110.99, so about $15 per meal. Meanwhile, Factor_’s order minimum is 4 meals for $60 or $15 per meal. Or you can get 6 -8 meals per week for $12.83 per meal.
If you’re looking for nutritional support… Trifecta
One great thing about Trifecta is you can access free nutrition coaching via the Trifecta app. Your nutrition coach can help provide you with the best plan, based on your fitness and nutrition goals as well as any dietary restrictions you may have. In fact, the Trifecta app is an invaluable resource for tracking your meals and workouts, as well as connecting with the Trifecta community. Factor_ does offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation with a nutritionist when you first sign up but doesn’t offer the free ongoing support as Trifecta that’s so crucial in any fitness journey.
The Ultimate Winner… Trifecta
For me, Trifecta is the healthy meal service that will give me the best results. It keeps me feeling fuller and satisfied for longer and the Trifecta app is an invaluable tool to keep me on the right track. By the way, do not sleep on the Kung Pao chicken with broccoli and sweet potato! It is CHEF'S KISS!!!
