Good Measure Meals

For pre-prepared food service, this is one of the better services. I've bought heat and eat meals from Kroger, Clean Eatz, and other food services, but Good Measure Meals actually taste pretty good (remember, it's frozen and re-heated, so it will never taste as good as fresh or from a restaurant), the portions are filling, it's a great value, and you give back to charity.

A win-win all around. Delivery is consistent and friendly, and considering inflation, these are affordable and generally healthy.

The customer service and on-time delivery were excellent, everything arrived on time and meals were a value versus competition.

After a full week of meals I can say there is variety and portions will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

However, I have been disappointed in the taste of the food. Bland, and dry are frequent descriptions.

I will not reorder but hope their mission is successful.

I cant recommend them. Ive ordered multiple times with all the local fresh prepped food service and they are just nowhere near where they need to be:
- its clear the calories are not accurate - even for the 600 calorie meals
- only 25-30g protein (think small fist sized), too much carb over veg or protein
- mostly plain brown rice as carb and veggies are gross
- they have 4 locks on the fridges so it is painful to get meal
- swap options are non-sensical. theyre tech is messed up. you can swap one day but not rest.

Great concept, poor quality, poor execution

Honesty I love coming here to eat ! The food is amazing they never disappoint I love how many different options they have the food is fresh cooked well hot n ready ! The food definitely will fill u up u may have sum left over for later I mean this will make u fee fat like I ate b4 eating this delivery is ama

GMM Meal Plan

I cannot say enough good things about Good Measure Meals! I love their site and how user friendly it is. I'm able to cater the plan to my needs: days, dietary restrictions, caloric intake and more. I love their meals! From breakfast to dinner and the snacks in between, I am eating more than I normally would, but it's all balanced and again catered to my lifestyle. Highly recommend trying the company out! PS - For every two meals you purchase, one meal goes back to someone in your community! Eating well and doing well -- hard to beat!

After having a baby, a well-rounded diet was difficult to manage. My mom prepared most meals during the first week we were home with the baby, and things went a bit downhill from there. We got by on a lot of Chic-fil-a, Jimmy Johns, and often skipped meals.

I lost a bit too much weight too quickly (50% of my baby weight within 2 weeks), and I started feeling tired, dizzy, and weak. I needed an easy food solution that didn't just fill me up but also included the proper nutrients. A co-worker told me about Good Measure Meals, a service available in the Atlanta area, that delivers up to 3 prepared meals a day + snacks. I signed up last week and received the first delivery today.

I signed up for a 2100 calorie - 5 day package for both my husband and me since the Good Measure Meals home page offers a free day (see below for a 30% off code) when you sign up for a week. Today's delivery included breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for Tuesday - Thursday. Thursday, we will receive another delivery with Friday and Monday meals.

Since we received our delivery around 6pm today, we decided to eat Tuesday's dinner today even though it is Monday. The meal was Shrimp and Chicken Etouffe with Brown Rice, Corn Soufle and Turnip Greens. The portion size was huge (560 calories), and we actually shared one meal and put the other package in the freezer since we weren't hungry enough to eat both packs.

First thoughts:

Quality and convenience - The meal was quite good and would have taken at least an hour if I prepared it on my own vs. the 5 minutes it took to heat it in the microwave. Factoring in dreaded grocery shopping, it is a huge time saver. I typically prepare my own food and have never eaten a frozen TV dinner, so the quality is something a healthy eater would appreciate.

Price - With the free 5th day offer (see below for 25% off code) from the Good Measure Meals homepage + delivery, two orders of the 2100 calorie - 5 day package came to $248.24 (delivery cost $28 and tax was $4.32; a pick-up location costs around $3 - we were looking at the most convenient option). This comes to around $8.30 per person per meal (this assumes that snacks are eaten with meals and not considered separate meals). If I like all of the meals, the price is worth it just to get back on track. I can definitely cook high-quality meals for less, but the convenience makes it worth occasionally using this service.

Next time - If we continue to be satisfied with the food and order again, I will probably order the 1700 calorie - 7 day package. The difference between this one and the 2100 calorie pack is 2 extra days of meals and no snacks. With this package, my husband and I can share the dinners and pick and choose which breakfasts/lunches we want and fend for ourselves on the other 3 or 4 breakfast/lunch days. That package would cost $171.43 + $28 shipping + tax... bringing each meal to about $9.50 (about $7.50 if you count the dinners twice since we can split those).

Overall, I enjoyed my experience with Good Measure Meals. It was extremely convenient to just open the fridge, pull out a container, heat it up, and eat within just a few minutes.

I highly recommend ordering a full week of 3 meals per day when time is tight and good food is necessary (new moms, people recovering from surgery, etc.) *great gift idea. The dinner-only option may be more economical for those who just need to reclaim some of their afternoons or don't want to spend time cooking every day.

The target market for Good Measure Meals is individuals, but it would be nice to see couple or family packs in the future since ordering meal plans for each person in a family would get costly very quickly.

A wonderful meal-prep company that offers macro friendly foods that taste good! Well, maybe not to people who dont diet though honestly, but for people who diet, this is like heaven!

This company stopped by our company one day for a mini expo and offered us firs time coupons, sampler of a meal prep, and answered all of our questions and concerns. I will say its great for people who are very busy or too lazy to cook. The lady who I spoke to was very nice and friendly, plus very knowledgeable!

This company seem to basically have 3 options per day, 1-2- or 3 meals a day which of course, affect the price. Overall, you will spend at least $6-7 per meal it seems (I cant remember off the top of my head) which is pretty good when you consider it portions it out for you, cooked and ready to go with no dishes to do + time efficient etc.

My only nudge is I find the food a bit pricey considering each meal is about $6 at least and my meals are about $2-3 when I make them myself. I dont mind doing dishes nor do I mind meal prepping once a week since I have a decent amount of free time (no kids so tons of time and not a lot of dishes).

For math geeks:

$6 per meal x 3meals per day x 7 days a week = $126 for 3 square meals (that does not include snacks, protein powder, bcaa, aminos, preworkout, etc.)

How much I spend :
$3 per meal max 3 meals a day x 7 days a week = $73 a week
Also, I do not use salt when I cook, just coconut oil and pepper on my meats. veggies get lemon juice, etc. super healthy. I have a scale at home to portion my meals, etc. dishes and time $5-10 extra a week in utilities?

Overall, my meals are roughly 40% cheaper per week if I make them myself and probably a little more macro friendly (im okay with plain food) . My only reason to order from them would be to have the luxury or being lazy and lounge on the couch for an extra hour on sundays (which lazy isnt in my dictionary).

I think this would be a good option for people who are busy, dont like to do dishes/cook, or prefer tastier diet food! Highly recommend!

I struggle to eat healthy in the evenings, and I especially struggle to eat enough vegetables, so I went looking for a reasonable solution and Good Measure Meals is it.

The pros:
1. Pre-measured meals with nutrition information included on the packaging.
2. Each meal had a vegetable side equal to about 1 cup.
3. A variety of foods to eat (something that's hard to do as a single person cooking for yourself only).
4. Pick-up location was close to home.
5. Price is reasonable.
6. Having a meal waiting at home kept me from eating out. (Eating fewer calories and fat PLUS less spending. Yay!)
7. It's a charitable organization, so you can feel good about spending your money with them.

The cons:
1. I'm not a big fan of leftovers and this is essentially what you're eating because the meals have been cooked and then packaged.
2. Most of the meals I had were higher in fat than I would like (around 15 grams). I usually prefer to eat meals around 10-11 grams in fat. But it's a whole lot better than eating out, so it's not a deal breaker.
3. Lack of seasoning. I had to add spices or salt every time, but it makes sense with this kind of service that has to cater to a large clientele.

I selected the no-seafood, dinner only, 5-day plan which allowed me a couple of nights to eat out. If you're a single person looking for healthier eating options, Good Measure Meals is a good place to start.

P.S. I never re-heated the meals in the container (thanks to the tip from other Yelpers!) And meals re-heated in the microwave tasted better than meals re-heated in the oven.

This has been amazing for my health and time management. Before, I would get motivated on Sundays and buy a bunch of groceries, only to be tired during the week and just go out for food. I wasted so much money and ended up eating poorly. Another thing I love about Good Measure Meals is how varied the food is. If you want, you can have a different dish every lunch and dinner of the week. The meals are flavorful and make me feel full without being uncomfortable. There is also an option to add a 200 or 400 calorie snack for each day! For anyone who is wasting money on eating out and groceries and want to have a balanced, flavorful diet - Good Measure Meals is for you.

Good Measure Meals are terrific! I've tried a number of delivery services and they tasted like sawdust. Frozen dinners are high in sodium and preservatives. Good Measure Meals are not - they tasty, fresh, and overseen by a licensed nutritionist and a great chef. They are delivered two times a week, fresh and unfrozen, to be eaten within 3 days. And for those that want to give back to the community, for every two meals you purchase, one goes to someone who is in need through Open Hand Atlanta. I am doing the 3 x day, 1200 calorie meal plan, and can select the meals I like (I'm basically a vegetarian who eats chicken once in awhile)! Right now, you can use the code "FIRST5" and get $5 off your first order. With my busy schedule, my health and waistline have benefitted from Good Measure Meals!
