I've never really done meal prep or made any effort to "eat clean". Most of my meals are chipotle or fast food burgers. Finally decided to try Piana's meal plan to fit some better quality meals into my schedule.
With shipping, it's $175 for 21 meals. Approximately 600 cals and 50-60g protein per meal.
Box came overnight Fedex from Florida. Everything was well packed and still frozen.
I ordered five varieties of meals. Turkey Bolognese, Orange Chicken, Chicken Alfredo, Beef Teriyaki and Meatballs with mashed Sweet Potatoes.
The Turkey Bolognese is pretty amazing. It's something I'm already craving for next weeks order. Quality of the meat was great, noodles are great. Flavor is just on point.
Orange chicken was my next favorite. Just enough of the orange sauce to really make it tasty.
Next would be Chicken Alfredo. Their noodles are great, and sauce is good (although used sparingly)
Beef teriyaki was okay. Quality of the steak is good, but there was absolutely no teriyaki sauce I could see.
Meatballs and sweet potato mash was bad. The meatballs had an iffy flavoring. Potatoes were okay. Would not order this one again.
Overall, quite happy and am ordering another week- and will probably continue on in the future. I feel much, much better eating clean food for lunch every day. The portions are just right to be satisfying for a meal, even for someone my size.
It would be soooo easy to cut using this food. I feel full eating a good tasting 600 cal meal with good macros.

I would say they are very healthy. It's pretty much lean chicken, steak or turkey with either pasta or rice. Macros are like 50-60g protein and 40-50g carbs per meal. Very little fat.
Cutting would be a piece of cake with these. Bulking would only be hard because you'd need to eat a minimum of 5-6 per day (assuming no other meals).480s / 370b / 495d / 235 x 2 SOHP

I've done Lean Cuisine meals. Stuff is terrible. The quality of these are much better, and they were literally cooked less than a week ago.
I've shopped around. I could make the stuff for $5/6 per meal, but even local prep services are $8 per meal, minimum.480s / 370b / 495d / 235 x 2 SOHP

I'm doing 2 of them during the work day (I've always ate two lunches) and sometimes one in the evening. Am still doing a morning protein shake and whatever I want for dinner.
They come every week, unless you pause the membership. I paused it after the first week to give myself a chance to try it all. I've now resumed it and plan on getting a box a week going forward.480s / 370b / 495d / 235 x 2 SOHP
