Uthful

I needed a reset after a few months of eating out far too much and wanted something structured. I signed up for the four week plan and it's been much easier than I expected. The meals are simple to prep and the app tells you what to do next, so I don't have to think about it.

I would happily use this service again and have told my brother about it. The meals arrived on time, the packaging kept everything cold, and the plan has helped me manage my weight without feeling deprived. The people on the phone were patient when I had questions about my medication timings.

The portion sizes are what I noticed first, they're way bigger than I expected for the price. Tastes good too, not like diet food. Only thing is the reminders on the app are a bit annoying and go off too early in the morning, so I've had to turn them down. Would still use it again though.

Compared it to the calorie counting app I was using before and honestly this is miles easier. Less typing, the recipes actually taste nice and I've not had to think about what's for tea. Really happy with it so far.

Bought the first box of meals last week. Everything came packed in ice and the portions were bigger than I thought they'd be. Got the food out the same evening and it was fine.

The recipe library is the thing I didn't expect to use so much. There's a huge range of things to pick from and I've tried loads of them so far. Easy to filter by time too, which helps on busy weeknights.

I ordered the starter box for my husband and me. The packaging was neat and everything was labelled with the dates. The meals are easy to heat and we've enjoyed them.

I needed a way to stop overspending on food each week and this has worked out cheaper than my usual shop once I count the waste. You pay one price for the week and that's it. Nothing extra to top up.

I bought the protein powder bundle with the shaker and a month of meal kits, and I've been training for a half marathon so I know my macros well. The protein mixes without clumps, which is more than I can say for some brands. Everything arrived fresh and the portions are spot on.

I'd been trying to plan my own meals for ages with a spreadsheet and a lot of takeaway, so this was a big change. Compared with cooking everything from scratch, it saves me a couple of hours a week and the food tastes fresh. The coaching calls were the bit I didn't expect to like, because the coach actually listened to what I was struggling with, and I've kept going with it since the first month.

I first signed up because my GP suggested I needed to keep a closer eye on my food and weight after my blood sugar came back high at my check up. I've been a customer for about six years and the meal plans have kept me on track through a lot of ups and downs. The support team has always answered when I've needed them, and I'd not go anywhere else.

I bought the cookbook alongside the eating plan, which I'd recommend to anyone who likes to cook from scratch. The recipes are clear and I've been following them for a few weeks now. My only small complaint is that the plan takes a bit of getting used to before it fits in with the rest of the household.

Honestly the portions are way bigger than I thought they'd be. Got the first lot after training and it's stopped me ordering chips. Sign up was quick, bit fiddly picking the days though.

Compared with the gym's own nutrition plan, this one feels much more realistic for a busy week. The meals are the same kind of thing I'd cook myself but without the shopping list. Two weeks in and I've noticed a difference in my energy, so I'm sticking with it.

I looked at three other meal plan services before picking this one, and the menu here was the most varied. The food is good and the portions are generous enough. It does cost more than the others though, and the first delivery was a day late, which made the week start awkwardly for me.

Needed something to stop me eating rubbish after training. Signed up on the site, picked a few meals and they came the next day in a cool box. The food is actually filling and I've lost a bit of weight. Got a load of recipes I'll keep using too.

This is the one I'd pick if you want a varied menu. I looked at three other meal plan services first and the choice here was the best by a distance, with proper vegetarian options that don't feel like an afterthought. It's pricier than the cheapest one but the waste is so much lower. The recipe library is handy too, so I'm not stuck with the same dinner every week.

Honestly the first thing I noticed was how little thinking I had to do after signing up, the weekly plan just lands in my inbox with the shopping list already sorted. I've been on it for nearly a year now and my mum keeps asking what I've changed. Dinners are the bit I look forward to most, and the meals reheat well at work too. Recipes are clear and I don't waste much food.

This is a good service if you want someone to do the planning for you. I signed up last month for the starter plan and the first week's food turned up on time, with everything labelled clearly. I've already decided to keep going with it after the trial ends.

Starting with the verdict: it's a good plan if you've been doing your own cooking badly. I've been counting macros for years so I knew what I wanted, and the plan is built around that without being fussy. The price is on the high side compared with doing a weekly shop yourself. The delivery came when it said it would, and the packaging kept everything cold.
