We loved the flavor that Factor brings to its keto heat-and-eat meals, and the option of a free session with a licensed registered dietitian made this service even more appealing. 

Factor's fully-prepared meals are designed to have a high-protein, high-fat, and low-carbohydrate makeup, but the service also offers options outside of those parameters. The weekly menu offers big flavors across entrees (and even includes some breakfast items), all packed with vegetables plus a full nutrition breakdown. Choose from options like chicken piccata, jalapeño popper burgers, taco bowls, and blackened salmon, all of which can be heated in the microwave in only two minutes.
