I really like the concept. The food (especially the vegetables) had good flavor and tasted fresh for the first two weeks. However, having to choose 28 days of food without knowing what you will like, makes the second two weeks very hard. Plus the freshness deteriorates as the month progresses. As someone who is not a fan of cooking and wants convenience this works, as long as you're not picky. I would prefer being able to pick more lunch/dinner options then having a million omelet options for breakfast! There are only so many omelets you can eat! I am happy with what I ate, I just wouldn't do it "as is" for a month again.

First of all, the food tasted like what we had at a 2 star hotel. The chicken is over marinated, turkey meatballs had a lot of fat in it, and tasted like highly processed food.The veggies are OK. Second, the packaging is a disaster. Huge amount of plastic packaging for individual servings, and all the plastic packages are not recyclable. Some of the packages were broken during the transportation. Last, the e-newsletters were good to keep people motivated. I did not follow the plan, because all the proteins did not taste good. I have to through them away. Waste of money.

I chose PTF based on value and to fill the need of not wanting to cook and lose weight. The food is pretty good and portion size is satisfying ... I subscribed for 4 months. There are several issues I have: 1. boredom with menu variety (which could happen with any service). 2. packaging and waste produced. I'd like them to consider recycling options. 3. Marketing materials and sauces - these should be options to order and not just included with each shipment as it's a waste that impacts cost AND the environment. I was told I could submit a comment to ask they be excluded - I couldn't find where to do it so after calling once to request this the shipment still arrived with it. 4. The cancellation process needs to be available online rather than requiring a phone call. That makes it more difficult. This was the first time I've used a service like this - packaging is a problem everywhere but very visible with this service. I would still reorder from PTF because if the convenience but I'd like to see them expand their menu.

Ordering, service, packaging was great. Most of the food is good, a few items are great tasting. Cheese in the breakfast tastes like plastic. I was surprised at how good the frozen veggies are. Not a fan of mostly stems on the broccoli & cauliflower though. If I were to order again, I'd choose my own meals & not do the breakfasts.

Breakfast food doesnt work for me. Discontinued because of it.

Not enough food choices for the money as they did when they used to have smoked brisket, etc. In addition, not enough snack/food options for people with food allergies (tree nuts, olives, mushrooms, asparagus, etc)

Overpriced. Food is good. Getting straight answer regarding questions was disappointing and vague.

Sadly, my food arrived almost totally defrosted. Contents in the box was a mess. I brought in the box as soon as it arrived. Thank goodness I did, had I not been home, it could have been a disaster! Quality of food isn't bad. Never trust pictures!! I have used personal trainer food in the past, but this experience wasn't the same as in the past. Quality control is important! Now, would I order again, yes! It's a good program, but I think it could be even better!
