A Curated Directory

How we vet

Find Meal Plansis a hand-curated directory. We’re a small operation reviewing public information — we can’t inspect services or audit reviews — so here’s exactly how we choose and check listings, how our diet tags and prices are derived, and what a listing does and doesn’t mean.

What makes the cut

Every meal-prep service we come across
Real and operating
Local and independent, not a national brand
Actually delivers in that city
Listed
Most of what we look at doesn’t make it. The details below are how we decide.

What a listing is

Each listing is a meal-prep or prepared-meal delivery service we found and reviewed from its own website, menu, Instagram and Google listing — and judged to be a real, operating service with a working way to order at the time we reviewed it. We're assessing public information, not inspecting the business in person.

What we leave out

Restaurants, cook-it-yourself meal kits, businesses that look closed, and national brands that don't actually deliver to the city — even famous ones. If it isn't really meal prep you can order in that city, it doesn't go in.

Sources

Every listing links to the source we used — the business's own website, menu or socials — so you can check it for yourself. Details change, especially prices, menus and hours, so treat a listing as a starting point.

How diet tags work

A diet tag like vegan, keto, or high-protein means the service says it offers that. It's their word, taken from their own site or menu, not our guess. A tag doesn't mean the whole menu is that diet. Some services are built entirely around one; others just have a few options. So open the listing and see how much fits. We don't turn marketing into a tag: “macro-balanced,” “fitness,” and “muscle gain” are goals, not diets, so they get nothing. And “healthy” isn't a tag either. Almost every service claims it, so it describes the whole category, not a way to narrow it down.

How prices work

When a service publishes a price, we show it as a range in the local currency, exactly as they list it. We note whether it's per meal or per plan. The dollar figure next to it is an estimate. We work it out fresh each time the site builds, using current exchange rates, and never save it — a stored dollar price quietly goes wrong as rates move. If a service doesn't publish a price, we say “price on request” instead of guessing. Prices change often, so treat them as a guide and check the current number when you order.

Freshness has limits

Listings go stale, and whole businesses close. We re-check order links for dead sites and pull anything we find has shut down — but we're a small operation and can't catch every change the moment it happens. If you spot something wrong or closed, tell us and we'll fix or remove it.

Ratings aren't ours

Any star rating comes from a named platform like Google or TripAdvisor, with a link to the source. We didn't create these ratings and can't independently verify them — we only show ratings from named review platforms, never a number a business reports about itself. When we don't have one we can point to, we show none.

We're the directory, not the provider

We're a directory of meal-prep services. We don't run them. We review and curate the services we list, but we don't certify them. We don't cook, handle, or deliver the food, so confirm what matters — especially allergens — with the service directly. Our Terms & Disclaimer has the full version.
