Many patients report great success by utilizing meal delivery services. The benefits of meal delivery are numerous, the greatest being that it removes the responsibility of needing to count calories and keep track of nutritional values. With meal delivery the calorie counting has already been done. An entire day of pre-determined meals are designed to meet your daily caloric goals and nutritional requirements, so no calorie counting, nutrional value balancing, shopping, or cooking are required. According to Gallup, when you factor in groceries, convenience snack purchases, and dining out, the average American spends about $151 per week on food. Therefore, there may be only a slight increase in food expense when ordering from a meal delivery service - a cost that is well worth it when you consider the time you save by not needing to shop for, design, and prepare balanced meals.
