Disclaimer: I think Rich is the biggest douche in the business. Hell, I think he knows he is. I don't agree with 3/4 of the shit he says, or rather the advice he gives. I do sometimes find his content entertaining, akin to driving past a car crash and just having to take a look. So, with that said...
I'm fucking busy like a lot of you guys. Between the kid, the wife, and the job I barely have time to fit in my training and meal prep, especially meal prep. So I started looking for pre-made options I can just throw in the microwave when in a pinch. These fucking things are expensive, the average being $10-$12 for a 400 cal, 40 g protein meal. I stumbled across Piana's meal plan, priced at about $8.25 a meal including delivery. So I bit. I ordered the 21 meal/week for a grand total of $175. This is a recurring plan so you have to pause your order unless you want to keep receiving them weekly. I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I've read a lot of bs reviews about them and most are far from the truth. The main complaint being the macros can't be right. Well, they are. The meals are big, there is a shitload of high quality meat in these things. You can tell these things are made fresh, the sirloin steak and chicken is just as you would get at the grocery and prepped it yourself. The taste is good, not fantastic but these are suppose to be healthy options for bodybuilders/athletes. The quality of the food is there though.
So... I just thought I'd share this info with you guys incase some of you find yourselves in the position I am in with my time. I do not intend on using his meal plan as a stand alone at $175/week, although if you have money to spend and suck at or hate cooking and would pay for convenience it's really not a bad option.
