Ultimately, a good weight loss meal delivery service should either provide tools to help you learn how to create nutritious meals and stick with it, or offer a convenient mealtime solution to keep you consistent with your health goals. The best meal delivery service for you is the one that you enjoy and works with your lifestyle, whether you prefer prepared meals that are ready to heat-and-eat or traditional meal kits.

Here are a few key factors to consider when selecting the right service for your needs:. If you'd rather avoid cooking or dirty dishes, a prepared meal delivery service may be ideal since the food comes to your door ready to eat.

Need something in between? Many services offer semi-prepared meals so you get the best of both worlds. Do you plan to have a service replace grocery shopping altogether or will this complement your grocery budget? Many brands offer discounts when you sign up for the service or if you refer a friend, and you can typically take advantage of better pricing if you order more meals.

If you're looking for expert guidance, some meal delivery services even offer a free or discounted consultation with their in-house dietitian. Most meal delivery services incur a flat shipping fee, though some will offer complimentary shipping if your order is over a certain limit.

However, we've noticed many of the leading meal delivery service brands finding innovative ways to focus on sustainability while also ensuring good shipping quality. Almost every service will have specific instructions on how to recycle or dispose of all of the items in the box on their website.

Meal delivery services that offer calorie-conscious fare and balanced, portioned control meals can be a great tool on your weight loss journey. They can take the guesswork out of meal planning and even save you a trip to the grocery store.

Better yet, these services often utilize chefs and nutrition professionals when creating the meals to keep the food not only nutritionally balanced but also tasty. Having an array of flavorful, lower calorie meals to choose from each week may improve compliance and success with your weight management goals.

It's best to first meet with a registered dietitian to determine how many calories your body needs in a day and other tools for weight management success since there is no one size fits all approach.

Some meal delivery services even offer a complimentary consultation with a dietitian if you're not sure where to start.
