Sulit for me - people who say magpalengke and magluto ka nalang never consider the heavy mental labor it takes to plan each and every meal every single day while working full time. If within budget naman, it's perfectly fine. I also have dietary restrictions because of a chronic condition so I avail of specialized plans. 3 years na ako naka meal service - usually 3 or 4 days a week and then I order Saladstop/Stuffd/other vegetable-based establishments. The ones I've tried and my comments: Hearty Grub - varied and delicious meals, mga 2 years din ako sa kanila. I only stopped kasi medyo mas mura si: Health Kitchen MNL - 6 months so far, no issues Smart Meals - the cheapest one I found and the blandest meals ever. Puro brown rice and grilled chicken. Do not recommend Num Meals - very bland din and the mushy texture after microwaving is not for me
In short: They used The Hearty Grub for about two years and found its meals varied and delicious.

Hello, I tried Hearty Grub and Chef on a Diet. Taste wise, mas masarap ‘yung hearty grub pero hindi siya nakakabusog and also naka caldef ako and sometimes ‘yung food niya is masauce or laging pasta. Mas expensive rin siya kesa kay Chef on a Diet. Kay Chef on a Diet, if sulit paguusapan, I’ll say sulit siya lalo na if mahilig ka magorder/kumain sa labas- mas makakatipid ka downside lang is minsan pareparehas lang yung menu so may tendency na magsawa ka hahahaha pero overall, sobrang convenient niya lalo na if tamad ka magluto saka marami rin naman, minsan nga may natitira pa ako.
In short: They found The Hearty Grub tasty but not filling, and sometimes too saucy or heavy on pasta.

I tried Hearty Grub last week and I'm on Num Meals this week. Mas na-eexcite ako actually sa Hearty Grub kung ano yung meal ko for the day. But first day ko pa lang naman sa Num Meals. 🙂
In short: The author was more excited about Hearty Grub’s daily meals than the meals from another provider.

I like TheHeartyGrub, a bit cheaper than dear diet and I can customize my meals (ex. no pork, no spice for free) Im a fan of dear diet too but it’s just not sustainable in the long run for the price
In short: The author likes The Hearty Grub, noting its lower price and free meal customization.

I tried Yummy Diet and Smart Meals PH in the past, they all worked but I have to say that their food quality is "serviceable" at best. They also have a bad habit of delivering at very inconsistent times, often late too. The one I am happiest with is Hearty Grub. They are a tad bit more expensive than Yummy Diet and Smart Meals but the leap in quality is very evident in terms of variety and taste. As of the moment I have already stopped subscribing to meal plans because I want to take the next step of planning my own meals from hereon out. I did not regret subscribing to a meal plan, however, because it got me on the right track and gave me ideas on how to do my own planning going forward. I went from 92kg to 72kg today and 90% of that is because I stuck with a meal plan from Yummy Diet/Smart Meals/Hearty Grub. P.S. If you want early delivery, go for a "Night before" delivery instead. It makes the most sense and it keeps the food relatively fresh for tomorrow.
In short: The author is happiest with Hearty Grub, praising its variety and taste despite its slightly higher price.

Hi Im currently subscribed to heartygrub. may times nagrereklamo ako- mine is customized macros. my friend also. may times sinosobrahan nila pag fresh from reklamo. but lately i noticed parang less nanaman ang macros. any update about your situation? where are you getting your meal plans now?
In short: They report recurring problems with customized macros, which seem to decrease again after temporary increases following complaints.

I am subbed to Hearty Grub and it got me down from 92KG to 76KG as of today. I take the 1500 calorie high protein plan even if I have a 2100 calorie budget. The remaining calories I get to pick the foods at my own leisure. The meal plan is not necessary but it absolutely makes everything very convenient. I would advise to try it out for at least 2 weeks, just to see if it will affect you. I immediately lost 3KG during my first two weeks on a meal plan, though most of that could simply be water weight, but the effects were really there and evident. Do not sub to the cheaper ones like Yummy Diet or Smart Meals because their food quality is horrendous. If you are willing to pay for convenience then Meal Plans would surely make sense. Some services, like Hearty Grub, also offer customized food and have free nutritionist assessments depending on your health concerns, and health status.
In short: The author credits a Hearty Grub subscription with helping reduce their weight from 92 to 76 kilograms.

Please help: I am currently exploring more meal plan providers for my weekly rotation. My criteria: Around 2K~3K cost for 4 days x 3 meals (for 1800~2000 kcal), good-tasting meals, and a variety of dishes to offer. Most importantly, they have an online shop that accepts payment via card. Currently my top 2 meal plan providers are: The Six Pack Chef - In terms of flavor, I think their meals are the best from all the meal plan providers I tried. Variety-wise okay naman but merong times may magkalasa lang na meal from 4-5 days ago kahit na different dish talaga siya (pero tolerable naman). Dear Diet - In terms of variety, I think sila naman ang winner. But siguro in 1 out of 6 days there's a dish na di ko trip (hindi naman sa tasteless, more on preference-wise lang, like how others dislike cilantro). I am currently looking for two more alternatives para alternating sila per week. For some reason kasi mas mabilis ako maumay sa paulit ulit na pagkain everytime I'm consitent with my fitness journey. Please bear with me, and maraming salamat! PS. I have tried these meal plan providers too, pero they did not pass the vibe check: Smart Meals (madalas bland), Chef on a Diet (experienced a spoiled meal from them), Hearty Grub (mas expensive konti, and bank transfer lang payments iirc). Also meal prep on my own is out of the question at the moment due to some personal reasons, kaya I'm willing to spend on meal plan providers in the meantime. UPDATE (1 month later): Since then, I tried 3 other meal plan providers that accepts credit card payment (Daily's Diet, Pickle and Yummy Diet), but personally they are all a hit or miss for me. Still willing to give them another chance if I'd hear another good feedback here (baka timing lang di ko trip yung meal plan for the week). Ranking the meal plan providers that accepts credit card payment: Rankings Price Taste Variety Notes 1. The Six Pack Chef 💲💲💲 ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ No fruit or snacks included 2. Dear Diet 💲💲 ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ Some of their dishes are not compatible with my palate (eg. cilantro, cinnamon) 3. Pickle / Daily's (tied) 💲💲 ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ Similar reason to #2 but with more misses than hits 4. Yummy Diet / Chef on a Diet (tied) 💲 ⭐ ⭐⭐ Mostly rice-based, dishes are passable but some are unseasoned-tasting Legend for reference: Pricing (3 meals per day for 4 days) Rating 💲💲💲 → ~PHP 4K ⭐⭐⭐ → Great (eg. for taste, think restaurant-level appetizing) 💲💲→ ~PHP 3K ⭐⭐→ Good 💲→ ~PHP 2K ⭐→ Passable (eg. for taste, still appetizing enough if you are hungry)
In short: They found The Hearty Grub somewhat more expensive and believed it only accepted bank transfers.
