Okay here's my deal. I'm 38F, full-time working mother of 3 young kids, battling depression and anxiety (yes, in therapy and on medication). I'm 5'3" and since Covid hit, I've gone from weighing ~155lb with a decent amount of muscle (I'd been strength training for over a year), to about 180lb with very little muscle since I haven't been going to the gym.
I'm exhausted and stressed and have very little time/desire for meal prep, weighing my foods, etc. I want someone to just hand me a box of prepared meals and snacks and be like "eat this stuff, and only this stuff, for the next few months to get started on weight loss." I understand that long-term weight loss is slow, doesn't work like that, etc. But right now I can't find the mental energy to do anything but the bare minimum. It doesn't help that I have to feed a family of 5, two of whom are extremely picky (we don't provide them alternate meals, but it does suck to spend a bunch of time cooking when you know it won't get eaten).
I'm not picky at all. I'll eat anything. I don't mind frozen food - Lean Cuisine-type stuff is totally fine with me. I really don't care, I just don't want to have to think. Oh, and this would just be for me - I'd still buy groceries and cook for my husband and kids, but I just wouldn't eat what I make for them for now (because trying to weigh out and log foods is hard when dinnertime is the most hectic/stressful time of the day)
Anyway, just curious if anyone has tried either a prepared meal delivery service, and what your experience was. I'm specifically looking at ones where the food is already cooked - not in kits. I don't care if it's fresh or frozen, it just has to be low effort. Ideally it would be breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for 7 days a week, although I know I may have to make some concessions there because of cost.
