  • Lol, I'm guess I'm not one of those 2,500 trainers who recommend this food.

  • What is personal trainer food?
  • I just looked at the website. 70% protein?!!!? That's just madness. Constipated madness.
  • I'm guess it's like Herbalife or some ridiculously overpriced nonsense. I could be wrong though.

    OP, care to elaborate? Is it not just normal food?

    It isn't. It's one of those plans where you pay for all the food and they ship it to you. My favorite part:
    Real Food. Pre-Cooked, Frozen, No fillers like rice or noodles. No hidden sugars, or Bad Carbs. No preservatives or processed foods, just natural foods the way we ate 40 years ago.

    LOL.

    ETA: This is there idea of non-processed food:
    Western Omelet [Egg patty: Whole eggs, Whey, Skim milk, Butter flavored oil (Partially hydrogenated soybean oil, Salt, Soybean lecithin, Artificial flavors, Butter
    oil, Vitamin A palmitate, Beta carotene added for color), Soybean oil, Dried cream cheese product (Cream cheese, (Pasteurized milk and cream, Cheese culture,
    Salt, Carob bean gum), Nonfat dry milk, and Sodium phosphate), Modifed food starch, Salt, Xanthan gum, Liquid pepper extract, and Citric acid. Filling: Ham water
    added (Cured with: Water, Salt, Dextrose, Sodium phosphate, Smoke flavoring, Sodium erythorbate, Sodium nitrite), Onions, Red peppers, Green peppers,
    Pasteurized process cheddar cheese (Cheddar cheese (Pasteurized milk, Cheese culture, Salt, Enzymes), Water, Milkfat, Sodium phosphate, Sodium
    hexametaphosphate, Salt, Artificial color, with Cellulose powder added to prevent caking), Pasteurized process monterey jack cheese (Montery jack cheese
    (Pasteurized milk, Cheese culture, Salt, Enzymes), Water, Milkfat, Sodium phosphate, Salt, Sodium hexametaphosphate, with Cellulose powder added to prevent
    caking), Modified food starch, Salt.] Maple Sausage [Pork, Water, Sugar, Salt, Spices, Natural maple with other natural flavors, Dextrose, Autolyzed yeast, Natural
    flavor (Corn syrup solids, Lime juice solids, Natural flavor), Flavoring, BHT, TBHQ, Citric acid, Lactic acid.]

    40 years ago? Like the 1970s? So what is that, like fondue parties and tang?
  • 70% protein is craziness!
  • Honest question. Why don't you just meal plan and buy healthy food options instead of frozen items?

    Ugh, I hated their products. The meat was so rubbery… it was ridiculous. I had high hope for the convenience factor, but yuck! Not to mention you have to store a month’s worth of food. Even as a single person, that was difficult. I think some is still lurking in the bottom of my mom’s garage freezer.

    I’m glad you like it, but you can buy the same stuff from the store for much cheaper.

    Sign me up for that ham water.

    This is one of my favorite quotes from the Q&A because it's so science-y: "We only recommend apples during weight loss mode. However you will be best off to avoid any fructose sweetened item to maximize fat burn. Fructose may be low glycemic however it will stimulate the liver forcing it to create body fat."
  • I mean, the meals are kind of similar to the Salisbury Steak Dinners of the era

    Ooh, fancy! With inflation, the $299.95 price tag was the equivalent of $1,825. That better be one hell of a microwave.

    Irony at it's best. The "key" selling phrase is that this is food that "Personal Trainers" eat and recommend. To funny.

  • At $13 per meal, it's no wonder they are promoting it as Personal Trainer food. If they give me some shares, I'll endorse it!! Hahaha.
