I competed on an NPC stage in spring 2025, so I know the kind of eater MegaFit Meals is built for. The brand’s athlete roster reads like an Olympia lineup: Chris Bumstead, Jay Cutler, Derek Lunsford, Jennifer Dorie. What I wanted to know for this MegaFit Meals review is whether those meals make sense for a woman in her fifties who lifts, eats at least 30 grams of protein at every meal and does not necessarily want 70 grams of rice with it.

So I ordered a 12-meal box with my own money on the 20 percent off Subscribe and Save plan and wrote down every number: what it cost delivered, what each meal carried in protein, carbs and sodium, how it arrived and how it heated. I am 53, I train five days a week between my local gym and basement gym and I have been a ButcherBox subscriber since 2020, so I also know what the same protein costs when I cook it myself.

MegaFit did not send me anything, I paid for my order and I liked them so much that I got you a discount code. If you’d like to try them, just click here and use code Cher at checkout to save 10 percent. Everything about the meals themselves is first-hand.

What MegaFit Meals Is

MegaFit Meals is a prepared meal delivery service that cooks high-protein meals, flash-freezes them the same day and ships them on dry ice anywhere in the US. It is a family-owned company based in Calvert City, Kentucky. Its FAQ dates it to 2015. The meals arrive fully cooked, so all you do is thaw and heat.

There are three ways to fill a box:

• Signature Meals: dozens of set recipes across bowls and pastas, meat and potatoes, burgers and wraps, pizza, breakfast, desserts and four Keto Plates
• Custom Meals: you pick a protein, a carb and a vegetable and the portion of each, up to 16 ounces in total. Orders with Custom Meals deliver on Thursdays
• Protein Packs: plain cooked protein in 3-packs, like 5 ounce chicken breast portions, 93% grass-fed beef, bison, Angus steak, salmon, cod and shrimp, plus no-sodium chicken and steak by the pound

Packs come in 7, 12, 14, 16, 20 or 28 meals. Every pack except the 7 qualifies for 20% off when you subscribe. Several athletes have signature meals on the menu, which is why searches for MegaFit Meals CBUM are so common: Chris Bumstead’s Bum Bowl and CBUM’s Chicken and Rice sit next to Jay Cutler’s and Flex Lewis’s signature plates. When I checked, those athlete meals did not show a Subscribe and Save price.

What I Ordered and What It Cost

I picked six signature meals, two of each, with a mix of beef and chicken and a couple I expected to be indulgent. Here is the receipt.

Two things on that receipt to notice. First, shipping was a flat $14.99, which is more than the roughly $10 another MegaFit review mentions. Second, the subscription defaulted to weekly. My order confirmation shows a recurring total of $178.07 a week until cancelled, so if you only want to try it, skip the following weeks in your account before the next cutoff. I cover how that works in the subscription section below.

How My Box Arrived

My order went in on a Wednesday and was scheduled for delivery the following Wednesday, which matches MegaFit’s schedule: standard delivery runs on Wednesdays and Fridays, and you need to order by Saturday at 11:59 pm Central for a Wednesday box.

My box came packed in dry ice with every meal frozen solid. The sauce cups ride inside the trays, sealed on top of the food.

MegaFit says each meal is cooked fresh, flash-frozen the same day and packed on dry ice that keeps it fresh for up to 72 hours in transit. Once it lands, the meals keep up to five days in the fridge or 60 days in the freezer. The company recommends putting them straight into the freezer because there are no preservatives, and thawing them overnight in the fridge before you heat them.

The printed labels matched the website. My Garlic Parm Chicken label reads 540 calories, 46 grams of protein, 46 grams of carbs and 880 mg of sodium, the same as the product page. The Cheeseburger Bowl label matched its page too. Each label also carries a use-by date about two months out and the instruction to keep the meal frozen and thaw it in the fridge right before you use it.

How I Heat MegaFit Meals (and Why Not in the Tray)

I take every MegaFit meal out of its plastic tray and heat it in a skillet or an oven-safe dish. If you would rather use the microwave, move the food to a glass dish first. That is the one change I would make to how most people use a prepared meal and MegaFit’s own instructions make it easy.

Here is what MegaFit’s product pages and FAQ recommend:

• Skillet (their best method): thaw first, add the meal to a skillet over medium heat with 1 to 2 teaspoons of water if needed and heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring, until it reaches 165°F. They note it gives better texture and keeps the rice from drying out
• Oven or air fryer: preheat to 350°F, move the meal to an oven-safe dish and heat 3 to 5 minutes
• Microwave: peel back the film, remove any sauce cup and heat 90 seconds to 2 minutes, stirring halfway

Why I skip the tray: in lab testing, heat pulls more plastic out of a container than cold storage does. A lab study in Environmental Science and Technology tested polypropylene containers and polyethylene pouches and found microwave heating released more microplastic and nanoplastic particles than refrigeration or room-temperature storage. Some containers released as many as 4.22 million microplastic and 2.11 billion nanoplastic particles from a single square centimeter in three minutes. That was a lab test with water and a mild acid standing in for food, not a study of what happens in people, but it is still enough for me to spend 30 seconds moving dinner into a pan.

The bottom of each tray is stamped with a 5 inside the recycling triangle, the code for polypropylene. That is the same type of plastic as the containers in that study. MegaFit’s website does not list the tray material, so the stamp is my only source. The study also did not test MegaFit’s trays themselves. I am not claiming these trays shed what those containers did. Same plastic, same habit: the food goes into a pan.

In practice this is easy. The food pours straight out of the tray into a pan or dish and reheats with no fuss.

My Verdict on the Food

The Buffalo Mac and Cheese had great flavor. I was not hungry enough for a whole one that night, so I stirred in some leftover chicken and split it with my husband, which is the bowl in the photo above. The Korean Beef Bowl has a slightly sweet flavor from the honey and gochujang, but it is not overpowering.

I gave this box a 4.2 out of 5. My one complaint is not about how the meals heated or how they ate. It is that none of the ingredients are organic. MegaFit’s claims stop at grass-fed beef, free-range chicken and antibiotic and hormone-free chicken and turkey. I found no organic claim on its site or in the ingredient lists I read for the rice, produce or dairy.

At $12 to $22 a meal, organic ingredients are the upgrade I would want and they would push my rating higher. I had no other complaints about the box.

MegaFit Meals Macros, Meal by Meal

Every meal in my box cleared my 30 gram protein floor and most cleared it easily. The six averaged about 43 grams of protein each. Carbs and sodium are where they spread out, so here are all three side by side, from MegaFit’s nutrition panels.

A few things stand out. The Buffalo Mac and Cheese is the protein winner at 52 grams, and also the sodium leader at 1,030 mg, which its own label lists as 45% of the Daily Value. The Korean Beef Bowl carries 61 grams of carbs and 9 grams of added sugar, mostly from honey and gochujang. The Shredded Buffalo is the lightest meal in the box at 340 calories and the lowest in carbs at 32 grams, with red and Yukon potatoes instead of rice.

Those sodium figures do not include the sauce cups. Several meals come with a sauce on the side, and the cups can carry more sodium than the meal. The Buffalo Sauce cup lists 1,320 mg in 1.5 ounces, the Thavage Sauce 370 mg and the House Ranch 230 mg. If sodium matters to you, taste the meal before you open the cup. The labels say it plainly: the Cheeseburger Bowl’s nutrition panel is marked condiment not included.

The Best MegaFit Meals for Low-Carb Eaters

I have eaten low-carb since 2017. These days I eat more carbs than I used to and still stay under 150 grams a day, so a 60 gram rice bowl is half my day in one sitting. If you eat the way I describe in my high protein low carb diet guide, these are the MegaFit options that fit.

The Keto Plates trade carbs for fat. The Breakfast Casserole carries 47 grams of fat and 650 calories and the Creamy Chicken Parm 29 grams of fat with 17 grams saturated, so they are rich rather than lean. Surf and Turf is the outlier: 39 grams of protein in 240 calories with a pile of vegetables. The Protein Packs are the most flexible of all. You get plain cooked protein to drop onto a salad or your own vegetables, and the chicken breast lists just 220 mg of sodium per 5 ounce portion.

Cost per Meal and per Gram of Protein

MegaFit Meals prices on the menu are per meal. Price per gram of protein is the number I care about, because protein is the most expensive part of meals. Here is my box both ways, using the Subscribe and Save prices before shipping.

With shipping included, my whole box came to $178.07 for 514 grams of protein, or about $0.35 a gram. The Korean Beef Bowl was the worst value in the box and the Buffalo Mac and Cheese the best. The Protein Packs cost less than half as much per gram as any complete meal, because you are not paying MegaFit to cook your rice and vegetables.

Is that expensive? Against cooking it yourself, yes. You are paying for the cooking, the portioning and the cleanup you skip. I get ButcherBox and Wild Pastures boxes, and you can see what those cost in my ButcherBox review and Wild Pastures review. Where MegaFit earns its price is the week you would otherwise skip lunch, grab something with only 15 grams of protein or order takeout.

Why a 40 Gram Protein Meal Matters After 40

The reason I care so much about protein per meal and not only per day, is that the research points to meal size mattering more as we age.

In a randomized crossover study in The Journal of Nutrition, eight healthy adults ate the same daily protein two ways for a week each: about 30 grams at each of three meals, or most of it at dinner with little at breakfast. Spreading it evenly produced 25 percent higher muscle protein synthesis over 24 hours. It was a small study, but it is why I build every meal around protein rather than saving it for dinner.

Age raises the bar. A retrospective analysis of lab data in The Journals of Gerontology found older men needed about 0.40 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight in a single meal to max out muscle protein synthesis, compared with 0.24 grams per kilogram in younger men. That study included only men, so it is a direction rather than a rule for women. If the pattern holds, a 150 pound woman would need about 27 grams in one sitting just to get the full response, more if she is lifting hard.

That is where a 40 gram MegaFit meal earns its place. Most of us eat the bulk of our protein at dinner and a meal that hands you 40 grams at lunch with no cooking evens that out. If you are not sure what your daily target should be, my protein calculator for women works it out from your lean mass. My guide to how much protein women need per day explains the reasoning.

Are MegaFit Meals Healthy?

MegaFit Meals is a healthy choice for most people on the protein and ingredient side, with two things to watch: sodium and, for some of us, carbs.

MegaFit says it uses 93% grass-fed beef, Certified Angus steak and wild-caught salmon and cod. Its chicken is free-range and its chicken and turkey are antibiotic and hormone-free. Everything is cooked in a USDA-approved facility with no preservatives, GMOs or additives. Every ingredient except the salmon is sourced in the US, according to its FAQ. Two details did not line up when I read the product pages. The FAQ calls the salmon wild-caught while the menu sells it as Norwegian salmon, and I could not find where it is caught. And the Korean Beef Bowl and Keto Cheeseburger Bowl list 90% lean beef in their ingredients rather than the 93% grass-fed beef the FAQ describes. The ingredient lists on the product pages read like home cooking: chicken breast, potatoes, butter, garlic, herbs. Where a cooking oil is listed, it is avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil. Many meals carry gluten-free and dairy-free tags.

Sodium is the trade-off. The six meals in my box averaged about 750 mg each before sauce cups, and two of them sat near or above 900 mg. Two of those meals plus breakfast can take you past the 2,300 mg Daily Value on the labels. That matters because sodium raises blood pressure across a wide range of people. In the DASH-Sodium trial in The New England Journal of Medicine, 412 adults ate controlled diets at three sodium levels for 30 days each. Every step down lowered systolic blood pressure, in women and men and in people with and without high blood pressure.

None of that makes a 750 mg lunch a problem on its own. If you eat one MegaFit meal a day and cook the rest of your food from scratch, it fits easily. If you plan to eat two or three a day, pick the lower-sodium meals like the Cheeseburger Bowl (500 mg), Surf and Turf (470 mg) and the Protein Packs. Go easy on the sauce cups too. MegaFit also sells no-sodium chicken breast and steak by the pound.

How the Subscription Works

MegaFit lets you order once with no subscription, which is the main reason I would point a curious reader there rather than to a subscription-only service. The catch is that the 20% discount only applies when you subscribe, and the 7-meal pack is excluded from it entirely.

• Discount: 20% off with Subscribe and Save on 12, 14, 16, 20 and 28 meal packs. The 7 pack and some athlete signature meals are full price
• Frequency: my subscription defaulted to weekly at $178.07 a week
• Order cutoffs: Saturday 11:59 pm Central for Wednesday delivery and Tuesday 11:59 pm Central for Friday delivery, per the FAQ. My account page asks for subscription changes by the Friday before a Wednesday delivery
• Shipping: $14.99 flat rate on my order to Ohio

I skipped my next two weekly deliveries from the My Subscription page in my account. That page has buttons to skip the next order, unskip, edit meals and change your address or payment. There is also a cancel button on that page, so stopping the subscription takes a click. The one thing that surprised me is that changing your delivery date is not a button: the page says to contact MegaFit by live chat or email at [email protected].

My advice is the same as for every subscription box I have reviewed. If you subscribe for the discount, put the next charge date in your calendar the day you order and change it before the cutoff rather than after.

MegaFit Meals Coupon Code

The best MegaFit Meals discount is not a coupon code. It is Subscribe and Save, which takes 20% off and beats every working code I know of. My reader code Cher takes 10% off, but MegaFit does not let it stack with the subscription discount, so you get one or the other.

Coupon sites advertise MegaFit Meals promo codes anywhere from 10% to 45% off. I cannot vouch for any of them. The checkout is the only place to find out whether a code works, and none of them stack with the subscription price either.

MegaFit Meals vs Factor

Factor is the name most people compare MegaFit with, so here is how the two line up on what each company says on its own site.

The biggest practical difference is the freezer. Factor meals are fresh rather than frozen, so they are built to be eaten on a weekly schedule. MegaFit meals keep for two months, so you can order a bigger pack less often and keep a stash for busy weeks. If you want a fresh meal and eat them on a schedule, Factor makes sense. If you want backup protein in the freezer, MegaFit fits better. Factor does not list its per-meal prices on the pages I checked, so compare the totals at checkout for the number of meals you want.

MegaFit Meals Reviews and Complaints

MegaFit Meals reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but the sample is small. On Trustpilot it holds a 4.8 out of 5 from 99 reviews, with 95% five-star. The profile is unclaimed and Trustpilot notes the company has not invited customers to review, so those reviews were posted unprompted. That is a point in its favor, but 99 reviews is a thin record next to bigger meal services.

The complaints that do show up follow a pattern:

• Arriving thawed: the only one-star review on Trustpilot, from May 2026, describes meals arriving defrosted several weeks in a row and slow replies from customer service
• Shipping cost and speed: a four-star review from October 2025 criticizes shipping costs, carrier speed and subscription flexibility
• Texture in the microwave: another hands-on reviewer found vegetables went soggy when microwaved and reported a small bone fragment in one ground beef batch
• Price: the most common complaint anywhere, and fair, as the cost section above shows

The microwave complaint is one more reason I heat in a skillet or an oven-safe dish. MegaFit’s own instructions call the skillet its best method for texture.

MegaFit Meals Pros and Cons

Pros

• Most signature meals carry 35 to 59 grams of protein, and every meal in my box cleared 30 grams
• One-time orders allowed, with no subscription required
• 20% off with Subscribe and Save on packs of 12 or more
• Flash-frozen meals keep 60 days in the freezer
• Grass-fed beef, free-range chicken and readable ingredient lists
• Custom Meals and plain Protein Packs for people who track macros closely
• Keto Plates for low-carb eaters
• Easy skip and cancel within the dashboard

Cons

• Most bowls carry 40 to 74 grams of carbs
• Sodium ran 500 to 1,030 mg per meal in my box, before sauce cups
• $14.99 shipping on my order
• The subscription defaulted to weekly
• The 7 pack and athlete signature meals do not get the 20% discount
• My Cher code does not stack with Subscribe and Save
• No organic ingredients
• Tray material is not listed on the site (my trays are stamped 5, polypropylene), so I move the food out before heating

Who MegaFit Meals Is Right For

Order it if you know your protein target and lunch is the meal that keeps falling apart. A freezer stash of 40 gram meals fixes that without a meal-prep Sunday. It also suits anyone who travels for work or wants backup meals for a busy stretch, since the meals keep two months.

Skip it or narrow it if you eat low-carb, because most of the menu is built on rice, potatoes and pasta. Stick to the Keto Plates and Protein Packs. Skip it too if you are watching sodium closely and plan to eat several a day, or if you are optimizing cost per gram of protein, because cooking your own will always win on price.

If you are curious, start with a 12-meal box on Subscribe and Save, pick the meals that fit how you eat and skip the weeks you do not need the day your box ships.

How I Keep This Review Current

MegaFit rotates its menu and adjusts prices. The other hands-on review I found while researching this one quotes a five percent subscription discount and meal prices that no longer match the site. I recheck the prices, the Subscribe and Save terms and the nutrition numbers in this MegaFit Meals review at least twice a year. I will add the Keto Plates and Protein Packs to my hands-on notes as I order them.

If you order and your experience is different from mine, tell me. I would rather correct this page than defend it.
