Meal Plan - How much have you paid?

Hello!
I just paid 150$ for a month of meal plan... I'm wondering if that was reasonable or not?
I don't really feel like it was at all.
She gave me 6 meals, to eat each day... and that's it. Not a different meal plan for everyday, not a different meal plan for each week. Just 6 meal ideas that I'm to eat the same thing everyday. I told her my whole problem was boredom - if I'm bored of eating the same foods, I cheat. That I needed variety... what should I do? I don't feel like I got what I paid for really... and I didn't get a lot of options which was the whole reason I wanted to go with someone to create a meal plan for me... I don't want to argue with her, but I obviously can't get my money back either. I'm just not satisfied
She charges 150/month - has anyone ever paid someone to create meal plans for them? What did you pay? What did you get for it??

I would never pay for meal plans, not with the internet available. It is super easy to find recipes online that will fit into your allotted calories. It will take some time and patience to create it, but isn't your health worth it? JMO0

Okay well I appreciate that.... but that doesn't help me with what's already has happened?
I have already paid and already been supplied with a meal plan.. I know the internet is readily available, but I work 14 hr days, with 3 hrs of commuting, I don't have time to search a lot of meal plans and recipes up and find out what works and what doesn't. Maybe in the future but for now, that's just not a time viable option. I barely get time to meal prep.
Sorry, you didn't really assist me with answering my question.0 -
This was for meal plans and not meals themselves? If so, you got ripped. I would have done it for $50 and a bag of jawbreakers.0
-
Yes that was just for 6 meals...
Literally 6 meals. Not 6 days of different meals... or anything like that. Just 6 meals.0 -
Did that $150.00 include the groceries? I've never heard of someone paying for a "meal plan" that didn't include the actual food, you know like Jenny Craig or something. She gave you 6 recipes for $150.00?
One of the biggest things I have learned since starting here is how to shop and cook better! Most people get bored if they are eating the same thing everyday. Since starting a couple of months ago, I have tried so many new and wonderful vegetables and foods. Tried some excellent healthy recipes and have generally learned how to feed myself and my family a whole lot healthier. This has become so much more than a diet or meal plan to me, it is truly a lifestyle change.0 -

What is your question? Did anyone else get ripped off?0 -
Thats expensive! I would not pay for just a meal plan. You can get a good weekly meal plan from magazines a lot cheaper.
Write it off as experience and don't pay any more!
Treat yourself to a subscription to a good magazine - I subscribe to Healthy food guide, it comes out once a month and lands on my door step before its in the shops. It has a weekly meal planner based on 1,500cl, it then gives 5 days worth of ideas to carry on with. It also has loads of recipes and interesting items for only £3.10.
Surely you must be able to get something similar?
Good luck!

How did you find this person? And how soon can you cancel so you never have to pay her again.
There are meal planning websites if that's what you really want/need.
And, if you want that structure, most formal diets, such as South Beach etc. have a meal planning option.0 -
They weren't even recipes! I'm feeling really ripped off.
It definitely isn't something I'll be doing again - you're right about 'writing it off as an experience'
The meal plan looks something similar to this:
meal 1 - 1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup mixed berries, 1 scoop protein
meal 2 - 4 ox chicken breast, mixed in with 1 cup cucumber, 1 cup tomatoes or celery, and tblspn vinegrette
meal 3 - 2 pieces ezikiel bread 1 tbsp. pb
so forth and so on. to add up to 6 meals a day.... aaaaand that's it.0 -
You paid $25 per meal, bloody hell what a total rip off. I would got back and demand a proper meal plan...after all you told her you get bored and she gives you 6 meals for a whole month??! My kids could think of more meals than that lol.
I would never ever pay for this kind of stuff.
The internet is your friend, there are lots of workout programs that come with meal plans you could look at those.0 -
I thought it was pretty standard, and couldn't find much on the internet in regards to costs for meal plans and such from professionals.
I am now finding out I definitely got screwed lol.
What websites would you recommend?0 -
Ugh stuff like this makes me realize that I am in the wrong business.0

I like the Abs Diet cookbook for the recipes but it also has meal plans.0 -
Id demand my money back, seriously you have been ripped off!
look online at diet chef and jenny craig for example. £40- £70 a week they supply you with 3 meals a day and snacks and a large variety for you to choose from every month.0 -
I did fitorbit.com & paid $99 for 3 months of weekly meal plans that included 3 meals a day, 1-3 snacks plus workout plans & access to a personal trainer to chat with whenever I needed to ask a question or get feedback. This didn't include food, but I did receive a detailed grocery list each week with the menu0

As for the OP I wondered if you'd be interested in a bag of magic beans?0

Agreed^^
I have the insanity meal plan if you want that. Of course, you'll have to figure out how many calories you need a day. But it comes with a lot of different varieties.0 -
I have never paid specifically for a meal plan, but my personal trainer has always helped me with ideas and what to eat to hit my macros. Are you sure she isn't going to give you more as the month goes on? 6 meals is not really a month of meal planning.0

What is your question? Did anyone else get ripped off?
I didn't mean to come off as rude or anything so I'm sorry if I did. But my question was - if anyone else HAS paid for a meal plan, what was given to them? Recipes? Daily regime? Etc. I was wondering if people HAVE paid for a meal plan, what did they receive for it and at what cost? What is standard in a 'meal plan' by someone who claims to be a professional at this.0 -
As for the OP I wondered if you'd be interested in a bag of magic beans?
I'll take TWO bags of magic beans, and you can probably charge me 1000$ because I am an idiot lol this was my first time ever paying for a meal plan, I had NO idea what to expect!0 -
Start here. But there are many. http://www.eatthismuch.com You can customize it for whatever type of eating you're interested in.I thought it was pretty standard, and couldn't find much on the internet in regards to costs for meal plans and such from professionals.
I am now finding out I definitely got screwed lol.
What websites would you recommend?
I have never used one myself, nor ones in a formal diet book. I like to eat what I'm in the mood for, know what I mean?0 -
I pay nothing.. Wow. :noway: :laugh:0
-
Thank you everyone for the helpful suggestions on sites to check out!!! Much appreciated0
-
I wouldn't pay for a meal plan when I can use MFP for free to determine what fits my macros and calorie goals.
I'm sorry you lost your $150 dollars.0 -

Just consider it a cheap lesson. You coulda been on the hook to pay this for a year or something!
Personally, I'm an on-the-fly meal planner and I do a whirlwind of cooking on Sundays and do leftovers all week, and go out on Saturdays. I do some slowcooker pulled pork/chicken, bake 5 butterflied breasts, and lots of veggies. I only do salt/pepper so that I can season/sauce them however I like throughout the week. I've tried planning, but I'm extremely lazy and always deviate from any plan.0 -

There is always someone on here that wants to put someone down rather than offering help or encouragement.0 -
