I recently started using Eat Clean meal delivery. Does anyone have any knowledge whether their calorie counts are accurate? I’m having a hard time believing that the giant portion of food they provide equates to the small number of calories they state.

Just started MyFitnessPal, so I want to make sure my calorie count is accurate. Thx!

    The calorie counts are most likely accurate. Less processed foods are generally less calorie dense than highly processed foods so the servings look larger with fewer calories. Extreme example, take a look at 100 calories of broccoli compared to 100 calories of a chocolate chip cookie.

    Good luck.

    Thanks, I appreciate that. The odd thing is, though, that the ingredients include things that usually produce a ton of calories. They had a keto lasagna that replaced the pasta with a cheese shell. That, plus the beef and sauce, was supposedly 350 calories.

    I had great success with MyBistroMD, but its meals *felt* like 350 calories. The Eat Clean meals taste just like regular food (and better) and have huge portion sizes. I’m still skeptical.

    The ingredient list is often incorrect and almost certain the calories are way off. Sorry.

    The USDA allows 20% +/- on any food label to still be considered "accurate". Is this what you're talking about?

    Here in Europe the labelling is often "per 100g" so if your meal weighs 350g you will need to multiply by 3.5. Perhaps you need to check the labels on the packets.
