Low-calorie meal delivery: each service’s calorie line, per serving

All 14 services compared here label lower-calorie meals, and six of them draw the line near 650 calories a serving: HelloFresh, EveryPlate, Green Chef, Marley Spoon, Dinnerly and Gobble. Home Chef’s line is 625, Blue Apron’s, Sunbasket’s and Purple Carrot’s 600, and Factor’s and CookUnity’s about 550; Daily Harvest’s collection, of items that are not full dinners, stays at 250. Splendid Spoon has a filter with no figure. A calorie label describes the dish, not a diet.

650, 625, 600 or 550

The lines are per serving, so they compare directly: Blue Apron’s 600 is stricter than HelloFresh’s 650. EveryPlate says “around”, Factor “roughly” and CookUnity “typically”, so a dish can sit a little either side; if you count calories closely, read each dish’s nutrition before you order.

A plan, or a tag on the menu

HelloFresh builds its Fit & Wholesome plan around the line, Green Chef its Calorie Smart plan and Gobble its Lean & Clean plan, and EveryPlate’s Calorie Smart plan shows its lower-calorie recipes first. Elsewhere the low-calorie dishes are tagged on a menu that carries everything else, so how many you can pick changes from week to week: three dinners for two needs three of them on that week’s menu.

Meals to heat

Factor’s Calorie Smart meals and CookUnity’s low-calorie meals arrive cooked at about 550 calories, one serving to a tray, so what the label says is what is on the plate, with no portion to divide.

Compare

Factor vs CookUnity compares the two at about 550 calories, HelloFresh vs Home Chef a 650 line against a 625 one, and Dinnerly vs Marley Spoon two kits with the same line.
