I just finished my second week (well, 5 days) of Diet-to-Go meals.\u00a0 You can check out my first review here<\/a>.\u00a0 In that post, I summarized what I ate and gave a brief overview of every meal.\u00a0 This time, I’m going to talk about just a few of the meals and give highlights and lowlights.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out the end of the post for a special offer from Diet-to-Go!<\/p>\n

I’m typically a protein shake for breakfast type of person, so I have to say that the breakfasts were the most exciting thing for me.\u00a0 And they definitely varied.\u00a0 The first morning, I had a muffin with neufchatel cheese and marmalade.\u00a0 Seemed odd, but the muffin was dense and more like a scone, and thus delicious with the toppings.\u00a0 I never thought a tiny muffin would keep me full until lunch.<\/p>\n

Friday was pancakes and sausage.\u00a0 YUM!\u00a0 The pancakes were rolled up with some sort of fruit compote inside and they were phenomenal.\u00a0 This meal was packaged with a side of peppers and onions, which seemed a strange side to me (I would put those with eggs, not with sweet pancakes), plus my meal request was for “no large onions,” so this got tossed immediately.<\/p>\n

\"20130614-135849.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another meal I really enjoyed was the pasta and meatballs.\u00a0 The meatballs in this meal were really the centerpiece, leaving the pasta as a bit of a side.\u00a0 But oh my goodness, this meal was HUGE.\u00a0 I really shouldn’t have eaten the whole thing, but I was raised as a member of the clean plate club, and that habit has stuck with me.<\/p>\n

\"20130614-135857.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Additionally, I ate some of these meals during my rest days post-triathlon, so I wasn’t working out like normal.\u00a0 Had I eaten this after a 2 hour brick workout, I would have easily scarfed down every bite and probably licked the plate when I was done.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite meals this week, that I did not take a picture of, was the tuna meltovers.\u00a0 Delicious mini pitas topped with a bit of tuna salad and covered in melted cheese.\u00a0 It was amazing.\u00a0 I could have eaten this meal every day.<\/p>\n

The lowlights?\u00a0 Well, I wasn’t a fan of every meal.\u00a0 The noodle kugel breakfast was tasty but didn’t seem very substantial.\u00a0 And as I have said before, I feel like these meals could use more veggies.\u00a0 Of course, that’s something that’s very easy to substitute in – and honestly, I don’t know that I’d feel that I was getting my money’s worth if the meals were more veggies and less main course.<\/p>\n

I was getting the 1600 calorie low-fat plan. \u00a0Honestly, some of the meals were just too much food for me. \u00a0I think next time, I would get the 1200 calorie plan and then substitute in some of my own snacks. \u00a0That would be an easy way to get in veggies (mmm, carrots and peanut butter) and also not leave me feeling so full after I ate.<\/p>\n

Like I mentioned, I requested no large onions in my meals.\u00a0 I can’t eat onions unless they are fully cooked and prefer them in things like soups and stews and casseroles when I do eat them.\u00a0 My request comes from a time when I used Diet-to-Go a few years ago.\u00a0 For lunch, there was a delicious sounding sandwich.\u00a0 I was so very excited about this sandwich.\u00a0 It was a grilled sandwich, and man, it looked good.\u00a0 I took one big bite and…. ONIONS!\u00a0 Noooo!\u00a0 It was the saddest day ever.<\/p>\n

So now I tell them no large onions and so far, so good.\u00a0 Like I said, they still sometimes appear in the side veggies, but I can deal with that.\u00a0 I love that Diet-to-Go will adapt to this sort of request.\u00a0 I know a lot of people are vehemently against red peppers in their meals, and that can be accommodated.\u00a0 It means you might get some substitute meals (I know I had a few in my box this week), but if it means I won’t automatically hate the meals I get, I’m in!<\/p>\n

Diet-to-Go has a special gift card for new members that they’re allowing their ambassadors to share. \u00a0$50 off any 7 day meal plan!<\/p>\n
