I live in Manila and work in Makati so I commute an average of 3-4 hours everyday. With that, I barely have time to cook meals for myself . Now, my office relocated in Makati Ave so its even more difficult to buy affordable and good meals. So in my search for a food delivery service that will suit my needs, I came across Plan Eat.
Plan Eat offers 1200, 1500, 1800 and 2000 calorie meals. The different meal plans contain the same set of meal, they just vary in quantity. I order the 1200 calorie per day set since I haven't been visiting the gym lately, my only exercise perhaps is when I'm malling haha :) The set is worth Php1,200.00 which is good for 5 days plus Php 100.00 for the delivery. They deliver the food on the day of consumption so when I get to my office building at around 8:30AM, my food is already waiting for me.
This is not my first time to try diet delivery. I have tried Dear Diet before (failed to do a review) but they charge Php1,700.00 (inclusive of delivery) for 1200cal meal. It's still cheap compared to other diet delivery services but with Plan Eat, I get to save Php400.00 more.
So for my first week with Plan Eat, below are the meals that I received from them.
DAY 1
Breakfast: Green Tea Chocochip Muffin
AM Snack: Apple

Overall, I am pleased with my meals with Plan Eat. I am also glad that the set comes with 1 sachet of instant coffee so I still get to enjoy coffee everyday. I would recommend Plan Eat to those who are interested to try calorie counting and are looking for affordable meals. Having food on delivery certainly was convenient for me since I don't need to worry on my meals plus I get to be surprised what will I get everyday. Some people may find the meat servings quite small but hey that's what calorie counting is about right?
