Factor 101 — Your Guide to Fresh, Ready-To-Eat Meals
Ever feel like eating well is a compromise? I used to. Between work, gym sessions, and managing an active social life, healthy meals always took a back burner. Pricey takeout and frozen dinners — they kept me fed, but never fueled. I wanted balanced and flavourful fare that actually works for me, without spending hours in the kitchen.
Then I discovered Factor, the ready-to-eat meal service that completely changed my eating game. Here’s everything you need to know:
What Is Factor, And What Makes It Stand Out?
Factor is Canada’s #1 ready-to-eat meal delivery service, designed for people like me who want convenient, high-quality nutrition, without compromise. Registered Dietitians craft every meal with balanced, science-backed nutrition and fresh ingredients.
Whether I’m working out, powering through a hectic workday, or just trying to stay energized, Factor keeps me on track — no guesswork, no stress, just meals that nourish my body and fit seamlessly into my lifestyle.
How Convenient Is It?
Factor meals arrive fresh, never frozen, and are ready in just 2 minutes, either in the microwave or oven. No chopping, no prep, no messy pans, just grab, heat, and enjoy.
It’s faster than either cooking and even takeout, like having a personal chef in your kitchen without the overhead. For a chaotic schedule like mine, Factor’s convenience makes all the difference.
How Flexible Are Factor’s Plans?
Factor offers weekly plans designed to fit any lifestyle. Select how many meals you want — whether it’s just one or you’re stocking up for the week — and swap or mix options to keep things interesting.
Factor caters to dietary restrictions and preferences, like Protein Plus, Calorie Smart, Keto, Vegan/Veggie, and Chef’s Choice.
What Types of Meals Can You Expect?
With 40+ fresh, ready-to-eat meals each week, Factor serves up everything from comforting Canadian classics to globally inspired dishes; there’s truly something for everyone.
Craving Mexican? Try the Pulled Chicken Taco Bowl with Roasted Corn Salsa & Cilantro Lime Sour Cream. Want something light? The Garlic Marinara Tofu & Pesto Quinoa hits the spot. Looking for bold and spicy flavours? The Thai Curry Shrimp with Roasted Broccoli & Steamed Carrots delivers a punch.
Plus, Factor offers over 65 add-ons: cold-pressed juices, protein smoothies, fluffy pancakes, and delish desserts. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a little post-dinner treat.
Are Factor Meals Really High-Quality and Nutritious?
Every meal is made from scratch with carefully sourced ingredients. There are no artificial additives, refined sugars, or unnecessary preservatives, just clean, purposeful food that tastes like a culinary delight I’d whip up myself if I had the time.
Factor sets strict standards to optimize nutritional quality, including limits on sugars, sodium, total fat, and saturated fat. Chefs and dietitians team up to create meals that check every box and taste amazing.
Is the Subscription Sustainable — and Flexible?
Factor uses recyclable packaging, and the insulated boxes can often be reused, lowering single-use waste. By working with Canadian suppliers, Factor shortens its supply chain and empowers local food networks. Meals are prepared and shipped from Mississauga, helping reduce spoilage and lower emissions.
Absolutely. Factor’s subscription is fully adaptable: you can skip a week, pause, or cancel at any time

Factor has completely changed the way I think about meals. It proves that you don’t have to compromise on nutrition, quality, or flavour simply because life is busy. Fresh meals, flexible plans, zero stress — Factor helps you eat well without overthinking it.
